Jamie LeMay's goal in the 69th minute gave the Saskatchewan Huskies a 1-0 win over the Regina Cougars on Sunday afternoon in a Canada West match played in blustery conditions at the U of R Field.

LeMay took a long cross from Lindsay Manz and beat her defender wide, then fired a shot over a sprawling Michelle Anderson and just inside the right post to give the Huskies (the lead midway through the second half.
