Katie Polischuk and
Sara Hubenig both hit the 20-point barrier as the University of Regina's women's basketball team took a 77-40 road win over Brandon on Friday night at the Healthy Living Centre on the BU campus.
Both players were 8-for-13 from the field. Polischuk led all players with 22 points and Hubenig scored 20 to smash her previous career high of 13 set earlier this season.
The No. 3-ranked Cougars (11-2) never trailed in the win, and led by at least double digits the whole way following a big 15-2 run in the first quarter. They led by 11 after the opening quarter, had a 34-21 lead at halftime, and put the game away with a 16-2 burst in the third quarter.
Besides the offensive contributions from Hubenig and Polischuk, the Cougars also got a nine-point effort by
Christina McCusker and eight points apiece from
Kyanna Giles and
Caitlin Zacharias. Giles also had a game-high eight rebounds, while
Michaela Kleisinger led all players with seven assists.
Brandon (7-8) was led by Lauren Anderson's nine points and six rebounds.
Regina and Brandon will play again on Saturday night at the HLC. Game time is set for 5:00.
