Edinboro Scores Final 11 Points to Defeat Kutztown, 69-62

KUTZTOWN, Pa. – The Edinboro women's basketball team ran off the final 11 points of the game to rally for a 69-62 win at Kutztown on Saturday evening at Keystone Arena. The Fighting Scots earned a split of their two-game eastern swing while in the midst of a five-game road trip. They improved to 4-5 and are 2-3 in PSAC play. Kutztown had its four-game winning streak snapped, all at home, while falling to 6-5 and 3-2, respectively.

Edinboro entered the fourth quarter with a narrow one-point lead at 47-46. The Golden Bears would score four points in a row, the last two on a layup by Gabbi Wright with 2:40 remaining, to go ahead 62-58. It would be the last points of the game for Kutztown.

Edinboro began its comeback as Michaela Barnes made one of two free throws. Bridgette Shaffer's third 3-pointer of the game tied the score at 62-62 with 1:37 left, and Monica Brown followed with her fourth trifecta to give Edinboro the lead for good at 65-62 with 40 seconds left.

After a Kutztown turnover, Barnes made two more free throws with 28 seconds to play. Kutztown would miss a three on its next possession, and Monica Brown would cap the 11-0 run with a pair of free throws with 19 seconds left.

Brown would lead five players in double figures with 16 points, one shy of her career high. The sophomore swingman made 4-of-8 shots, all 3-pointers, and was 4-of-6 at the line, while adding three steals.

Barnes finished with 14 points despite battling foul trouble in the second half. Freshmen Rana Elhusseini and Bella Burrelli contributed 12 points apiece. Burrelli came off the bench to pull down a team-high nine rebounds and block four shots. Shaffer made 3-of-4 three's and finished with 11 points.

Kutztown was led by Karen Lapkiewicz' 12 points. Brianna Tarabocchia had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds, and Zoe Zerman also had 10 points. Edinboro held Rylee Derr, Kutztown's leading scorer at 16.3 ppg. coming in, to 2-of-15 shooting and four points.
Edinboro shot 51.1 percent from the floor (23-of-45), while making 8-of-14 3-pointers and 15-of-24 free throws.  Kutztown shot just 33.3 percent (22-of-66), and was 5-of-29 on  3-pointers. The Golden Bears were a perfect 13-of-13 at the line.  

The Golden Bears would dominate the lass, 44-26, with 22 offensive boards. That led to a 16-0 advantage in second chance points.  Edinboro committed 14 turnovers compared to 17 for Kutztown.

Kutztown would jump out to a 9-0 lead as the Fighting Scots would not score until 4:07 remained in the opening quarter on a Bella Burrelli layup. The Golden Bears would build their lead to 14-2 before Edinboro clawed back to within 22-14 after one period. Annie Whaley and Zermin had eight points apiece for Kutztown.

A Sydney Pierson layup to open the second quarter built Edinboro's deficit back up to 10 points. The Fighting Scots responded with a 16-3 run fueled by three 3-pointers by Monica Brown. Her third three knotted the game at 27-27, and the sophomore followed with one of two free throws to give the Fighting Scots their first lead at 28-27. A Michaela Barnes' layup capped the run.

A Kutztown layup made it 30-29, but the Fighting Scots scored the next seven points for their biggest lead of the half at 37-29. Shaffer hit her second three of the half, Barnes scored on a layup, and Elhusseini made a pair of free throws. The half would end at 37-31 following a pair of Pierson free throws.
