Snow College used the momentum from Thursdays win to jump out to an early lead in the first half against number one Salt Lake Community College, but the Bruins battled back to make it a one point game at the half and then moved ahead of Snow early in the second half on their way to a 99-94 win over the Badgers.

"We started well," said Head Coach Rob Nielson. "We knew we had to play well right from the start and I think we had some good energy, but we made a few too many mistakes to let them back into the game."

The Badgers outshot the Bruins in the first half 53-41 per cent with Clayton Southwick stepping outside and hitting three big three-pointers to start the game. Hagen Wright came on strong in the second half to lead Snow College with 22 points and nine rebounds. Drake Allen had 21 points, Southwick finished with 18 on 4-7 from behind the arc and Chase Potter had 17 for the Badgers.

"We've gotten better each time we've faced Salt Lake," said Nielson. "Hopefully we can win out and have another shot at them in the Region XVIII Tournament."

Snow College will finish with three games in three days on the road. Thursday the Badgers will face the Coyotes of the College of Southern Nevada and then Friday and Saturday they will finish the regular season with back to back games against SWAC newcomer Community Christian College. All three games will be carried by KMTI-AM 650 with the Region Tournament the following week, also on KMTI.
