Five-Game Winning Streak Snapped on Last-Second Shot by Kutztown, 91-89

Jaymon Mason Leads Fighting Scots with 33 Points

EDINBORO, Pa. – After rallying from an 11-point deficit midway through the second half, the Edinboro men's basketball team saw Kutztown's Ethan Ridgeway knock down the game winning basket with 0.8 seconds remaining as the Golden Bears snapped Edinboro's five-game winning streak, 91-89, at McComb Fieldhouse.

Two of the top teams in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference slugged it out for 40 minutes, with Edinboro ultimately falling to 9-3 overall and 6-2 in the PSAC West. Kutztown improved to 10-2 overall and is 6-2 in the PSAC East.

The contest featured 12 ties and 12 lead changes. Neither team led by more than six points in the first 30 minutes. The Golden Bears broke a 57-57 tie with an 18-7 run to go on top 75-64 with 9:02 left in the game. The Fighting Scots answered with the next 11 points to knot the game at 75-75 with 5:15 to play.

Jaymon Mason started the run with a 3-pointer, followed by a Jaryn Simpson layup. Mason's jumper in the paint pulled the Scots to within 75-71. After a Kutztown miss, Keshawn Liggins scored off an offensive rebound, and another Kutztown miss led to a pair of Mason free throws and a 75-all tie.

After that, the game featured three ties and four lead changes. With Kutztown leading 80-78 with 3:14 to play, Edinboro took its first lead since early in the second half on a pair of Liggins' jumpers. He was fouled on the second and converted on the 3-point play for an 83-80 lead with 1:50 to play.

The lead lasted just five seconds as Max Wagner's 3-point play knotted the game at 83-83. Another Liggins jumper game Edinboro an 85-83 advantage before Ridgeway's drive and free throw made it 86-85 with 1:13 left.

Anthony Coleman gave the lead back to the Scots on a baseline drive at 87-86 with 48 seconds remaining. Four seconds later, Ridgeway beat the Scots down the court for a layup and an 88-87 lead. Following a Boro miss, Ridgeway made one-of-two free throws.

Mason came down and tied the score at 89-89 with 15 seconds to play on a 12-foot jumper in the paint. Following a KU timeout, Ridgeway hit a long jumper from the right win just inside the 3-point arc for the game-winning basket with 0.8 remaining.
