Fighting Scots Ride Backcourt Tandem to 70-66 Win at Notre Dame(Oh.)

SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio – The Edinboro men's basketball team survived a late comeback by Notre Dame(Oh.) and rode the backcourt tandem of Anthony Coleman and Jaryn Simpson to a 70-66 win on Monday night. The Fighting Scots are now 3-0 while Notre Dame, the Mountain East Conference champions last year, fell to 0-3.

Coleman, a redshirt senior guard who calls Cleveland home, scored a season-high 28 points and pulled down nine rebounds. He made 12-of-20 field goals, including 2-of-5 3-pointers, and was 2-of-2 at the line. He added five steals.

Simpson added his seventh career double-double, as the 6'3" junior scored 14 points and pulled down 12 rebounds. He added four assists and made a pair of key free throws late in the game.

Despite suffering an off shooting night, Trey Staunch finished with eight points and six rebounds. Daylon Harris and Turner Kurt each scored just four points, but made a pair of big free throws down the stretch.

Edinboro shot 41.3 percent from the floor (26-of-63) and made 8-of-22 3-pointers, along with 10-of-16 free throws. The Falcons, meanwhile, finished at 38.2 percent from the floor (26-of-68) after shooting 30.3 percent in the first half. They were just 5-of-33 from beyond the arc while shooting 9-of-13 from the line.

The Fighting Scots never trailed by more than four points and gained the lead for good at 11-10 with 14:32 left in the first half on a layup by Staunch. Edinboro would build its first double-digit lead at 27-17 on a jumper by Coleman with 6:10 left in the half.

But every time Edinboro built a lead, Notre Dame would come charging back. The Falcons scored the next seven points to pull to 27-24. The Fighting Scots  would score the final six points of the half on a free throw and 3-pointer by Simpson and steal and dunk by Coleman for a 33-24 lead at intermission.

The lead would again reach double digits early in the second half, but the Falcons closed to within four. A 10-2 run gave Edinboro its largest lead of the night at 55-41. Coleman scored five in the run and Alex Jay closed the stretch with a 3-pointer.

Notre Dame would chip away at the lead, cutting a 13-point deficit at 58-45 to just three at 62-59 with  2:42 left to play. A Kurt layup with just under a minute to play made it 64-60, but ND's Larenz Thurman made a pair of free throws.  Kurt added a pair from the charity stripe with 31 seconds to play to make it 66-62, but Levi Frankland's tip-in made it a two-point game again at 66-64 with 15 seconds to play. Simpson built the margin back to four at 68-64 with 12 seconds left.  Frankland's layup made it a two-point game again, but Harris clinched the win with a pair of free throws with a second remaining.

Frankland had 19 points and nine rebounds to lead Notre Dame, with Thurman adding 17 points.

Edinboro is back in action this weekend with a pair of PSAC crossover contests. On Saturday, November 23 the Scots host Shepherd. The next day Shippensburg visits McComb Fieldhouse.
