EDINBORO, Pa. (November 22, 2015) – Senior guard Henri Wade-Chatman posted 27 points, five assists, and four steals, while senior center Tommy Scales tallied up 18 points and seven rebounds en route to an Edinboro University men's basketball win over Mansfield, 88-75. The game took place Sunday afternoon in McComb Fieldhouse.

The first half was not a strong one for Edinboro, as they shot 37.9% from the field. Senior guard Henri Wade-Chatman shot 2-for-7, making two of four 3-point attempts and one free throw for seven first-half points. Edinboro led at the half, 33-30, with Mansfield's Joe Marshall hitting a buzzer-beating layup to hold Edinboro's lead to three.

The Fighting Scots picked up momentum to begin the second half, with senior center Tommy Scales hitting back-to-back jump shots to put the Boro up, 37-30. But each time Edinboro tried to pull away with the lead, Mansfield responded to keep toe-to-toe with the Fighting Scots. With the game tied at 40 with 16:32 remaining, the Scots went on a 10-3 run, aided by a pair of 3-pointers by sophomore forward Michael Beck and Wade-Chatman.

Edinboro kept the heat on as Wade-Chatman came to life in the second half with 20 points and shooting 5-for-8 from behind the arc, accompanied by Scales shooting a perfect 5-for-5 from the field. The Scots went up by double digits for the first time in the game with 11:20 remaining in regulation, as Wade-Chatman, after nailing another 3-pointer, stole the ball away from Eric Lewis and drove to the net for a slam dunk to give the Scots the lead, 60-50.

Mansfield was able to narrow the lead down to four, trailing 62-58 with 8:23 left in the game. But this would be as close as the Mountaineers would get, with Edinboro responding with a 12-3 run, capitalized with a 3-pointer by redshirt junior guard by Sheldon Brogdon, to take a 74-61 lead, their largest lead of the game. The Mounties would mount on final threat with a pair of 3-pointers by Gerisimos Koutoufas to draw within seven with 3:36 to go in regulation. But it would be all Edinboro from that point on, as Wade-Chatman and Brogdon each added a 3-pointer to their totals to give the Fighting Scots the sizeable win.

The Fighting Scots outrebounded the Mountaineers, 42-29. Edinboro had a 66.7% field goal percentage in the second half and an overall field goal percentage of 52.5%. Wade-Chatman finished the day shooting 9-for-17, making seven of 12 3-point attempts. He also moved past Price Williams to become Edinboro's 30th all-time leading scorer with 927 career points. Scales shot 7-for-10 while converting on four of five free throws. Redshirt sophomore guard Jaymon Mason scored 12 points with six assists, shooting a perfect 4-for-4 from the foul line.
