He also added in two boards, four assists and two steals on 4-of-12 shooting. For the week, Brenegan shot 50 percent from the field and from beyond the arc, while averaging 22 points with two rebounds, 2.5 assists, and a steal.  That week was a part of a career-best nine-game stretch where Brenegan scored in double-digits in every game from Dec. 18 - Feb. 2. He also had a 20-point game in the SAC quarterfinals at Wingate (3/2).  Brenegan dolled out five assists on 10 occasions, topping out with a career-high nine against Mars Hill (12/15).  A noted three-point marksman, Brenegan buried a team-best 58 threes and shot 35.2 percent from range.  He had multiple threes made in 21 of his 29 games played andd three or more threes made in six games.  He reset his career high for rebounds against UVA Wise (1/5) with eight.  Brenegan led C-N in scoring in four games.  He is 9-0 in his career when he leads the Eagles in points.
