After a relatively tight opening 10 minutes of the contest, the Warriors rallied for an 11-2 run in a span of five minutes to take command of the game. After a Shamir Johnson three-pointer to begin the run, Trey Staunch netted the lone bucket for Edinboro during the stretch with 6:47 on the clock. The Warriors then rattled off eight straight points on three-pointers from Jones and Rodriguez and a bucket in the paint by Weiss, as they opened a 31-17 advantage with 3:26 left in the half.

Edinboro responded with eight of the game's next 11 points, but ESU was able to finish out the half with the final two baskets from Weiss and Mike Millsip to take a 38-25 lead into the break.

ESU came out of the intermission firing, as the Warriors registered 21 points in the opening eight minutes of play. At the 15:02 mark, the Warriors began what would become a 12-2 run that pushed them in front by 20-plus points for the first time on the night.

After back-to-back buckets by Carlos Pepin and Weiss to start the rally, Rodriguez netted the final eight points of the run, including a pair of three-pointers, as the Warriors extended their lead to 59-35 with 12:04 showing on the clock.

ESU built its advantage to 30 points with 3:35 remaining, and eventually closed out the 85-51 victory to push its win streak to three straight.
