VANCOUVER, BC – The Huskies were in Vancouver, BC for game three of their Canada West Semi-Final series against the UBC Thunderbirds on Sunday afternoon. Saskatchewan's season would come to an end with a 3-0 loss to UBC.

Thunderbirds rookie Cassidy Rhodes struck first for UBC just 3:11 into the game, on the power play. Her high-slot tip, on a shot from Hannah Koroll, was the only first-period goal scored for either team in the series and stood up as the winner as Elise Hugens made 26 saves for her second shutout of the weekend.

Goals were hard to come by in a tight-checking battle between the two familiar foes. The teams traded shutouts in the series with Hugens stellar once again for UBC, now with five clean sheets in her last six games.

Huskies goalie Camryn Drever turned aside 106 of the 110 shots she faced in the series. The fourth-year goalie frustrated UBC's' scorers with multiple key saves over the course of the three game battle.

"We mentally pushed through that challenge, to be shutout and held to one goal in two games all these doubts can set in your mind so it's really a big mental game there," added Thomas. "So, for us to be able to pull through the mental side of that is huge."

Sophia Gaskell scored the second goal of the game at the 3:12 mark of the second period, pinching in from the point at the perfect time, potting a feed from Jacqueline Fleming. Chanreet Bassi added a late third-period goal to seal the game for the Thunderbirds.

Having set a Canada West record with 24 regular season wins, UBC moves on to the Canada West Final against the Mount Royal Cougars. For Saskatchewan, the 2022-23 hockey season comes to an end. The future looks bright for the Saskatchewan Huskies, who have no graduating players from this year's team.
