Emory freshman Jake Davis scored a team-high 14 points and the Eagles had seven players score in double figures in a 95-71 win over Huntingdon College on Sunday.  Emory snapped a two-game losing streak with the victory and upped its overall record to 8-2 while the Hawks slipped to 4-8.

Emory ended the game hitting 52.4 percent (33-of-63) of its field goal attempts while holding Huntingdon to 36.5 percent (23-of-63).  Though the Eagles were outrebounded by a 38-35 margin, they totaled 29 points off of 21 Huntingdon turnovers.  Emory was sharp from three-point range, knocking down a season-high 58.8 percent (10-of-17) from beyond the arc with eight players picking up at least one triple.  The Eagles' three-point percentage effort not only was a season high, but tied the fourth-highest single-game mark in school history.

Sophomore Alex Greven picked up 12 points and junior Austin Claunch nine points in helping Emory to a 46-34 advantage at halftime. Huntingdon trailed by just four points, 34-30, following a three pointer by Jason Varney with 2:55 left in the stanza but the Eagles closed out the half with a 12-4 spurt, with Greven picking up six points in that stretch, en route to building the dozen-point cushion.

After Huntingdon cut the deficit to 11 points early in the second half, Emory exploded for a 20-4 blitz that gave it a 68-41 lead with 14:55 left in the game.  Seven different Eagles scored in that decisive stretch including Davis who picked up five points.  Juniors Alex Gulotta and Justin Resnick, along with sophomore Nash Oh, played a key roles as well with the trio coming through with three-point field goals.  Emory would eventually extend its lead to 33 points with 2:50 left.

In addition to his team-high 14 points, Davis tied his season high with a game-high nine rebounds, the third time in the past four games and the fifth time this year that he paced the club in that category.  Resnick and Greven each finished with 12 points with Resnick's total marking a career high.  Claunch and Gulotta each chipped in 11 points while sophomore Michael Friedberg and Oh added to the team's balanced scoring attack with 10 points apiece. It marked just the second time in school history that an Emory team had seven double-figure scorers.  The previous time took place on Jan. 29, 1988, in a 104-88 win over Piedmont.

Emory returns to action tomorrow evening (Jan. 3) when it hosts Piedmont in an 8:00 p.m. tip.
