WBB: DeMong Leads Huskies in 77-62 Win Over Thunderbirds

SASKATOON, SK – The Saskatchewan Huskies and UBC Thunderbirds met for game two of the weekend series Saturday evening after a tough Friday night battle. Despite the Thunderbirds' resiliency, Saskatchewan would remain undefeated after a 77-62 victory. 
 
THE HIGHLIGHTS
  • The Thunderbirds started strong, taking a 11-4 lead early in the quarter, finishing the first with a 20-13 lead over the Huskies. Olivia Weekes had eight points in the quarter for the Thunderbirds. 
  • The Huskies found their footing early in the second, taking the lead from UBC. Logan Reider would finish off the half for the Huskies with a buzzer-beater three, making it a 40-27 game in favour of Saskatchewan.
  • With a twelve point lead coming out of the half, Saskatchewan's Tea DeMong set the pace for the second half, recording 15 points and three steals, applying constant pressure on the Thunderbird's defence. 
  • The Huskies would lead by as much as 19 points in the third quarter, heading into the fourth with a 64-49 lead. 
  • Saskatchewan continued to push on offence, with a 22 point lead with just under five minutes remaining. 
  • With thirty seconds left, UBC's Emily Martindale would drain a three pointer and teammate Stella Lagrange would follow suit soon after, ending the game with a three at the sound of the buzzer. The offensive push came a bit too late for the Thunderbirds who are heading back to BC with the loss.
