Seton Hill returned home on Saturday afternoon as they hosted Edinboro in a PSAC West contest.  The Griffins led for 31:47 in the contest but the Fighting Scots outscored the Griffins 30-20 in the fourth and final quarter to rally for a 69-64 victory.  Seton Hill falls to 9-4 overall and 3-3 in PSAC play while the Scots improve to 9-2 overall and 5-1 in PSAC play.

After trailing 4-2 early in the contest, the Griffins went on an 11-0 run over a four minute stretch to take a 13-4 lead midway thru the quarter.  Megan Marecic scored seven of the eleven points during the run.  The Scots ended the run with a three pointer but a tip in from Katie Nolan and a three point play from Cheyenne Trest gave SHU an 18-7 lead late in the quarter.  Edinboro hit one of two free throws to close out the scoring in the quarter and SHU led 18-8 after one period of action. 

Edinboro fought back in the second quarter and got to within three at 23-20 with 4:46 to go in the half.  Madelyn Fischer answered with a three pointer to put SHU back in front by six.  Tiana Stewart's three pointer extended the lead to eight points at 34-26 late in the half.  The Griffins took that 34-26 lead into the halftime break. 

The third quarter was where the game started to slip away from the Griffins.  They were able to build their lead to eleven twice on three pointers from Lexi Civittolo and Courtney Cecere but a late 5-0 run by the Scots cut the Griffins lead to five at 44-39 heading to the fourth quarter.  The Griffins were not able to extend their lead in the quarter despite holding the Scots to shooting just 4-21 from the floor.  SHU shot the same 4-21 from the floor in the quarter which did not allow them to push the lead into double digits. 

Edinboro opened the scoring in the fourth quarter but two free throws from Cecere pushed the lead back to five just under a minute into the quarter.  After the Scots trimmed the lead to one, Trest hit a three to give SHU a 49-45 lead with 7:09 to play.  Marecic answered a three pointer from Edinboro with one of her own that put SHU back in front 54-53 midway thru the quarter.  That would be the last lead the Griffins would hold.  Over the next 2:45 the Scots went on an 8-0 run to take a 61-54 lead with 2:23 to play.  Another three from Marecic cut the lead to five at 64-59 with 50 seconds to play.  Edinboro went 5-6 from the line down the stretch to put the game away. 

Neither team shot great from the floor in the contest but a 10-14 fourth quarter helped the Scots to a 36% shooting percentage in the game.  SHU finished at 30% in the contest.  The Griffins were able to outrebound the Scots by a 52-46 margin.

Megan Marecic posted her fourth straight double double with 24 points and a career high 15 rebounds.  Over her last three games, Megan is averaging 22 points and 13.3 rebounds per game.  Courtney Cecere just missed a double double.  She finished the game with 10 points and 9 rebounds.  Cheyenne Trest also reached double figures with 10 points.  Katie Nolan pulled down 11 rebounds to go with 6 points. 

The Griffins will continue PSAC West play on Wednesday when they travel to Clarion for a 5:30 PM tipoff.
