The University of Saskatchewan Huskies defeated the University of Regina Cougars by a score of 2-1 on Sunday afternoon.

Huskies forward Alyssa D'Agnone scored the game winner as they moved ahead of Regina in the East Division and now own sole possession of first place. Kyra Vibert scored her third goal of the season for the Cougars. Regina was a victim of an own goal in the first half, resulting in the Huskies first goal of the game.

Kyra delivered a strong strike into the back of the net. The Huskies brought the pressure for rest of the half, taking 17 shots and six corner kicks. In the middle of the opening half, Saskatchewan forward Taneil Gay had a shot ricochet off the cross bar. The rebound was misplayed by a Cougars defender and into their own net to tie the game.

Two minutes into the second half, D'Agnone scored her first goal of the season to put the Huskies ahead. They wouldn't relinquish the lead and held on for the big win. The Cougars had some opportunities on free kicks in the second half but failed to convert on any of them.
