Charles Jenkins broke the Hofstra men's basketball all-time scoring record by hitting two free throws with 10:15 left to play against Drexel on Saturday afternoon.

The record was previously set at 2,276 by Antoine Agudio in 2008.

Jenkins, who came into the game with 2,261 points, scored 10 of his necessary 16 in the first half.

When Tom Pecora was debating whether to leave Hofstra after nine seasons to take over Fordham’s men’s basketball program, he thought of Blaine Taylor, his Colonial Association rival at Old Dominion.

After leading Montana to three postseason appearances in seven years, Taylor spent three seasons, from 1998 to 2000, as an assistant coach at Stanford before leaving for Old Dominion in 2001.

“It took a lot of guts for him to pick up and leave Montana, where he was having great success, and go to Stanford, and then to move from Stanford all the way across the country,” Pecora said. “I give him a lot of credit for that. There’s so many people in life who are in comfort zones, and they never want to leave those comfort zones and challenge themselves.

“It’s something I thought about when I decided to leave Hofstra … not to fear but embrace the challenge, and go out and face it head-on and try to build something special. I really think he’s done that at ODU.”
