Salt Lake Community College’s No. 7-ranked Women’s Basketball team (21-4, 10-0 SWAC) has won 16 straight games including its 68-33 victory over Colorado Northwestern Community College (CNCC) (5-18, 0-10 SWAC) on Saturday night in Rangely, CO.

It wasn’t just SLCC’s 16 straight win on the season, which is tied for the second longest winning streak in team history; it was a milestone for their Head Coach Betsy Specketer.

Specketer won her 400th game as coach with SLCC, where she has a record of 400-165 overall. Specketer’s conference record as the Bruins Head Coach is 214-97.

“The 400-win thing was kind of a surprise to me, I knew it was coming soon but our coaches surprised me, it was fun. I’m just really glad it happened with this group of players and coaches, this is a really special group,” said Specketer in a press release.

SLCC out-rebounded CNCC, grabbing 53 of the 92 boards on the night and held CNCC to just 17 percent shooting from the field (9-53) on the night. The Bruins finished at 40.4 percent on their end from the field and made 18 of their 24 shots were assisted.

The Bruins held CNCC to just 11 points in the first half.

“We defended very well tonight, it was a total team effort and everyone got involved,” said Speketer in a press release.

Sophomore guard Summer Yack led the way for the Bruins with 20 points and was 5-6 from beyond the arc.

Sophomore guard Mercedes Riggs finished the night off with seven assists and no turnovers, and freshman forward Tanesha Daniels turned in two points and a team-high 10 rebounds.

Next up for the Bruins is a conference road game at Snow College (9-13, 2-17 SWAC) on Saturday, Feb. 8 at 3 p.m. in Ephraim, UT.
