Two other Huskies finished in double figures, as the home side was 49% from the field.

Logan Reider had a 13-point effort, while Anna Maelde had 11. Saskatchewan is now 2 and 2 in the Canada West Prairie Division Standings. The Bisons committed 28 turnovers, and in turn gave up 29 points. Anna Miko had a team-high 14 points in a losing effort for Manitoba.

On the men’s side the Huskies were on the losing end of another tight contest to Manitoba, dropping a 70-67 contest. The Huskies, despite trailing by 6 after the first quarter, held a 4-point lead heading in the fourth quarter. However, Manitoba outscored Saskatchewan 21-14 in the final 10 minutes.

Huskie guard Emmanuel Bonsu had 20 points and 4 assists in just over 36 minutes of action. Easton Thimm, who recorded a mid-teen double-double in the home opener Friday night, finished with 9 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists.
