Men's Basketball Matches Last Year's Win Total with 87-63 at California(Pa.)

CALIFORNIA, Pa. – Keshawn Liggins continued his outstanding season with 32 points and 15 rebounds to lead Edinboro to an 87-63 win at California(Pa.) on Saturday afternoon.  Edinboro improved to 8-2 overall with their fourth straight win, matching last year's win total when the Fighting Scots finished at 8-18. They are now 5-1 in PSAC action while opening PSAC West play. California(Pa.) fell to 6-6 and 2-4, respectively.

Liggins, a 6'5" senior who played a year ago at Idaho State, recorded his fourth 30-point game of the season and had his seventh double-double. The 15 rebounds are a career-high. He made 12-of-23 field goals, including 3-of-4 3-pointers, and was 5-for-5 at the line. He added three assists.

Edinboro used an early 16-2 run to effectively take control of the contest. The Vulcans led for just 12 seconds and held their lone lead of the game at 3-2, but Edinboro ran off eight points in a row thanks to back-to-back 3-pointers by Mason and Mike Beck, and a Liggins' layup. That gave the Fighting Scots a 10-3 advantage. After a Cal basket Edinboro ran off eight more points, all by Mason, for an 18-5 lead with 13:03 left in the first half.

The Vulcans would narrow the deficit to six points on several occasions, the last at 39-33 with 2:32 to play. Edinboro closed out the half with another 8-0 run. Alex Jay started it with a 3-pointer, followed by a pair of Liggins' free throws, and Jay capped it with another trifecta for a 47-33 lead at the half.

Cal scored the opening basket of the second half, but that was as close as the game would get. Leading 51-36, Edinboro responded with a 10-2 burst, as Liggins accounted for all 10 points. He scored 12 of Edinboro's first 14 points in the half.

Edinboro would lead by as many as 30 points in the game at 81-51, as head coach Pat Cleary was able to substitute liberally.

After scoring a career-low point in the last game vs. Charleston(WV), Mason enjoyed a big effort with 19 points, eight rebounds, and six assists. He scored 16 points in the first half. Edinboro's third all-time leading scorer made 7-of-11 field goals, including 4-of-7 3-pointers.

Anthony Coleman was also in double figures with 11 points. Jack Frank pulled down a career-high 13 rebounds as Edinboro ruled the glass, 53-39. Jay added eight points off the bench, with Trey Staunch finishing with six points.

Edinboro shot 46.6 percent from the floor (34-of-73), while holding Cal to 38.5 percent (25-of-65). The Vulcans came in averaging 88.3 ppg., second in the PSAC. Edinboro made 11-of-20 3-pointers compared to Cal's 6-of-24. The Fighting Scots made 8-of-14 free throws while Cal was 7-of-19.
