TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (Friday, November 17, 2023) –  Jordan Battle beat the clock with a right-wing three that found nothing but nylon, propelling the Bruins to a 73-70 win over Florida Southwestern State College.

"I'm proud and impressed with how our guys competed and stayed locked in all the way to the end, " head coach Kyle Taylor said following the win. 

No. 4 Salt Lake improved to 7-0 with the buzzer-beating victory. 

"We had some challenging moments where we could've quit, but they kept fighting. To be down 6 with 2:30 to play on the road against a really good team and find a way to win says a lot about these guys."

Xavier Edmonds helped pilot the Bruins into a tight second-half game, leading all scorers with 22 points while adding eight rebounds and four steals. CJ Luster made 7-of-13 shots on his way to 17 points.

With the game tied at 70, Battle collected his sixth rebound of the night and with less than ten seconds on the clock, quickly advanced into the front court. Battle dribbled into a pull-up three that dropped cleanly through the net as the horn sounded. The redshirt sophomore guard had 15 points, five assists, and four steals to go with his game-winner.

"Give all the credit on that last shot to Jordan. He wants the ball in crunch time, he has confidence that he's going to make every shot, and he also works really hard day in and day out to get extra shots up outside of practice. He makes shots like that all the time at practice and in shootarounds. He always throws up some last-second shot when we're bringing it in and he honestly makes almost all of them. I still can't believe he made it, but happy for him, happy for our guys, and happy for our program. That was a big win on the road in Florida against a really good FSW team."

The Bruins return home to face the Central Wyoming College Rustlers (2-4) on Tuesday, November 21. Tip-off is scheduled for 5 p.m. (MT) at Bruin Arena. Find tickets for all Salt Lake Community College events here.
