    (With this year's intercollegiate athletic seasons put on hold due to health concerns, let's take a look back at previous Hilltopper happenings on this date. Nine years ago on this date, the No. 14-ranked men's basketball team launched 110 shots in a 138-92 blowout of Point Park (Pa.) at the ASRC!)
Box Score
    WEST LIBERTY, W.Va. – The No. 14 West Liberty University men's basketball team launched a school-record 110 shots – and made half of them – here Sunday afternoon in rolling to a 138-92 non-conference victory against Point Park (Pa.) inside the ASRC.
    "Point Park scores a lot of points and had already beaten Fairmont State and Salem," Hilltopper head coach Jim Crutchfield said, "so we knew they were a dangerous team."
    The 110 shots broke the previous school record of 109 field goal attempts, set during a 139-70 rout of OU Eastern in Crutchfield's head coaching debut on Nov. 15, 2004
    The Hilltoppers (7-1) forced a racehorse pace from the start, jetting out to a double-digit lead just 2 ½ minutes after the opening tip. Junior guard Tim Hausfeld fueled West Liberty's early surge with four 3-point rainbows – each seemingly longer than the previous bomb – as he scored 14 of his 28 points before the game was four minutes old.
    "Tim was really shooting the ball well tonight," Crutchfield said. "They opened up in a zone and Tim can be a bit of a zone-buster."
    The Pioneers (7-5) tried to run with the hosts but the Hilltoppers kept the pedal to the metal, taking their largest lead of the first half, 51-26, on a Mike Lopez 3-pointer at the 9-minute mark.
    Point Park didn't go away quietly as the Heatherington brothers – T.J. and Robbie – sparked a 28-11 Pioneer surge that cut the deficit all the way back to 62-53 with 2 minutes left in the half.
    Another Hausfeld 3-pointer stopped the bleeding at the 1:57 mark and the Hilltoppers went on to score 15 of the half's final 18 points to take a 77-56 lead at intermission.
    The Pioneers never threatened again as West Liberty pulled away steadily throughout the second half, leading by as many as 48 points down the stretch.
    The 5-7 Hausfeld added 8 rebounds and 5 steals to his game-high 28 points while junior post Chris Morrow stuffed the stat sheet with 25 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals as West Liberty placed a season-high 8 players in double-figures.
    Hausfeld's 8 3-point field goals fell one short of John Wolosinczuk's ASRC record of 9 3-pointers, which was set on Jan. 15, 2009 in a 121-78 rout of Bluefield State
    Alex Falk weighed in with 13 points, Lopez finished with a dozen, C.J. Hester and Nick Brown contributed 11 each while Shawn Dyer and Mark Shadowens had 10 points. Cedric Harris just missed double-figures with 8 points but tied his own team season-high with 8 assists and grabbed 8 rebounds.
    T.J. Heatherington led Point Park with 27 points while Robbie Heatherington added 22.
