Grinnell, Iowa - With 13 minutes remaining in the first half of Saturday's 105-84 win at Grinnell College, Ripon point guard Scott Gillespie converted a free throw, giving him 1,000
points for his college career. The junior is the 26th player in Ripon men's basketball history to reach the 1,000 point plateau. With 14 points against the Pioneers, Gillespie now ranks 24th in school history with 1,013 career points.

The Ripon, Wis. native is on pace to score 400 points for the third consecutive season, which would make him just the second Ripon player to achieve that feat in three different seasons. He will have a chance next season to become the only player in program history to score 400 points in
all four years.

Gillespie is second on the team in scoring this season, averaging 18.3 points per game. He leads the Red Hawks in both assists and steals, with 5.8 and 3.0 per game, respectively.
