Huskies close out season with win over Cougars

REGINA, Sask. – The Saskatchewan Huskies and the Regina Cougars closed
out the Canada West women's hockey regular season schedule on Sunday
night, with the Huskies emerging as 7-4 winners at the Sherwood Ice
Sports Centre.

Sara White came into the game with three goals on the season and doubled
that total in the win, leading the Huskies with a hat trick and adding
an assist for a four-point night.

The Huskies scored four times in the first period, getting two from
White and one each from Julie Paetsch and Danny Stone. Rianne Wight and
Kelcie McCutcheon both replied for the Cougars as Saskatchewan took a
4-2 lead into the first intermission.

Wight brought the Cougars to within one with a power play goal just over
two minutes into the second, and Rae-Lynn Somogyi tied up the game after
knocking in a rebound with five minutes left in the period.

Saskatchewan retook the lead for good just 15 seconds later, as Stone
scored her second of the contest and what would turn out to be the game
winner. Breanne George notched her 28th of the season only 23 seconds
after Stone's goal, and White added an insurance goal midway through the
third.

Chelsea Purcell had four assists for Saskatchewan, while Brianna Workman
made her second start of the season and stopped 20 shots in the win.

Lisa Urban made 28 saves for the Cougars (7-11-6).

For the second night in a row, the game was marred by penalties.
Saskatchewan was 4-for-10 on the power play, while the Cougars were
successful on three of their six opportunities with the man advantage.
The two teams combined for 46 minutes in penalties.

Saskatchewan finishes with a 16-5-3 conference record and will play
second-place Manitoba next weekend in a best-of-three Canada West
semifinal series.

The Cougars will travel to Edmonton next weekend to take on the Alberta
Pandas in the conference semifinals.

NOTES: George tied a Canada West single-season record with her 28th goal
of the season … George shares the record with Danielle Bourgeois
(Alberta, 2003-04) and Miranda Miller (Alberta, 2008-09).
