QUICKLY
One night after ending Saskatchewan's bid for a perfect season, the University of Regina's women's basketball team was defeated 90-57 by the Huskies on Saturday night in Saskatoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The game was close through one quarter, but Saskatchewan scored the first 10 points of the second to pull away from the Cougars.
• The Huskies had another 8-0 run later in the second quarter to build up a 20-point lead and took a 49-33 advantage into halftime. Saskatchewan led 67-50 through three quarters, and ended any hope of a Regina comeback with an 11-0 run to start the fourth. 

NOTES

• Carly Ahlstrom led Saskatchewan (17-1) in scoring with 18 points while Tea DeMong had 15 and Andrea Dodig scored 14.
• The Cougars were led by Cara Misskey's 13 points.
• Regina (13-5) will enter the final weekend of the regular season ranked No. 5 in the conference in RPI, which is used to seed teams for Canada West's postseason tournament. The Cougars can still finish anywhere from fourth to eighth in RPI.

NEXT UP
