Smith Sets Record in Win Over Saint Joseph's

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Reyne Smith broke the CofC single game three-point record as the Charleston Cougars defeated Saint Joseph's 89-82 on Thursday night at TD Arena.

Ben Burnham and Kobe Rodgers provided an offensive spark early, scoring seven and six points respectively within the first four minutes of the game.

The Cougars went on a 17-2 run while the Hawks struggled from the field, going nearly five minutes without a basket to give Charleston a 25-10 edge with 10 minutes remaining in the first half.

St. Joe's responded to go on a 7-0 run of their own until a Burnham three snapped the streak. Back-to-back Smith threes helped send the Cougars to the locker room up 41-30. Burnham ended the frame with ten points and six rebounds while Smith had 14 points.

Smith scored three more treys out of the locker room to help Charleston stay in front of the Hawks. St. Joe's came within two of the Cougars before an Ante Brzovic floater and Frankie Policelli triple forced a St. Joe's timeout with the Cougars up 63-56.

Smith continued to drain the shot from deep, sinking his ninth three of the night to set a new program single-game record.

The Cougars ended the game going 9-for-11 from the field to secure the victory to enter the holiday break.
