PROVIDENCE - With sickness running through his roster, Ed Cooley knew he needed a pick-me-up from someone in Saturday’s game against Bryant and he found one in freshman Drew Edwards.
After falling behind by 11 points in the first half and trailing by four at the break, the Friars rallied in the second half thanks to 17 points by Edwards and beat Bryant, 74-67.
