George Mason made quick work of Coppin State on its way to a 93-55 victory on Wednesday night.

The Patriots (3-3) shot a season-best 60.4 percent (32-of-53) and limited the Eagles to just 33.3 percent (19-of-57) on the night.

Grad student Zach Anderson tallied a season-best 21 points and knocked down a career-best seven three-pointers on nine attempts in the win.

With his 19th point of the game, Anderson reached 1,000 points for his career.

Junior Giovanni Emejuru added a season-best 21 points and a team-high seven rebounds. Emejuru made 8-of-9 attempts from the floor.

Senior Jalen Haynes chipped in 12 points and made 5-of-7 field goal attempts.

The Patriots wrap up their two-game homestand with a Saturday afternoon affair against Ferrum. Tip-off between the Patriots and Panthers is set for 2 p.m.
