Wareham scored 24 points and connected on 6-of-8 three-point field goals, both career-highs. The six shots from distance also ties the mark of second most in IUP history for three-pointers made in a game.

Sophomore guard Megan Smith (Blain, Pa./West Perry) also scored 14 points and pulled down five rebounds. Leslie Stapleton (Indiana, Pa. /Indiana) scored 10 points and in the process knocked down her 200th career three-pointer as a Crimson Hawk.

IUP trailed 30-23 with 3:22 left in the second quarter, before Wareham and freshman guard Carolyn Appleby (Greensburg, Pa. /Greensburg Central Catholic) hit back-to-back-to-back three-pointers to extend the Crimson Hawks' 10-0 run. Edinboro scored just before the buzzer, as IUP went into the halftime leading, 33-32.

Out of the locker room, IUP continued on to a 12-0 run to go up 45-32. The Crimson Hawks defense held Edinboro scoreless for the first 3:21 of the second half. From then on, the Crimson Hawks never let up, outscoring Edinboro 40-28 in the second half.
