EDINBORO, Pa. – Sheldon Brogdon dropped in a career-high 31 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome 15 3-pointers by a hot-shooting Daemen team on Wednesday afternoon at McComb Fieldhouse. The Fighting Scots suffered a 90-79 loss to Daemen to fall to 2-3 on the young season. Daemen remained undefeated at 4-0 as head coach Mike MacDonald picked up his 300th career win.
 
Brogdon is known to his teammates as "Ice", but on Wednesday a more appropriate nickname would have been "Fire". The senior guard sizzled after entering the game with just over seven minutes to play in the first half. He made 12-of 15-shots, including 7-of-9 3-pointers, to surpass his previous career high of 24 points at Wheeling Jesuit two years ago. Brogdon added four rebounds while playing 27 minutes.
 
Unfortunately, the rest of the Fighting Scots struggled with their shooting as Edinboro ended the day at 44.4 percent from the floor (28-of-63), including a 10-for-31 showing from beyond the arc.
 
Chibunna Ukandu also bettered his career-high, finishing with 19 points. That included a 7-for-7 showing at the line, along with five rebounds. Jaymon Mason added 11 points and fell a rebound shy of his third double double of the season. The junior guard added six assists.
 

Edinboro held a 41-30 advantage on the glass as sophomore center Jack Frank pulled down a career-best 14 rebounds. He added eight points.
 
Daemen made 15-of-29 3-pointers while shooting 51.5 percent (34-of-66) from the floor. The Wildacts also committed just eight turnovers compared to 15 for Edinboro. That led to a 22-9 advantage in points off turnovers.
 
The Wildcats featured four players in double digits, led by Arif Mehmetaj. Playing in his first game of the season, the second team All-East Coast Conference performer made 6-of-8 3-pointers while ending the afternoon with 26 points. He added a team-high seven rebounds. Jeff Redband made 6-oof-10 3-pointers on his way to 20 points, while Supreme Hannah had 13 points and Deion Hamilton 11.
 
Daemen led the entire first half, taking a 44-34 lead at the half. Still trailing by eight points at 55-47 with 13:58 to play, the Fighting Scots went on a 9-0 run over the next three minutes to take a 56-55 lead.
 
Andre Frederick started the rally with a layup, and Brogdon followed with another layup off a turnover. Frederick's reverse layup brought the Scots to within a point, and when Brogdon drained a 3-pointer with 10:47 left, Edinboro took its first lead of the game at 56-55.
 
Unfortunately, it would be the only lead the Boro would hold all day. Daemen proceeded to go on a 17-6 run fueled by three 3-pointers by Mehmetaj, to go up by ten at 72-62 with 6:10 remaining. A Brogdon three would cut the deficit to seven points, but that is as close as the Scots would come.
 
Edinboro returns to action on Saturday, December 3, hosting East Stroudsburg for the start of back-to-back PSAC crossover games.
