CALGARY, AB - The Saskatchewan Huskies earned a weekend split with a 3-1 win over the Mount Royal University Cougars. On the final day of the regular season, the Huskies stole a victory at Flames Community Arena despite being outshot by the Cougars, 35-17.
 
Saskatchewan netminder Colby Wilson was stellar all game and was the MVP for the Huskies, stopping 33 of 34. 
 
The Huskies got the first goal of the game midway through the first period. Sara Kendall tapped in a goal past the right pad of Cougars goalie, Scout Anderson, while on the powerplay. MRU struggled to clear the puck out of the zone and Saskatchewan made them pay.
 
In the second, Brooklyn Stevely added to the Huskie lead. The defender wired a short-side wrist shot to make it 2-0.
 
Mount Royal was awarded a penalty shot after a Huskie player covered the puck in the crease. Aliya Jomha was selected to shoot for MRU, and Jomha deked to her forehand, but Colby Wilson made a fantastic save to keep the puck out. The Huskies held their 2-0 lead into the third.
 
Jomha was able to make up for her penalty shot attempt when she made a smooth move around the Huskie defence and roofed it past Wilson to cut the lead in half.
 
Saskatchewan was able to restore their two-goal lead with their own pretty goal. Bronwyn Boucher split the defence and fired a laser past Scout Anderson. The Huskies held on for a 3-1 win over the Cougars.
