CLEVELAND, Ohio – Turnovers and a hot-shooting Cleveland State team did the Edinboro men's basketball team in on Saturday afternoon as the Vikings handed Edinboro a 79-54 defeat. The game was played at CSU's Wolstein Center in front of 3,533 fans.

The Fighting Scots only committed 14 turnovers compared to 9 for Cleveland State, but the Vikings held a 20-3 advantage in points off turnovers.  Edinboro held a 37-35 edge on the glass.

The redshirt senior, who opened the season with a 27-point effort in Friday night's win over Thiel, had a game-high 17 points, making 6-of-8 free throws. Trey Staunch added 13 points (5-of-9 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs) and a team-high 6 rebounds. Jaryn Simpson totaled 11 points, making 8-of-8 free throws. Alex jay matched Staunch with 6 rebounds.

Deante Johnson led four Vikings in double digits with 13 points, adding 7 rebounds. Franklyn Penn Jr. had 12 points and a team-high 8 rebounds, with Tre Gomillion and Torrey Pattons contributing 11 points apiece.
