GOSHEN, Ind. – The No. 22-ranked Indiana Tech women's basketball team recorded its 24^th straight victory Friday evening as they defeated Goshen College, 78-52, inside Ruth Gunden Gymnasium. The 24 straight wins is the longest streak in program history and breaks the previous record set by the 2018-19 team that won 23 from Nov. 3, 2018-Feb. 6, 2019.
 
Kyra Whitaker led the way with a season-high 24 points on 7-15 shooting, including 5-11 shooting from downtown while adding six rebounds and a steal. Taya Andrews had 12 points and four rebounds while Eileen Salisbury added 12 points, two rebounds and two blocks. Emma Tuominen had 11 points, three rebounds and two steals off the bench while Alexis Hill had eight points, seven assists and six rebounds.
 
The first quarter was a back-and-forth battle between the two teams, meeting for the first time since Dec. 15, 2011 with four ties and four lead changes. A free throw from Erika Foy tied the game up at 8-8 and started an 8-3 run for the Warriors as they took a 15-11 lead with 3:36 to play in the first quarter. Goshen was able to tie the game back up at 15-15 with 99 seconds to go in the period but Tech got back on top to close out the quarter with a 22-18 lead.
 
The Orange and Black pushed the lead to double digits with a 32-22 lead at the 4:45 mark of the second quarter following an 8-0 spurt that was powered by a pair of triples from Whitaker. The Maples Leafs responded with a 9-2 run to cut the deficit to three points, but the Warriors ended the half on an 8-0 run to take back control and enter the locker room leading 42-31.
 
Goshen scored the first basket of the second half to cut the deficit to nine points, but that would be the last time the Warriors lead would be in the single digits as Foy stared a 6-1 run with a basket at the 9:18 mark. An 8-0 run from the Warriors put them up 58-37 with 4:20 left to go in the third and the rout was on as the Maple Leafs were unable to get back to within fewer than 17 points while the visitors grew the lead to as many as 26 to continue their historic winning streak.
 
Tech (5-0) returns to action on Thursday, Nov. 19 as they open Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) play against Cornerstone University. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. from the Schaefer Center.
