Junior Austin Claunch keyed an Emory win over No. 14 Rochester on Saturday, boosting the team’s record to 20-5, the first 20-win campaign for the Eagles since 1989-90.  Claunch totaled a team-high 24 points, dished out nine assists, grabbed nine rebounds and contributed four steals in the 83-72 win over the Yellowjackets that helped Emory finish the UAA portion of the schedule with an 11-3 mark, the second-highest league win total in school history.  Claunch  sank nine-of-13 from the floor, including both three-point field goal attempts, and went four-of-four from the charity stripe as he recorded his 22nd double-figure scoring game of the campaign and sixth of 20 or more points.  His steals total marked his 13th outing of two or more thefts and his nine assists upped his total to 186, tops on the school’s seasonal ladder.
