For the second time in the last four games, senior Daniel Dixon topped the 30-point mark, scoring a game-high 32 and becoming the 39th player in William & Mary history to score 1,000 in his career, in an 88-85 win over Elon on Thursday.
Dixon, a 2013 Fishburne Military School postgrad alum, was 11-for-15 from the field, and added a team-high eight rebounds and four assists in the win for the Tribe (8-6, 2-1 CAA).
Junior Greg Malinowski and classmate Jack Whitman tallied 11 points apiece. Malinowski scored all 11 of his points in the second half and pulled down a season-high seven rebounds. Freshman Nathan Knight added nine points off the bench.
W&M trailed by double-digits in the opening 20 minutes after the Phoenix (8-8, 0-3 CAA) hit 11 first-half triples, but the Tribe used a 10-0 run to take the lead in the early minutes of the second half and then tallied a 10-1 run with the game tied at 70 to take the lead for good.
W&M continues it two-game homestand welcoming Drexel to Kaplan Arena on Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. With the impending winter weather in the Hampton Roads area, fans are reminded to use caution and allow for extra time when traveling to and from the game.
