Trunley set the school and conference single-game records with a 51-point effort in a 110-104 win at Carnegie Mellon University in the team's season finale on Saturday. Trunley played all but 42 seconds in the final game of his collegiate career and connected on 15-of-21 shots overall, including seven-of-11 three-point tries, and made 14-of-16 free throw attempts. He added nine rebounds, five assists, and a block in the game. Entering the game needing just nine points to surpass former Spartan Anthony Mazzeo's program record of 545 points in a season, Trunley left no doubt, tying the record with a layup at the 7:03 mark in the first half and surpassing the mark with a free throw with 3:41 left in the first stanza. He surpassed 20 points for the game with under a minute left in the first half, his 17th effort of 20 or more points this year, and a three with 10:02 to play in the game pushed him over 30 points for the fourth time this season. With 5:06 remaining in the game, Trunley connected on his seventh and final three of the contest to give him 46 points for the day, surpassing his own school record of 45 points set earlier this year against SUNY Brockport. He went on to make five of seven free throws down the stretch to become the first Spartan to score over 50 points in a game. Not only were the 51 points a program record, but it also marked the most points ever scored by a player in a University Athletic Association game, breaking the previous record of 49 set by the University of Chicago's Matt Johnson against Emory in 2012. It was the fourth-most points scored in a game by a Division III player this season. Trunley finished the season ranked seventh in Division III with 23.5 points per game while adding 5.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.
