TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (January 4, 2023) – The Salt Lake Community College Men's Basketball team returned to Scenic West Athletic Conference with a thunderous performance Wednesday.
 
SLCC, who fell in a disappointing loss to Southern Idaho in its last league game, returned to play with a three-game sweep in last week's 'Fiesta Bowl Junior College Shootout' tournament in Arizona. The Bruins then continued to build on that momentum with a 92-76 win at Southern Nevada Wednesday, a win that lifted Salt Lake to 15-1 overall and 4-1 in Scenic West play.
 
The Bruins were dominant in the win, shooting a crisp 52.2 percent from the field and leading by as many as 17 points in the second half. SLCC also held a 41-30 rebounding edge.
 
Jared Garcia led Salt Lake with 19 points, while Jaquan Scott had a double-double of 18 points and 17 rebounds. Alejandro Vasquez and Andre Mulibea both finished with 14 points. Jalen Weaver also posted 10 points. 
 
Salt Lake will play Scenic West games at Community Christian on Friday and Saturday.
