WINNIPEG, Man. - A third comeback win for Manitoba against the Huskies completed the weekend sweep, as two goals in six seconds from Bisons own Nora Collins and Aimee Patrick gave Manitoba the 2-1 win on Senior Night. 

Manitoba held the majority of the puck possession in the first.

Forward Ashley Keller spurred a good string of chances for the Bisons  at the start of the period. A good drive to the net by Keller forced Saskatchewan netminder Colby Wilson to make an early stop.

An inspired end-to-end skate from Forward Nora Collins resulted in her speeding past all the Saskatchewan defencemen, but just missed the net from the point. 

Against the run of play, Saskatchewan put themselves on the scoreboard first. 

Having gained confidence after successfully killing off the Manitoba power play, the Huskies created a numbers up opportunity around the Bison's net. 

After a wrap-around shot deflected off of the Bison Goaltender's pad, Sara Kendall took the puck to a tough-angle and fired it bar-down, giving Saskatchewan the lead.

Two quick goals for the Bisons drove the intensity through the roof for the duration of the second period. 

The first goal came as a result of a good possession play by Nora Collins, who kept the puck in the Huskies' zone until her team followed up with her. 

Defenceman Louise Fergusson shot the puck towards the Saskatchewan net, and Collins was rewarded for her efforts. Collins redirected the shot five-hole past the Huskies Goalie, her second of the weekend. 

Manitoba's second came just 6 seconds later. Right off the draw, a poor back-pass from Saskatchewan left Manitoba's points leader Aimee Patrick with space. Patrick sped past the Huskies defenceman and fired the puck home to give the Bisons the lead. 

Manitoba's two goals spurred a fiery exchange between the two sides for the rest of the period.  

After a scrum broke out that filled the teams' penalty boxes with two players respectively, the rest of the period contained thrilling end-to-end entertainment. 

The Huskies' best chance came from Forward Ava Bergman, as a good passing sequence from Saskatchewan gave Bergman a one-on-one opportunity with the Bison goaltender, but shot it wide of the net. 

Manitoba dominated the start of the third period, who hemmed the Huskies within their zone. 

Keller got an opportunity at the point to put the Bisons up as she backhanded the puck towards the net, but Wilson made the pad save. 

Wilson again came up big for the Huskies, as Julia Bird made a lunging pass to Collins with open ice at the point, but again was denied by the Saskatchewan netminder. 

The Huskies grew into the third as the time ticked away, but the Manitoba defense held strong, limiting Saskatchewan's shots to six within the period. 

The Bisons netminder Paige Fischer came up big in the dying minutes. 

A pokecheck put the puck on Saskatchewan's Aeryn Flanagan's stick who skated one-on-one against Fischer, but the Manitoba netminder ate the chance up. The Bisons closed out the game 2-1.

The Huskies finish the 2024-25 season with a 5-17-6 record and in 4th-place in the Canada West East Division.
