GREENSBURG, Pa. - Spencer Casson, Nathan Davis, Trevor Blondin, and Trevor Lecuona all scored in double-figures, but it wasn't enough as Edinboro University held off the Griffins, 78-70, in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference men's basketball action on Wednesday evening inside the Katherine Mabis McKenna Center.

Seton Hill slips to to 8-15 overall and 5-13 in PSAC play. Edinboro improves to 14-7 overall and 11-6 in the conference.

Trailing by as many as 15 in the first half (32-17, 3:59), the Griffins battled back to cut the seven (37-30) before the break. Edinboro opened the second half with a three by Mike Beck, but a layup by Tyler Bowling sparked a 15-7 run over the next seven minutes that saw the Griffins pull to within just two, 47-45, with 12:37 remaining. After the two teams misfired on possessions, Anthony Coleman's two free-throws pushed the SHU deficit back out to four, 49-45, with 11:13 on the clock. Trevor Blondin responded with a bucket, but that was met by a Keshawn Liggins jumper on the other end to keep the lead Fighting Scots lead at four, 51-47, with 10:48 remaining. Trevor Lecuona's triple on the next possession cut the lead the one, 51-50, but Edinboro would respond with a 10-0 run over the next two minutes to push the lead back out to double-digits, 61-50.  Seton Hill would cut the lead to four, 74-70, with 21 seconds remaining in the game, but an intentional foul called on the Griffins would lead to Edinboro receiving two free-throws and the ball. The Fighting Scots would make those free-throws and two more on their way to the 78-70 win.
