Individually, Amelie Collin is closing in the Canada West record for career steals. The fifth year from Rimouski, Que., already broke the program record earlier this year and now sits at 291 with six games still on the schedule.

Saskatchewan comes into the weekend with a perfect 14-0 record and ranked as the No. 1 team in the nation. They are tied with Regina for the lead in the loaded Prairie Division that boasts four teams ranked in the U SPORTS top 10. Both Gage Grassick and Logan Reider are averaging more than 17.0 points per game for the highest scoring team in the country.
Last season, the Dinos opened the season with two thrilling home wins over the Huskies. That snapped a four-game skid in the head-to-head series that has seen numerous memorable battles between two of the premier programs in the country over the past decade.
