HUTCHINSON, KANSAS--The Bruins of Salt Lake Community College, Salt Lake City, Utah, jumped out to an early lead over the North Dakota State College of Science Wildcats of Wahpeton, N.D., and never looked back. In what was a balanced scoring attack, the Bruins stood their ground throughout the game despite a Wildcat mini-run at the beginning of the second half. Salt Lake didn’t back down and gave the Cats just their third loss of season 91-55.
On Thursday, March 19, at 4:30 p.m. the Wildcats (31-3) go on to play Lamar Community College, Lamar, Colo. (25-11) (District 9 Champion, Region 9 Champion).
