Jahn's Career-High 34 Points Lead Fighting Scots to Ninth Straight Win, 86-50 at Fairmont State

FAIRMONT, W.Va. – Michelle Jahn scored a career-high 34 points as the Edinboro women's basketball team remained undefeated with an 86-50 win at Fairmont State on Tuesday afternoon. The non-conference victory boosted Edinboro to 9-0 on the season. The Fighting Scots came in ranked tenth in the D2SIDA Division II Top 25 and 13th in the WBCA Top 25. Fairmont State fell to 5-6.

The 9-0 start is the best for the Fighting Scots since the 2011-12 team won their first 24 games to start the season. Today's contest marked the final non-conference game for Edinboro. Their final 17 games are against PSAC opponents.

The 86 points gives Edinboro 80-or-more points in six straight games. They have now held the opposition to under 50 points in four straight contests.

Edinboro used an early 21-2 spurt that began with 15 straight points to leave any doubt about the outcome. Fairmont State scored the first three points of the game, but the Falcons would not score again for over four-and-a-half minutes as Edinboro scored 15 consecutive points.

A Michaela Barnes' basket got Edinboro on the board, and Ciara Rosten knotted the score at 3-3 with a free throw. Jontay Walton followed with a 3-pointer, with Rosten making one-of-two free throws and Jahn scored her first points on a layup (?). The run ended with a pair of baskets by Rosten and a Barnes' jumper.

Edinboro led 28-13 after one quarter, with Jahn scoring 11 points. The Fighting Scots shot 56.3 percent from the floor (9-of-16) in the opening 10 minutes while holding the Falcons to 4-of-13 (30.8 pct.). Edinboro also made 9-of-11 free throws and outrebounded Fairmont State 14-4.

Fairmont State scored the first two points of the second quarter to close the gap to 13 points, but that was as close as the deficit would get. Edinboro outscored the Falcons, 21-12, in the second quarter for a 49-25 lead at the half. The lead grew to 68-40 after three quarters, and was as much as 38 points at 86-48 in the final minute.

Edinboro ended the game shooting 40.3 percent from the floor (27-of-67), making 9-of-25 3-pointers and 23-of-28 free throws. They turned in a strong effort defensively, limiting Fairmont State to just 23.8 percent from the floor (15-of-63), including 3-of-17 on 3-pointers. The Falcons made 17-of-22 free throws. Edinboro held a 51-41 edge on the glass and committed 10 turnovers while forcing 18. That led to a 19-5 advantage in points off turnovers.

A junior guard, Jahn made 11-of-17 field goals, including 5-of-8 3-pointers, and was a perfect 7-for-7 at the line for her career-best 34 points. She added seven rebounds. In the process, she went over 800 points in her career and moved into sixth place in career 3-pointers made with 158.
Rosten and Walton were also in double figures with 10 points apiece. Rosten fell one rebound shy of her fourth double-double of the season, pulling down nine rebounds, while matching her career high with six blocked shots. Walton had five steals.

Cheniya Sharpe led all rebounders with 15 boards, one shy of her career high set last year in a PSAC playoff win over Seton Hill. The junior forward had seven on the offensive end, and scored nine points in 20 minutes.

Sierra Kotchman and Ozge Yarga led Fairmont State with 10 points apiece.

Edinboro will now break for the holidays before returning to action on Saturday, December 30 with a PSAC West showdown against nationally-ranked California(Pa.).  The Vulcans were ranked 11th in last week's WBCA rankings and 25th in the D2SIDA poll.
