History

QUICKLY

The No. 1-ranked University of Regina's women's basketball team took the lead on a Jade Belmore layup in the final minute and held on for a 56-53 win over Calgary on Saturday night at the Centre for Kinesiology, Health & Sport.

HOW IT HAPPENED

It was a low-scoring contest from the start, with Calgary leading 13-8 through one quarter before Regina came back to lead 27-22 at halftime.
The Cougars led 39-38 through three quarters, but Pollyanna Storie helped Calgary reel off a 13-3 run in the fourth quarter to put the Dinos up 53-47.
Storie's jumper and three-pointer on back-to-back possessions turned out to be Calgary's final points of the game. The Cougars scored the last nine points of the game, including a huge Zoe Hartmann triple that got the Cougars to within one and Belmore's layup which put them into the lead with just under a minute to go. After a defensive stop for the Cougars, Belmore hit a pair of free throws and the Cougars survived a good look by Calgary at the buzzer that would have sent the game into overtime for the second consecutive night.

NOTES

Belmore had another spectacular game for Regina, finishing with 29 points and 13 rebounds to lead all players in both categories.
The Cougars improve to 15-3 with the victory and are on the verge of clinching home court in the first round of the playoffs. They just need one win over MacEwan (2-16) or a Saskatchewan win over Fraser Valley next weekend to make it official.
The schedule for the opening weekend of the playoffs would see the U of R host a neutral-site game between two teams on Friday, Feb. 17. The winner would advance to face the Cougars in a Canada West quarterfinal on Saturday, Feb. 18.
