ROCHESTER, NY – The Nazareth University Men's Basketball team set a few team records and watched as graduate student Logan Blankenberg eclipsed the 1,000-career point milestone as the Golden Flyers delivered a high-scoring 118-59 win over Elmira Saturday afternoon in an Empire 8 game in Kidera Gymnasium.

Blankenberg became the 30th player in school history to reach the scoring mark as he drained a 3-pointer late in the first half for the 21st point of the game for the sharp-shooting guard. Needing 20 points coming into the contest to reach the milestone, Blankenberg exploded for 21 in the first half on the strength of six 3-pointers.

The Ontario, NY native and graduate of Wayne Central finished with 32 points to lead all scorers. He was 7-for-8 from 3-point range and the Golden Flyers set a new school record with 18 3-pointers as a team. The old record of 17 3's in a game was set against Rochester, on November, 23, 1993.

Nazareth was unstoppable from the field shooting 40-for-55 from the floor for a new school record for field goal percentage in a game at .727. The old record was .710 in 2019 against Elmira. The 118 points Saturday was the most since that Elmira win in 2019 when Nazareth finished with a school-record 124 points.

Four other players joined Blankenberg in double-figures scoring for Nazareth (15-6 overall, 12-1 Empire 8) as sophomore Jaylen Savage scored 14, graduate student Jordan Haggard added 13, sophomore Tyler Putney chipped in 12 and sophomore Solomon McFarlane scored 10 points. Savage added a team leading nine assists.

Nazareth raced to a 56-24 lead at halftime and added another 62 points in the second half.
