Make it 14 in a Row for Fighting Scots with 83-54 Win over Gannon

EDINBORO, Pa. – After a slow start, the Edinboro women's basketball team pulled away for its 14th straight win on Wednesday night, handing local rival Gannon an 83-54 defeat in a PSAC West contest. The victory boosted the Fighting Scots to 14-2 overall and 10-0 in the PSAC West, as Edinboro remained in a first place tie with Indiana(Pa.). Gannon fell to 4-12 overall and 4-6 in PSAC play.
 
Edinboro has now won 16 straight games at home, in large part due to a big second half. Gannon took a 20-18 lead midway through the second quarter after scoring the first eight points of the quarter, part of an 11-0 run. An old-fashioned 3-point play by Allison Thompson gave the Fighting Scots the lead for good at 21-20.  That play started a string of seven straight points for a 25-20 advantage with 2:53 left to play in the half. The Fighting Scots would end the half with a 32-25 lead.
 
The third quarter began with Katie Fischer making a pair of free throws following a technical on Gannon at the end of the half. The lead would grow to 42-30 when Michelle Jahn buried a 3-pointer, and Gannon never pulled closer than eight points the rest of the way.

Edinboro would shoot 57.6 percent (19-of-33) over the final twenty minutes to end the night at 46.9 percent (30-of-64). Gannon, meanwhile, shot 50.0 percent, but took just 16 shots over the final two quarters as they turned the ball over 14 times and were outrebounded 16-10.
 
While winning for the 11th time in the last 15 meetings with Gannon, Edinboro showcased five players in double figures. Fischer led the way as the senior guard recorded her first double-double of the season with 16 points and 10 assists, adding three of Edinboro's 13 steals.
 
Freshman Michaela Barnes added 13 points, making 3-of-4 3-pointers. Ciara Rosten had 11 points, five rebounds, and four steals, while Jahn ended the night with 11 points.
