SALEM, W.Va. - Sami Wylie made an NCAA record 21 3-pointers and finished with 69 points to help Lincoln University set a Division III scoring record in a 201-78 victory over Ohio State-Marion on Saturday.

Lincoln's total topped the Division III mark set in January 2005 by the University of Redlands, which scored 172 points against La Sierra College. Wylie's 21 3s beat Jeff Clement's 19 3-pointers for Division III Grinnell against Illinois College on Feb. 18, 1998.

Then-Division II Troy has the all-time NCAA record with 258 points against DeVry, Ga., on Jan. 12, 1992.

The margin of victory for Lincoln also was an NCAA record.

What's funny is this was a consolation game of a tournament. They had lost a prior game 90-79. Talk about taking it out your frustration on an opponent! They had 104 points in the second half. Lincoln had 48 steals and OSU-Marion had 62 turnovers. Wylie had 69 points in 24 minutes!
