It actually was the next to last minute, as freshman forward
McKinley Mendenhall's tally in the 89
th minute lifted the Eagles to a 1-0 decision over the Yellow Jackets.
Ashland, thanks to five consecutive victories, is alone atop the Great Midwest Athletic Conference table at 8-1-2 overall and 7-0-1 in the league, while Cedarville is 6-4-1, 6-2-0.
