Box Score 2 TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (March 24, 2018) - A wave of momentum is something a team tries to ride for as long as it can.
The No. 10 Salt Lake Community College Bruins know that feeling as they attempt to ride a wave that has included a win streak that is now up to double-digits, thanks to a four-game series sweep of the College of Southern Nevada. After earning two wins Friday, the Bruins came back Saturday for a Scenic West Athletic Conference sweep of the Coyotes, earning 20-0 and 13-0 victories to move to 14-2 in league play.
Salt Lake's winning streak is now up to 12 games, a streak that started on Mar. 9 in an 8-0 victory over USU Eastern. The Bruins will hope to continue the streak when they travel to play Colorado Northwestern in a four-game league series starting Mar. 30.
Salt Lake 20, Southern Nevada 0: The Bruins' offense started up early, with the fuel never leaving the visiting squad as SLCC rolled to the victory.
