Fresh off a home sweep of provincial rival Alberta, the University of Calgary Dinos women's basketball (14-4) team closes out regular season on its home court this weekend with two games against city rival Mount Royal (10-8). Friday's opener is set for 6 p.m., while Saturday's rematch - which will also serve as Senior Day - is set for a 4 p.m. start inside the Jack Simpson Gym.
The Dinos picked up two signature wins this past weekend with a pair of wins over Alberta in a battle of two top-10 programs.

With those wins, the Dinos sit in third place in the league standings heading into the final weekend.
A milestone achievement is well within reach heading into this weekend's homestand, as fifth-year senior Amélie Collin enters the weekend with 302 career steals - just six shy of tying the Canada West record of 308 set by Alberta's Ashley Wigg back in 2009.

The Dinos are 19-1 against their city rivals since MRU joined Canada West over a decade ago. Last year, Calgary posted wins by 19 and 23 points on the Mount Royal campus. The Cougars' lone win in the series came on Feb. 4, 2022.
