REGINA  – The University of Regina's women's volleyball team defeated the Calgary Dinos in four sets on Saturday night in a Canada West match at the Centre for Kinesiology, Health & Sport (25-14, 21-25, 25-15, 25-18).

BOX SCORE

The Cougars opened the match with a 25-14 win in the first set, but Calgary replied with a 25-21 win in the second.

Regina came out flying in the third set, leading 8-1 at the first media timeout and 16-3 at the second. The Cougars ended up with a 25-15 win in the third and clinched the match with a 25-18 win in the fourth set.

"Regina came out and defended with great determination tonight," said Calgary head coach Jesse Knight. "Unfortunately that combined with our large number of errors resulted in the loss."

Playing in her final regular season home match as a Cougar, fifth-year middle Beth Clark led Regina with 11 kills. Meagan Onstad, Solveig Nilson, and Kaitlyn Hughes each had eight kills for the Cougars, while Hughes added a match-high 19 digs. Tiffany Herman had 35 assists and 13 digs to record the match's lone double-double.

Raynell Lavertu had a team-leading 11 kills for Calgary and fell just one dig short of a double-double. Bethany Enge led the Dinos with 15 digs, while Laura Spence had a match-high six total blocks.

The win improves No. 6-ranked Regina's record to 10-6. The Cougars will need to catch at least one of Brandon (12-4), Manitoba (12-5), or Alberta (12-6) for the right to host a first-round playoff series.

Calgary's record drops to 7-9 with the loss. The Dinos return home to host the Brandon Bobcats in a pivotal two-game series next weekend in the Jack Simpson Gym.
