ST. CLOUD, Minn. -- Senior guard Max Cody scored 12 points to push his career point total to 1,003 as the Beavers fall 90-74 to the Huskies at St. Cloud State on Sunday.

Cody came into the game knowing he only needed nine points to become the 17th player in MSU men's basketball program history to cross the 1,000-point threshold.

After a slow start that saw Cody register just three points in the first half, the senior scored nine points in the second half, including a three-pointer that hit the rim twice, glanced off the backboard, and fell through the net to give him 1,000 points in his career.

Here is the three-pointer that gave Max Cody 1,000-career points!


The Beavers (2-4, 0-2) had four players score in double figures, led by Jaxon Gunville, who had 17 points. Max Cody tacked on 12 points and five assists and Cam'ron Dunfee chipped in as well with 10 points.
 
The Minot State offense was impressive from downtown, knocking down 10 threes on 22 attempts. Gunville hit five treys for the Beavers in the contest.
