After tying the mark for second-most threes made in a game with seven against Dartmouth on Jan. 7, Goffredo moved into second place alone—and one behind Brady Merchant ’03—with his eight trifecta outburst against Brown. He also displaced Merchant’s name under the category of “Best Three-Point Field Goal Percentage (minimum 10 attempts)” as his 8-for-10 showing surpassed Merchant?...
