Clement sets single-game scoring record
Grinnell guard Jeff Clement set the D-III scoring record with 77
points Feb. 18 in Grinnell's 149-144 win against Illinois College.
Clement shot 26-for-68 from the floor and 19-for-52 from 3-point
range, breaking his own record of 17 3-pointers in a game set
earlier this season.
The previous record was 69 points by Steve Diekmann, also of
Grinnell, in 1994.
Last Saturday, Grinnell had broken the record for most players
making a 3-pointer when 13 players hit from downtown in a 104-73
win against Monmouth. The Pioneers broke the previous record, 11,
set by St. Mary's (Md.) against Bard in 1994.
