Game Summary

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Nick Michaels (Dyer, Ind.) knocked down 5 of 6 3-pointers and scored a game-high 26 points as the Saint Mary's University men's basketball team snapped a two-game losing streak with a 72-69 win over Augsburg Saturday afternoon.

The Cardinals, who trailed 40-39 at the half, used a 19-3 run to take a 58-45 advantage with 11:31 remaining and never looked back in improving to 2-4 in the MIAC and 2-7 overall.
