The Olds College Broncos hit their stride on home court, defeating the University of Alberta-Augustana Vikings 87-68 at the Ralph Klein Centre on Saturday.

Rio Yamazaki turned in a star performance for the Broncos (2-3), leading all scorers with 29 points to go with 11 assists, eight rebounds and six steals to earn Player of the Game honours, while Odett Schlegl also posted a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds, and Blu Rose added 18 points, eight boards and four steals.

The first quarter was tightly contested, with the Broncos biggest lead between four at 16-12 before the Vikings came back to close the quarter tied 23-23.

However, the Broncos got hot early in the second quarter, using an 11-0 run over the course of 2:29 to build up a 37-25 lead, which they largely maintained en route to a 50-40 lead headed into halftime.

UofA-Augustana started the third quarter by bringing it to within two possessions early, only for the Broncos to break out a 9-0 run over the course of 2:16 to push the advantage to 73-57 headed to the fourth, where another early 9-0 run put the game out of reach.

Olds College will next head to Edmonton for a Remembrance Day encounter with the Concordia University of Edmonton Thunder, while the Vikings are on a bye week before taking the court for their next regular season game on Nov. 18 in Calgary against the St. Mary's University Lightning.
