By Jordan Spritzer

The Elon University men’s basketball team has dropped its seventh straight following a 77-63 loss to the College of Charleston. Junior guard Tanner Samson broke Elon’s single season three-pointer record with his six three’s, but it was not enough to top the College of Charleston. Having tied Jack Isenbarger’s record going to the matchup at the TD Arena, the Littleton, Colorado native hit his 83rd three of the season with 10:39 remaining in the first half to cut Elon’s deficit to just two at 16-14. Samson kept the Phoenix in the game early scoring 17 of his 22 points coming in the first half.
