Curta is having a record-breaking start to his senior season. The guard has already helped the Pioneers set records for made three-pointers (42) and three-pointers attempted (89) in a single game. After breaking the MWC record for career free throw attempts (761) last week, Curta followed that up with a 7-for-10 performance from the line to break the conference’s career free throws made, a mark that had stood since 1955. The senior wasn’t only about the free throws though; he averaged 29 points, 7.7 assists, and 4.3 rebounds while shooting 54.7 percent from the field to lead Grinnell to three wins (8-2, 4-0 MWC).
