Posted: Dec 24, 2015
Lake Forest College men's basketball player Eric Porter was named Forester Athlete of the Week on Thursday for his record-breaking performance in an 81-76 victory at Coe College the previous Saturday.
Porter, a sophomore guard, finished with a game-high 37 points, the program's highest total in more than a decade. He made a school record 11 three-pointers in the contest, three more than the previous mark, in just 15 attempts and 12 of 17 shots from the field overall. Porter also had two rebounds, two assists, and three steals in the victory.
With a team-high 20 three-pointers in 42 attempts on the season, Porter ranks 38th in the nation in shooting percentage from beyond the arc. He is also third in the Midwest Conference in three-point field goal percentage and fifth in three-pointers made.
Forester Athletes of the Week are selected by the Athletic Department on Thursdays.
