Box Score

The University of Regina's women's basketball team completed a weekend sweep over the Calgary Dinos with a 76-43 victory on Saturday night at the Centre for Kinesiology, Health & Sport.

The Cougars reeled off 12 consecutive points early in the second quarter to push a seven-point advantage to a big 19-point lead. Calgary got the lead down to nine with a Kristie Sheils three-pointer early in the third quarter, but that would be the last time the Dinos would be within double digits. The Cougars responded to Sheils' triple with a 15-0 run and never looked back.

Nicole Clarke scored a game-high 18 points for the Cougars, marking the 11th time in the U of R's 20 conference games this season that the fifth-year guard has at least tied for the team lead in scoring. Clarke also led all players with nine rebounds to fall just short of a double-double for the Cougars, who improve to 18-2 with the victory.

Alyssia Kajati was 7-for-10 from the field and scored 16 points, while Megan Chamberlin (pictured) hit five of her six field goal attempts and ended up with 10 points. The Cougars ended up with a 51-38 rebounding advantage and shot 50% in the win.

Calgary (11-9) was led by 10 points by both Tamara Jarrett and Aimee Wilson. Jarrett added a team-high eight rebounds and also led the Dinos with four assists. The Dinos will now prepare for a home-and-home with Lethbridge to close out the Canada West schedule and will need at least one Winnipeg loss in the Wesmen's final three games of the season – including Saturday's home matchup against Saskatchewan – to put them in a playoff spot.

The Cougars remain tied with Alberta (18-2) for top spot in the Prairie Division. The Pandas hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over the U of R, so the Cougars will need at least one Saskatchewan win over Alberta next weekend to claim the division title even if the U of R finishes the conference schedule with a pair of home wins over Brandon.

NOTES: The win was Regina's 14th consecutive Canada West victory.
