Emory sophomore Austin Claunch averaged 12.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists and in the process tied a school record in helping the Eagles to a pair of road wins.  In a 69-57 victory at NYU on Jan. 22, Claunch played all 40 minutes and posted 14 points (second high on the squad), tied for team honors with six boards and doled out five assists with no turnovers. He followed that performance with an 11-point, team-high five assists performance in helping Emory to a 77-64 triumph at No. 15 Brandeis on Jan. 24.  He sank three-of-five from the floor and converted all five of his free throw opportunities in registering his 12^th double-figure scoring performance of the year. 

All totaled on the weekend, he shot 42.8 percent from the floor (6-of-14) and 1.000 percent from the free throw line (13-of-13).  His five makes from the charity stripe in the Brandeis contest enabled him to tie Kevin Felner for the school record with 35 consecutive free throws.  Claunch, who has knocked down all 33 attempts from the foul line during the month of January, started his streak in the second half of the Hanover game (Dec. 19) when he went 2-for-2. 

His performance helped Emory post its first back-to-back UAA road wins since Feb. 24-26, 2003.  Emory's 12-4 record is the second-best 16-game record in school history behind only the 15-1 slate manufactured by the 1989-90 squad.
