SCSU Basketball Gets Wins Over Upper Iowa
ST. CLOUD -- The St. Cloud State men's and women's basketball teams each notched wins over Upper Iowa on Saturday.
MEN'S - HUSKIES CONTINUE HOT STREAK IN WIN
The Huskies won their fourth game in a row, and sixth in the past seven games, after Saturday's 91-82 victory over Upper Iowa.
Upper Iowa actually held a slim halftime lead, but the Huskies finished strong - outscoring them 54-43 the rest of the way.
Jordan Poydras again led the Huskies, scoring a game-high 31 points shooting at a very efficient 11-of-17 clip.
Scottie Stone scored 17 points for SCSU and James Fort added 19 off the bench to complement Poydras in the victory.
The Huskies actually left 10 points on the floor - missing 37 percent of their free throws, but SCSU made up for it from beyond the three-point arc - hitting 10-of-21 attempts.
With the win, the Huskies improve to 15-9 on the season and will take on Northern State on Friday.
WOMEN'S - HUSKIES WIN IN DOUBLE OVERTIME THRILLER
All five Huskies starters finished in double figures as SCSU outlasts Upper Iowa 112-104 in double overtime on Saturday.

Karissa LeCaptain notched a double-double, scoring 24 points and nabbing 13 rebounds to lead the Huskies.
Carley Jeffery was on fire, particularly from three-point range, as the senior finished with 24 points.
