Grinnell's Taylor scores 109 points
Grinnell College's Jack Taylor scored 109 points, the third-highest total in NCAA history regardless of divisions, in a 173-123 victory over Crossroads on Sunday in Grinnell, Iowa.
Taylor, who set the all-divisions record last season when he scored 138 points in a game, accomplished his feat on Sunday in just 29 minutes of court time for Division III Grinnell.
He scored 53 points in the first 10 minutes of the second half.
Taylor was 35-of-70 from the field, including a 24-of-48 on 3-pointers. He also hit 15-of-17 free throws.
He fell four points shy of the second-highest total, achieved by Rio Grande's Clarence "Bevo" Francis in 1954 when Francis scored 113 points.
"Just like last year (the 138-point game), I couldn't have done this without my teammates," said Taylor. "I give so much credit to them - this truly was a team effort. I'm thankful for the program the people I have playing around me."
Taylor, a 5-foot-10 junior, had scored 71 points in Grinnell's 144-99 victory over Finlandia University in the season opener on Friday.
