Box Score

Seven players hit double figures in scoring for the University of Regina's women's basketball team on Sunday afternoon in a 104-51 win over Manitoba at the Centre for Kinesiology, Health & Sport.

Michelle Clark and Danielle Schmidt both had 17 points to lead the Cougars, who improve to 5-1 with the victory and have now won five consecutive Canada West games. Brittany Read, Jennilea Coppola, and Nicisha Johnson all had 12 points, while Lindsay Ledingham and Kehlsie Crone both scored 11.

Read added a game-high 10 rebounds to notch the game's lone double-double.

Manitoba's Robyn Eyer had 13 points at the half and ended up with a team-leading 16 points, while Sheree Carmona-Galdamez scored 13 and Stephanie Gill chipped in with 11.

Manitoba got to within three points late in the first quarter after back-to-back triples by Eyer, but the No. 3-ranked Cougars pulled away with a 21-3 run over the next seven minutes to seize control of the contest. The U of R had a massive second quarter, outscoring the Bisons 38-12 to take a 63-30 lead going into halftime.

The second half was more of the same for the Cougars, as they spread the minutes around and outscored Manitoba 22-11 in the third and 19-10 in the fourth to cruise to their second 50-point win over the Bisons in as many nights.

Manitoba (2-4) falls into a tie with Saskatchewan and Winnipeg for fifth place in Canada West's Prairie Division standings. The Bisons will head west next weekend for road games against No. 2-ranked Fraser Valley and Trinity Western.

Alone in second place in the division standings, the Cougars will also fly to British Columbia next weekend for games against Thompson Rivers and UBC Okanagan. The Cougars are back at home on Nov. 30 (Trinity Western) and Dec. 1 (Fraser Valley) before the month-long break from Canada West action.

NOTES: Sunday's game marked the 11th time in program history that the Cougars have scored at least 100 points in a game and the fourth time they've hit triple digits since joining Canada West prior to the 2001-02 season.
