OLDS, Alta. - The Olds College Broncos took care of business when it mattered, pulling away in the fourth quarter for a 64-51 victory over the SAIT Trojans at the Ralph Klein Centre, completing the weekend sweep.

Alli Taylor played a strong game for the Broncos (12-3), finishing with 13 points and 15 rebounds, while Michaela Allen-Gullion led all scorers with 16 points to go with five assists and four steals.

After a slow start on both sides, the Broncos took control of the game with a 15-0 run over a 6:32 stretch to give Olds College a 17-6 lead through 10 minutes.

The second quarter was evenly contested, as SAIT wouldn't allow a repeat of Friday night, where Olds College ran away. A back-and-forth frame produced a 38-23 Broncos lead at halftime.

After the Broncos extended their lead to 18 midway through the third, SAIT closed the frame on a 14-3 run to cut the Olds College lead to 48-41 heading to the fourth, where the Broncos defence stepped up and didn't allow the Trojans to score a field goal in the final four minutes.

Macyn Morning Bull was named the Broncos' player of the game, while Melanie Thera took the honours for the Trojans.

The Broncos have a bye next week, as they host the Red Deer College Queens on Friday, Feb. 8 at 6 p.m., while SAIT will host the St. Mary's University Lightning on Thursday, Jan. 31 at 6 p.m.
