Cougars clinch second place in Prairie Division with win over MacEwan

Regina will host a Canada West quarterfinal game on Saturday, Feb. 14

QUICKLY
  • The University of Regina's women's basketball team clinched a second-place finish in the Prairie Division and the right to host a Canada West quarterfinal game with a 70-54 victory over MacEwan on Friday night in Edmonton.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS
  • The Cougars led 17–12 after the opening quarter and used a 17–4 run in the second to create some separation from the Griffins. They took a 39-24 lead into the break, then led by as many as 24 points in both the third and fourth quarters before settling for a 16-point margin of victory.
  • Cara Misskey had another stellar outing for Regina, leading all players in both points (22) and assists (7) while also collecting five rebounds and three steals.
  • Jade Belmore added 11 points and tied for the game high with 12 rebounds. Izzi Fust had eight points and three blocks for the Cougars while Rachel Vanderhooft also added eight points.
  • Unity Obasuyi led MacEwan with 22 points. The Griffins' Samantha Hickey tied Belmore with 12 rebounds.

PLAYOFF PICTURE
  • The win locks up second place in the Prairie Division for the Cougars (16-3). That second-place finish assures the Cougars of the No. 4 seed in the Canada West playoffs and Regina will be one of four host sites for the first weekend of the postseason.
  • The U of R will host a neutral-site play-in game next Friday, Feb. 13 featuring the Pacific Division's third-place team and the Prairie's seventh-place team. The winner of that play-in game will advance to play the Cougars in a Canada West quarterfinal on Saturday, Feb. 14 (6:00 PM).
