CALGARY – The University of Calgary Dinos women's soccer team enters another Crowchild Classic matchup against the Mount Royal Cougars as the top-ranked team in U SPORTS for the second week in a row. 

After improving to a 4-0 record against the Lethbridge Pronghorns last weekend, the Dinos head into Week 4 of Canada West action preparing for a Cougars team (1-3) they opened the season against.

The two-game set will take place on Friday and Saturday, with both matches starting at 5 p.m. at Dinosaur Field.

LEONARD LEADING THE WAY
Dinos midfielder Montana Leonard is off to a fantastic start in her fifth year of action for the Dinos. Leonard netted a hat trick while leading the team to a 4-0 victory against the Pronghorns last weekend. Leonard has started the season with seven goals in four games. With last weekend's fantastic performance, Leonard has moved up to a tie for 20th in goal scoring history in Canada West.
