The Dinos scored a 4-3 win on Friday, but the Cougars recovered with a 2-1 victory on Saturday night. Rianne Wight had a huge weekend for Regina, scoring twice on Friday and adding another two – including the game winner with four minutes left – during the win on Saturday.

Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. on both nights.

Rams Football (CIS Ranking: No. 4) – The Rams return to the field on Saturday after the bye week against the Manitoba Bisons, who are tied for fifth in the conference with a 1-4 record.

Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. CDT at University Stadium in Winnipeg, and Michael Ball and Chad Ehman will have the call live on 620 CKRM.

The team went into the weekend without injured all-conference post Brittany Read, then lost backup post Anne Mercer – who was starting in place of Read – early in the Laurentian game. The Cougars, who are 4-1 against CIS competition this season, continue their non-conference schedule this weekend in Winnipeg.

Cross Country (Men’s CIS Ranking: No. 8) – The men’s and women’s cross country teams will travel south for the Minot State Invitational on Friday afternoon. The Cougars have just two meets remaining on the schedule, including the Stewart Cup (Oct. 30) in Calgary and the CIS Championships (Nov. 13) in Sherbrooke, Que., where the U of R men’s team will attempt to repeat as conference champs.

Men’s Volleyball – The Manitoba Bisons put up a perfect 5-0 record to win the 2010 Cougar Invitational, a six-team, three-day non-conference men’s volleyball tournament at the CKHS. The host Cougars pushed three of their matches to five sets, but ended up in sixth place with an 0-5 record. Regina will have non-conference matches against SAIT and Mount Royal on Oct. 22 and Oct. 23 before opening up the Canada West schedule in early November.
