The University of Regina's women's hockey team has two straight wins to open the Canada West season after a 3-1 win over Calgary on Saturday at the Father David Bauer Arena in Calgary.

Stephanie Sawchuk, Meghan Sherven, and Alexis Larson all scored for the Cougars, while goalie Toni Ross stopped 27 shots in the win.

Calgary's Heather Berzins was the lone Dino to beat Ross.

Regina's Tori Head was whistled for interference less than a minute into the game, but it was the Cougars that found the back of the net with Head in the box as Sawchuk forced a turnover and scored on a breakaway with less than 20 seconds left in the minor. Despite Calgary's 14-3 shot advantage in the first, Sawchuk's goal was the only one of the opening period.

The Cougars extended the lead to 2-0 seven minutes into the middle frame after Sherven scored from a tight angle to collect her second of the weekend. Kylee Kupper drew the assist on the goal.

The teams then traded goals, with both squads scoring in the span of 73 seconds later in the second period. Berzins scored a shorthanded goal at 14:43, but the Cougars responded shortly thereafter after an Alexis Larson fired a point shot that beat Calgary goalie Karly McLeod and restored the two-goal lead.

The third period saw Calgary outshoot Regina by a 9-5 margin, but neither team was able to light the lamp.

The Cougars (2-0-0) will take their undefeated record back on the road next Friday and Saturday for a pair of games at Lethbridge, which opened its season this weekend with a win and a shootout loss against UBC.
