THE EDWARDS GAME: CWRU Guard Scores UAA-Record 54 Points in Win over Rochester

In what will go down in the books as one of the great individual performances in the history of University Athletic Association basketball, graduate student guard Ethan Edwards scored a program and conference record 54 points to lead the Spartans to a 110-98 win over the University of Rochester at Horsburgh Gymnasium in Cleveland on Sunday.

The 54 points are the most by an individual in an NCAA game (Division I, II, or III) this season. It broke the previous CWRU and UAA record of 51 points in a game, set by Sam Trunley last season against Carnegie Mellon. He also set a conference and program record with 12 made three-pointers and 16 made field goals in the game. In addition, Edwards surpassed the 1,000-point milestone for his career after needing 47 points to reach the mark entering the contest.

The Spartans improved to 11-13 with the win, including a 3-10 mark in UAA play. The Yellowjackets dropped to 11-13 overall with a 4-9 conference mark.
