Box Score Wabash soccer kept its winning streak going with a 2-1 win over the Golden Eagles of Spalding University in the second period of extra-time.
 
Freshman Cory Sims scored his first goal of the season in the 106th minute to keep the Little Giants' consecutive-game winning streak to open the season in tact.
 
The 4-0 start to the campaign is the best Wabash has turned in since the 1996 season, when the team won five straight to start the year. That 1996 team finished the season 12-3.

Spalding (4-2) opened the scoring in the twelfth minute as Aden Abdirahman made sneaky run through the Wabash defense and finished the ball into the bottom left-hand corner of the goal. The Little Giants scored the equalizer shortly before the half when, in the 38th minute, Max Rowley fired a rocket of a shot into the right upper ninety of the Spalding net in the 38th minute to even the score at 1-1
.
The score would remain level throughout the second half and both periods of extra-time until Sims finished on a ball in the Spalding 18-yard box to give the Little Giants the win.
 
After the match Sims talked about his winner.
           
"I'm just in disbelief," Sims said. "I was just trying to play my role. I didn't get a lot of minutes and then Coach told me to go in because he wanted some height in the game. I just went in there and the ball came to me and I put it away. So I'm ecstatic right now."
           
Rodrigo Porras picked up his first assist of the season on the Rowley goal. Mike Gore and Rowley combined to assist on Sims's winner.
           
Riley Pelton and Rowley led the Little Giants with three shots a piece. Wabash out shot Spalding by a margin of 22-8 overall. Wabash held a 10-2 margin coming in at 10-2 in shots on goal.
 
           
"We hadn't given up a goal all year," Head Coach Chris Keller said. "So that was a little emotional for our team after trailing 1-0.  We had to react a certain way, and did in a positive way by getting that goal before half time to level the game. We came back dominated the second half and the two overtime periods. Spalding is a great team, but I felt like our effort got us that win today."
           
Dayton Jennings picked up both the start and the win on the day. He tallied only a single save.
           
The Little Giants return to action next Wednesday night as they take on Hanover College at Mud Hollow Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m.
