Jordan Price had his best scoring performance as an Explorer yet against the Terriers, going for 30 points on 10-17 shooting in leading La Salle to a 73-60 win over St. Francis. The Decatur, Georgia native was averaging just under 16 ppg coming into the contest. Price was a perfect 6-6 from the free throw line and nailed 4 of the 7 three pointers he attempted. He also grabbed 6 rebounds and had 7 assists.
Brent Jones led the way for the Terriers, scoring 13 points on the night. Although they came up short, St. Francis put up a valiant effort, including cutting the late lead to just four points before a 13-3 run sealed the victory for La Salle.
Price wasn't the only Explorer to fill up the stat sheet. Jerrell Wright had 19 points on 8-18 shooting and was one rebound shy of his third double double of the season. Steve Zack had his best offensive game of the season, scoring 14 points on 5-8 shooting and grabbing 12 rebounds. The trio of Price, Wright, and Zack combined for 63 of the Explorers' 73 total points.
The 73 scored by La Salle is their most points of the season so far. They averaged just under 59 ppg coming into tonight's contest. While their offense took a few games to break out, the Explorer defense has been terrific. Their opponents have averaged just over 53 ppg before tonight, and Giannini's crew once again held down the fort on defense.
The win tonight is the fourth in a row for La Salle, and brings their record to 4-0 on the season.
