COLUMBIA, S.C. (Dec. 2, 2017) â€" Sophomore Daxton Bostian scored a career high 34 points to help the Milligan College men's basketball team get back on the winning track with a 93-90 victory at Allen University Saturday in an Appalachian Athletic Conference game.
 
The win snapped a two-game losing streak as Milligan defeated an Allen squad which is receiving votes in the latest NAIA national top 25 poll.
 
BOSTIAN'S NUMBERS
Bostian was 10-for-17 from the field and 6-for-10 from 3-point territory. He also connected on 8-of-10 free throws and chipped in two rebounds, an assist and a steal. Bostian's previous career high was 22 which he set last season, just four games into his freshman campaign. Two other times last season he recorded a 20-point effort, and his season high so far this year was 18 against Washington Adventist a week ago.
 
Bostian became the first Buff since Kurt Brooks on Jan. 13, 2016, to go over the 30-point mark. Brooks also scored 34 points in that game. Only 28 times has a member of the Milligan men's basketball team scored 34 points or higher in a single game dating back to at least the 1988-89 season.
