SASKATOON – The University of Saskatchewan Huskies completed the weekend sweep of the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack with an 80-61 win Saturday night on Ron & Jane Graham Centre Court at the PAC.
Saskatchewan's record is now .500 on the season at 2-2. On the other side, the WolfPack will leave Saskatchewan with a 3-3 record.
The WolfPack came out of the gate with an early 8-4 lead that would quickly be erased by the Huskies starters. A 23-9 run by the Huskie attack gave them a double digit lead heading into the second quarter. The early lead in the quarter would be the last time the WolfPack held a lead.
Fourth-year guard Lawrence Moore took over in the second, scoring 10 of his game-high 22 points in the frame to give the Huskies a 44-27 lead at the half.
Thompson Rivers would crawl back in the third, third-year Joe Davis scored 10 of his team-high 21 points in the quarter to narrow the Huskie lead down to 13, 63-50. Fifth-year Alex Unruh played closer in the fourth for the Huskies. Unruh scored nine of his 19 points in the final quarter to seal the victory for Saskatchewan, 80-61.
Moore finished with a game-high 22 points, while adding six steals, five assists, two rebounds and two blocks. Unruh provided 19 points, six rebounds, four assists and a steal. Fourth-year Joseph Barker finished with 15 points and nine rebounds.
Davis led the WolfPack with 21 points, seven rebounds, an assists and a block. Fourth-year Derek Rhodes finished with 14 points, three rebounds and an assist.
