EDINBORO, Pa. – Lorenzo Collier and the Mercyhurst men's basketball team may have spoiled the party a bit with a 92-84 win at Edinboro on Saturday, but the day still belonged to Edinboro's Jaymon Mason. The redshirt senior guard set the school record for career points as he finished with 25 points to eclipse his father Tyrone Mason's total of 1,954 points. Jaymon now has 1,967 points.

The loss drops Edinboro to 16-10 overall and 13-9 in the PSAC West. The Fighting Scots are the number four seed and will host fifth seed Pitt-Johnstown in the first round of the PSAC Tournament on Monday, February 26. Mercyhurst, who will enter as the number six seed, is 13-13 overall and 10-12 in conference play.

Mason entered Saturday's contest need 13 points to break his father's standard. He scored 10 points in the first half, then pulled to within a point of the record with a free throw at the 19:04 mark. He would come down on the next possession and drain a 3-pointer from the top of the key, probably the signature shot of his career, to become the new record-holder with 1,956 points. Mason is believed to be the first person in Division II history to break his father's record for career points.

Mason ended the game with 25 points, making 8-of-14 field goals, including 6-of-10 three's, plus 3-of-4 free throws.

Keshawn Liggins, along with Mason one of four seniors recognized in pre-game ceremonies on Senior Day, recorded his seventh 30-point game of the season and 15th double-double. The 6'5" senior totaled 30 points (10-of-19 FGs, 2-of-5 3's, 8-of-8 FTs) along with 10 rebounds. That gives him 622 points this season, which ranks fourth in a season.

Unfortunately, Mercyhurst's Collier was near unstoppable, as the senior guard dropped in 39 points, making 11-of-18 field goals, including 3-of-7 3-pointers, and 14-of-14 free throws. He scored 30 of his points in the second half.

Patrick Smith added 19 points for the Lakers, while Malcolm Walters contributed 16 markers. Liggins and Mason were the lone double-figure scorers for Edinboro, with Trey Staunch adding nine points for Edinboro.

Mercyhurst came out red hot in the game, just as they did in the first half of the first meeting in Erie. Only this time, the Lakers did not cool off in the second half, ending the game at 55.4 percent (31-of-56) while scoring a season-high 92 points. They made 12-of-22 3-pointers and went 18-of-22 at the line. Edinboro enjoyed a hot second half while ending the day at 44.3 percent (27-of-61). The Fighting Scots made 11-of-27 3-pointers and were 19-of-20 at the line.

Edinboro held a 33-28 rebounding advantage, but the Fighting Scots were guilty of 13 turnovers compared to 10 for Mercyhurst.
