SATURDAY: at Lethbridge, noon, Lethbridge, Alta.
SUNDAY: at Calgary, noon, Calgary, Alta.

The University of Regina women's soccer team is on the road this weekend for a pair of matches against Prairie Division opponents. The Cougars will visit the 0-5-1 Lethbridge Pronghorns on Saturday afternoon before heading to Calgary to take on the 5-1-0 Dinos on Sunday.

Conference Look
The Cougars hold a 1-4-1 record heading into the weekend, good enough for sixth in Canada West's Prairie Division. Lethbridge picked up its first point of the season last Sunday, earning a 1-1 draw against Winnipeg. Calgary is currently riding a five-game winning streak after dropping its first game of the season against Alberta.

Last Weekend
The Cougars earned a single point at home last weekend, falling 2-1 to Mount Royal on Saturday but playing the first-place Alberta Pandas to a tough 0-0 draw on Sunday. Nikita Senko was the goal scorer on Saturday, scoring her second penalty-kick goal of the season after Brianna Wright was fouled in the box. Rookie keeper Kylie Bolton stopped all four shots she faced on Sunday to earn her first clean sheet in a Cougar uniform.

By the Numbers
Senko and Kyra Vibert are tied for the Cougar lead with two goals each through the first six games of the season. Brigit Sinaga also has a pair of points, picking up a goal and an assist in five appearances.

Lethbridge is last in the conference with just two goals on the season, with those markers coming from Lindsay Amatto and Hailey Waterhouse. Calgary has had more success finding the back of the net, led by Maddison Fritze's three goals and Amy Mikuska and Jordan Smith who have two apiece.

History Books
The Cougars have picked up at least a point in eight of the last nine matchups with Lethbridge, winning four matches and tying another four. Regina's last win against Calgary came on Sept. 28, 2014 when the Cougars upset the No. 8-ranked Dinos 1-0 at the U of R Field.
