Loyola’s Cornell Continues Record Pace

Wed., Feb. 4, 1998

The West Coast Conference boasts one of the hottest shooters in the country in Loyola Marymount’s Peter Cornell, who broke a 25-year-old record for conference games last week by connecting on 15 consecutive field-goal attempts.

Cornell, a 6-foot-11 junior center, was 8 for 8 in the Lions’ 87-64 win over San Diego last Thursday and 7 for 7 in Saturday night’ 99-81 loss to Saint Mary’s.

Cornell’s hot streak broke the conference-game record of 14 set by LMU’ Richard Dixon and Jim Haderlein in 1970 and matched most recently by Seattle’s Greg Williams in 1973.

It also has put him within two more makes of matching the overall record of 17 straight.
