In his 50th career appearance and 38th start for the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor Men鈥檚 Basketball team, senior guard Eli Beard eclipsed the 1,000 career points milestone in a home game against arch-rivals Hardin-Simmons University.
While the Cru lost a 72-71 nailbiter in the final seconds to the Cowboys, Beard delivered another excellent performance scoring 17 points on 6-13 shooting from the field and 4-8 shooting from behind the arc to reach 1,001 career points as a Crusader.
These efficient and high scoring performances have become a regular from the Sandy Hook native, who is averaging 21.7 points per game on 48/40/87 shooting splits, placing him in the top 30 leading scorers in NCAA Division III and top 40 in 3-point percentage.
Beard hoped to lead the Cru to their fourth ASC Champiosnhip and cement himself further in the 无码流出 record books as the Cru travel to Marshall for the Conference Championship Tournament from Feb. 25 to March 1.
