GREENSBURG - Cheyenne Trest poured in a season-high 33 points, and Katie Nolan grabbed a career-high 20 rebounds as the Seton Hill University women's basketball team punched their ticket to the 2019-20 PSAC Basketball Tournament with a 72-68 over Edinboro University on Saturday afternoon inside the McKenna Center.
// NOTABLES
• Seton Hill ends the 2019-20 regular season with a record of 14-14 overall, 8-14 in the PSAC.
• Trest's 33 points was only eclipsed by her 35 point performance against Slippery Rock in 2017.
• Edinboro bested SHU in Points Off Turnovers (4-2), Second Chance Points (12-10), Bench Points (17-15), and Points In The Paint (34-30).
// HOW IT HAPPENED
• Edinboro would hold a lead for nearly three quarters of play before a 10-0 run late in the third quarter gave Seton Hill their first lead since the beginning of the first quarter. Lexi Civittolo's layup with 2:42 remaining in the third started off the run. Two free-throws by Cheyenne Trest made it 48-46, and finally a Tiana Stewart three gave SHU a 49-48 lead. SHU capped off the run with back-to-back buckets by Trest to take a 52-48 lead with just under a minute to go in the third. Edinboro would retake the lead, 54-53, with 7:56 remaining in the fourth, but a three from Trest on the other end regained the lead for good and Seton Hill would go on to secure the 72-68 win.
