The Deeann Griebel Student Success Center at SMSU is hosting their annual Mustang Success Night on from 7-9 p.m. today in the SMSU Conference Center.

The program features a support services fair and a major exploration fair to help students learn about the many services available to help them succeed and find their academic path at SMSU.

The keynote presentation will be presented by Jacob Fahl, SMSU Class of 2003.

Former SMSU men’s basketball standout, Fahl graduated with a degree in management in 2003. During his time as a student-athlete, he forged a legacy in the SMSU record books as one of the greatest men’s basketball players in program history. A four-year letter winner from Benson, Fahl was the centerpiece of a golden era for Mustang basketball and graduated as the school’s all-time leading scorer.

Appearing in 120 career games, Fahl tallied a school-record 1,638 points–surpassing the previous mark on Feb. 28, 2003. His record stood unchallenged for 17 years. He led SMSU in scoring during both his junior and senior seasons, earning All-NSIC first-team and Daktronics second-team All-Region honors in 2002 and 2003. Fahl finished his career holding school records for 3-point field goals made (173), free throws made (377), free throw percentage (84.5%), and games played (120). He also ranked fourth in field goals made (544) and fifth in assists (260). His 90.4 percent free-throw percentage during the 2002-03 season remains one of the best single-season marks in SMSU history, ranking third all-time.

Fahl played a vital role on SMSU’s first-ever NSIC championship team in 2000-01, a season that also saw the Mustangs win the NCAA region championship and advance to the NCAA Elite Eight for the first time in program history. During his tenure, SMSU compiled a stellar 84-36 overall record and posted top four
