EDINBORO, Pa. -- The Rock dropped an 80-62 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference-Western Division decision Wednesday night at Edinboro and, as a result, fell into fifth place in the division standings.

The significance of that: SRU must finish in the top four in the division to earn its first PSAC playoff berth since 1999-2000.

Wednesday's loss dropped SRU's overall record to 5-17 and its division mark to 3-5, one game behind fourth-place Clarion.

Clarion, which began the night tied with SRU for fourth place, took over sole possession of the spot with a win Wednesday night over visiting Indiana (Pa.)..

Edinboro improved its record to 17-5 overall, 7-1 in PSAC-West action.

The winning effort was paced by Ryan McLemore's "triple double" of 13 points, 12 blocked shots and 11 rebounds. His blocks total set a new PSAC record.

Junior wing player Jamar Scales scored a team-high 10 points for SRU, while sophomore guard Rashiid Coleman and freshman post player Cory Somerville each grabbed six rebounds.

SRU never led in the game and trailed by 11 points (39-28) at halftime. Edinboro's lead was at least 10 points throughout the final 20 minutes and included a pair of 25-point advantages.

The Rock experienced an icy-cold shooting night all around Wednesday night. SRU made only 37.1% (26 of 70) shots from the field, 42.9% (3 of 7) from the foul line and 46.7% (7 of 15) from the foul line.

Edinboro made 46.9% (30 of 64) of its shots from the field, a frigid 27.8% (5 of 18) from 3-point range and 60% (15 of 25) from the foul line. The Fighting Scots also held a 51-35 rebounding advantage.
