The win was revenge for a Fighting Scots team that saw their 16-game winning streak snapped in the first meeting earlier in the season. With the victory, the Fighting Scots improved to 20-7 overall and 16-5 in the PSAC West. The Rock dropped their eighth straight game, to fall to 9-18 on the year and 6-15 in conference action.

The 14 points were the fewest allowed by the Fighting Scots in first half this season.
 
Slippery Rock actually held the lead in the early going, leading 5-4 just over three minutes into the contest, but a 19-4 run to end the opening period put The Rock down big. Katie Fischer was responsible for 12 point during the stretch, connecting on three 3-pointers and converting an old-fashioned three-point play.
 
The second quarter was more of the same as Edinboro opened the period on a 17-0 run to take a 36-9 lead with 4:16 remaining in the half. The Rock finally got on the scoreboard in the second quarter on a pair of free throws before another Edinboro run, this time an 11-0 stretch, pushed the lead over 30 points at 47-11.
 
The Fighting Scots would never lead by less than 30 points the rest of the way, growing the lead to as large as 46 points with 7:57 remaining in the fourth quarter.
 
Edinboro held The Rock to just 24.6 percent (14-of-57) shooting from the floor, including going 1-for-9 from beyond the arc. Slippery Rock also turned the ball over 23 times, leading to 27 points for the Fighting Scots. The Fighting Scots finished the contest shooting 45.6 percent (31-of-68) from the floor and connecting on 13-of-29 3-pointers. Edinboro overcame a 45-39 rebounding deficit.
 
Fischer was nearly unstoppable for the Fighting Scots, dropping in 26 points on 8-of-12 shooting, including making 5-of-7 3-pointers to move into 11^th all-time with 116 career 3-pointers. She also dished out eight assists, pulled down three rebounds and turned the ball over just once. Jontay Walton turned in an impressive performance off the bench, totaling 18 points, two blocks and two steals in 20 minutes before fouling out late.
 
Michelle Jahn added 15 points and a team-high three steals. Ciara Rosten was the final Fighting Scot in double figures, finishing with ten points. Rosten also pulled down five boards and swatted away a career-high six shots. Cheniya Sharpe turned in a solid performance in her first start of the season in place of the injured Nicole Johnson. Sharpe finished with six points, a team-high six rebounds and grabbed a pair of steals.
 
Lindsey Jahn turned in a gritty 14 minutes off the bench, grabbing five rebounds and getting to line a pair of times, finishing 4-for-4 from the charity stripe. 
 
The Rock was led by LeeAnn Gibson's 11 points off the bench. C.C. Dixon was the only other Rock scorer to finish in double figures, totaling 11 points.
