MIAMI (December 30. 2017) -- Sophomore Alexis Gordon (Palm Bay, Florida / Covenant Christian HS) set a new school record with nine made three-point field goals in a game, and set a new career-high with 40 points as FIU defeated Vermont 80-70 Saturday at the Ocean Bank Convocation Center to finish the calendar year. FIU is now 3-10 on the season heading into Conference USA play to start 2018.
The team tied the school mark with 13 made threes in a game. The point total is the most by a Conference USA student-athlete this season, and the most for a Panther since Jerica Coley scored 42 in a Conference USA Tournament game against East Carolina in March of 2014.
