TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (December 7, 2022) – Every game is a big game for the undefeated Salt Lake Community College Men's Basketball team.
 
The start of Scenic West Athletic Conference play raises the stakes of a contest, certainly, but playing on the road at a nationally ranked in-state rival makes the game a titanic showdown. Those are the circumstances that greeted the No. 2 Bruins as they traveled to open Scenic West play at No. 16 Snow College, earning an impressive 92-67 road win over the Badgers Wednesday.
 
Salt Lake controlled from the start, taking a 48-29 halftime lead after limiting the Badgers to just 32.1 percent shooting (9-of-28) in the first half. In contrast, the Bruins shot 60.7 percent, going 9-of-15 from three-point range. SLCC's defense also led to easy points, with the Bruins holding a 14-3 advantage in points-off-turnovers. Salt Lake's bench also scored 41 points.
 
Hunter Erickson and Jaxon Pollard both scored 17 points each to lead Salt Lake, while Jaquan Scott had 16 points. Tyson Garff finished with 13 points. 
 
Salt Lake is now 9-0 overall and 1-0 in league play. The Bruins will play at USU Eastern on Saturday.
