ABBOTSFORD, BC – The Saskatchewan Huskies are in BC this weekend for their last games of the Canada West regular season. University of the Fraser Valley Cascades topped the University of Saskatchewan Huskies 94-73 on Friday night, eliminating the Huskies from playoff contention. 

The Cascades trailed 6-0 early but came alive to outscore the Huskies 25-5 in the final 7:47 of the opening quarter and take a commanding lead. UFV continued to put the pressure on in the second, extending that advantage to 23 points to lead 49-26 at the half. 

The Huskies found their scoring touch in the second half, but were unable to slow the Cascades roll, and the hosts cruised to the 21-point victory.

UFV shot 58 percent from the field in the contest, connecting on 40 of 69 shots, while the Huskies were held to just 26 field goals on 74 attempts. The Cascades also had a strong game rebounding the ball, as they tallied 45 rebounds to Saskatchewan's 35 on the night.

KEY PERFORMANCES
Alexander Dewar led the Huskies with 17 points on the night, while Maxwell Amoafo picked up 10 points and nine rebounds, and Tyrese Potoma added 10 points of his own.

UFV's Dylan Kinley collected a game-high 20 points and added five rebounds. Matthias Klim notched 15 points and nine rebounds, while Courtney Anderson picked up 15 points and six boards. 

STANDINGS
The Cascades improve to 8-11 with the win, while the Huskies fall to 5-14 on the season. The loss snaps Saskatchewan's hopes for a play-in game in the post-season.
