SASKATOON – Third-year guard Alex Unruh came off the bench to score 22 points leading the University of Saskatchewan Huskies to an 81-61 win over the Brandon University Bobcats Saturday night at the PAC.

Unruh got on a roll in the third quarter going a perfect three-for-three from behind the arc. He finished the night five-for-eight from long range and 8-of-13 overall to go along with three assists and a pair of rebounds.

With the win, Saskatchewan improves to 6-10 and keeps the Huskies in the hunt for the post-season. Brandon falls to 1-15 with the loss.
