SASKATOON, SK – The Saskatchewan Huskies (5-3-0) welcomed the Lethbridge Pronghorns (1-8-0) to Saskatoon on cool Saturday afternoon at Griffiths Stadium in Nutrien Park.

Harding would draw the yellow card in the 41^st minute after a collision in the box. The resulting kick taken by Saskatchewan's Jade Houmphanh would find its way past her and into the next for the Huskie goal and the 1-0 lead heading into the half. 
 
A flurry of substitutions from both teams would start the second half as Saskatchewan and Lethbridge looked to load up on power. Aggressive play would hit the field from both teams, with Lethbridge's Tory Clements and Saskatchewan's Amou Madol both drawing the yellow cards. 
 
The last ten minutes of the game saw the Huskies offence push hard, with shots on goal from Caitlin Stove, Cheyenne Lehmann, Marie Kilcher, Jenna Steacy, and Jade Houmphanh all within a three minute span. Harding was incredible in net for the Pronghorns, ensuring nothing got past the line.
