Kyle Pierce, men's basketball

Junior Kyle Pierce (Burlington, MA/Burlington) turned in 23 points and a school-record 13 free throws - on 15 attempts - during an 87-80 overtime victory against Wentworth Institute of Technology in Wheelock's season opener on Monday. Pierce, who missed 10 games due to injury last year, also collected three rebounds and two assists while playing 41 of a possible 45 minutes. It was Pierce's first 20-point game since his freshman year, when he reached the mark three times, including while pouring in a career-best 24 at Endicott College on Jan. 27, 2009.
