D'Jhai Patterson-Ricks scored on the last play of the quarter and the Golden Griffins pulled as close as one point early in the second frame.
The Bobcats extended the lead back to seven points in the second quarter before a Patterson-Ricks triple with 1:26 on the clock cut the lead to two at the half.
Canisius took the lead in the third quarter thanks to a 12-2 run, capped by a Danielle Sanderlin layup with 7:06 to play.
Edwards' third three-pointer ended the run and tied the game at 34 at the 6:56 mark.
After the teams exchanged leads, the Bobcats again jumped ahead in the latter stages of the quarter and yet another Edwards three made it 45-41 with 1:55 to play in the third.
The Bobcats held Canisius without a field goal for a stretch of 6:02 spanning from 2:24 of the third to 6:22 of the fourth.
Down the stretch in the fourth quarter, Canisius was able to pull within four on a triple by Timbers with 1:29 to play, but the Bobcats would not allow a field goal for the rest of the game.
