Macalester College Athletics

One of Macalester's best athletes of the Seventies, Eric Anderson starred for the Scots in baseball, basketball, and football.  In basketball, Anderson played under Coach Doug Bolstorff and is still ranked in the top ten in career scoring at Macalester with 1,038 points.  A two-time team most valuable player, Anderson was named to the All-Conference team twice and was All-District 13 as a senior.  He averaged 15.5 points a game as a junior to lead Mac to a 16-11 record.  His 418 points scored that winter was at the time the second most ever scored by a Scot.  Anderson followed that up with an identical 15.5 scoring average as a senior and was later drafted by Cleveland in the National Basketball Association. 

Anderson was also a baseball standout for Macalester, earning All-Conference honors three times and All-District 13 status once.
