RICHARDSON SECOND IN NCAA II IN FREE THROW PERCENTAGE

Huskies Defense Among National Leaders As Well

HOUGHTON, Mich. -- Michigan Tech is once again well represented in the national statistics this week.

Senior Radayl Richardson (Detroit, Mich./De Porres) moved up to second in the country in free throw percentage by making 11-of-12 foul shots last week. The 6-3 guard owns a 91.6 percent mark. He had made a school-record 29 consecutive free throws over nine games before missing one at Lake Superior State last Saturday (Feb. 10). Richardson is 87-of-95 at the free throw line this season and is just over two percent behind the national leader (93.8).

As a team, Tech ranks among the national leaders in three statistical categories. The Huskies are seventh among 262 NCAA Division II schools in field goal percentage defense at 39.2 percent. MTU also ranks second in turnovers per game (12.5) and 11th in scoring defense (61.3 points allowed per game).

Michigan Tech hosts #10 Grand Valley State tonight at the SDC Gym, with tipoff slated for 7:30 p.m.
