Women's Hockey
The Cougars Women's Hockey Team continued their Canada West schedule with a weekend series at the University of Manitoba.
 
Friday's game was as back and forth as a game could be. Makena Kushniruk opened the scoring with 2:10 seconds remaining in the first which was assisted by Pippy Pritchard.
 
There were then four goals scored in less than 4 minutes to start the 2nd period. Manitoba scored early, then Shaylee Scraba answered. Manitoba scored again less than a minute later, but then Tessa Stewart answered back with an assist from Callie Hilhorst, leaving the Cougars up 3-2 heading into the 3rd period.
 
The Bisons tied the game in the 3rd, and the game ultimately went to a shootout, with the Bisons narrowly coming out on top.
 
The theatrics continued Saturday. Tessa Stewart opened the scoring with a short-handed goal in the 1st for her second goal of the weekend. Manitoba evened the score in the 2nd, but Pippy Pritchard scored late in the frame to regain the lead. The Bisons tied the game with 5 seconds left, sending the game to overtime once again. The overtime frame ended without a goal, and game headed to a shootout for the second straight night.
 
Natalie Williamson was perfect in the shootout, stopping all three of the Bisons shot attempts to secure the win.
 
The Cougars will be on bye next weekend before taking on the University of Saskatchewan Huskies at home in Regina on Oct. 24th and in Saskatoon on Oct. 25th.

On Saturday, the visiting Bisons came out firing, scoring the first 3 goals of the contest, and led 3-0 heading into the 3rd. Matt Culling opened the scoring in the final frame, but the Bisons answered back to retain a 4-1 lead. However, the Cougars were not done battling, as Ayden Third scored with less than 7 minutes to go, and then Culling scored his second of the night shortly after. However, the Bisons held on to take it 4-3.
