UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. -- Katie Wysocky poured in 18 second-half points to lift Michigan Tech to a 68-65 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference basketball victory at Saginaw Valley State tonight. The freshman forward combined with sophomore Sarah Stream to tally 40 of the team's total.

Tech led by as many as 14 in a turnover-laden first half. The two teams combined for 22 miscues in the opening 20 minutes. The Huskies gained their first double-digit lead at the 2:52 mark as Jenna Bartels nailed a three-pointer off an assist from Danae Danen. One minute later, Alicia Schneider hit Tech's second triple of the game for a 28-14 advantage. SVSU ended the half with momentum from a half-court shot that capped an 8-0 run.

SVSU worked its way into a 34-33 lead at the 14:31 mark of the second half, then six minutes later capped a 12-1 run for a nine-point bulge. The Huskies responded with an 11-2 run topped off by a Stream three-pointer to tie the game at 51-all with 5:59 to go.

Wysocky scored five straight points to give the Huskies a small advantage, but the Cardinals evened things up once again at 63 with 1:00 to play. Stream hit a tough, pull-up jumper in the paint at :48, then the Tech defense held the hosts without a field goal until Jenna Schroeder made a bucket at the buzzer for the final three-point margin.

"We showed a lot of poise to battle back from that nine-point hole in the second half," said head coach John Barnes. "Katie (Wysocky) gave us a huge spark in the second half."

Wysocky tallied 18 points and a team-high eight rebounds in the contest. Stream added 22 points and four assists. Schneider was the only other Husky in double figures with 12 to go with seven boards.

Tech shot 50 percent from the field including a blistering 59 percent mark in the second half. SVSU gained a 39-33 advantage in rebounds, but was limited to 40 percent from the field including just 20 percent from long range.

Michigan Tech (12-7, 6-5 GLIAC) will head to Midland, Mich., for a game at Northwood on Saturday (Jan. 27). Tipoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Notes: Tech gained a split in the season series with SVSU ... Wysocky is averaging 17.3 points per game in league contests ... Stream's 22-point effort was her season high.
