Emory's last four season finales
have been against Case Western Reserve. In all four games,
Fawsett has been the leading scorer for the Eagles. In those
games, he scored 21, 27, and 19 points, respectively.
Fawsett's 35 points today is a school
record for most points in a season finale, most points in
a home finale and most points in a senior finale.
David Schaaf closed out his Emory
career on Feb. 24, 2001, at Carnegie Mellon (Pa.) with 30
points, 11 rebounds, six blocks, three steals and three assists
in 40 minutes. That was the previous Emory record for points
in a season finale and senior finale. The Emory home finale
record was 29 points by Terry Gorsuch on Feb. 17, 1991, against
Washington (Mo.).
The game also was the senior finale
for guard Rashawn Allen, who scored nine points and dished
out five assists. Allen finishes his career seventh on the
school's all-time list for career points and in the top three
for career three-point field goals, career free throws, career
assists, and career steals.
Fawsett ends his four years as the
second-leading career scorer in school history. He also is
in the top five in the career categories of field goal percentage,
free throws made, rebounds, blocks and games started.
Jeff Hall scored 18 points, shooting
4-for-8 from three-point range. He ends the season with 91
three-point field goals, shattering the school record of 78
set by Robert Spivey in the 2000-01 season.
Spiros Ferderigos, who only played
five minutes in the first half due to foul trouble, ended
up with 12 points, nine rebounds, five assists in 20 minutes.
He scored 298 points this season, third highest in school
history by a freshman.
Alex Ford-Carther came off the bench
to contribute nine points and four rebounds, and fellow reserve
Barry Corrado added seven points and nine rebounds.
The win is the 15th of the season
for Emory, its highest win total since the 1989-90 season
when it had a 25-4 record. Overall, the 15 wins ties for the
third highest total ever by the Eagles.
Emory's 102 points today is a season
high. Its last 100-point game also was against Case Reserve
back on Jan. 10 of last season. For the season, Emory averaged
79.7 points per game on offense, seventh highest in school
history and the second highest in the last 15 seasons.
(Feb. 20) Emory University was again
thwarted in its bid for victory No. 15, falling 84-62 at New
York University.

in 19 minutes.

with 13 minutes left in the game before the home team pulled
off its rally.

15th of the season, the most since the 1989-90 season when
Emory had 25 victories.

three double overtimes. The last time there was a double overtime
was February 3rd, 1995, against Brandeis (Mass.).
