UNDEFEATED! Congratulations to the Huskie women’s basketball team on the perfect regular season.

Join us in congratulating our #USask student athletes on this milestone after their 84-54 victory this past weekend!

#HuskiePride | #PowerOfThePack
A basketball player from the Huskies team is on the court, arms raised. Teammates and coaches are visible on the sideline, reacting with excitement. The crowd fills the stands, and a "Saskatoon StarPhoenix" sign is illuminated on the sidelines. A basketball team in green "Huskies" uniforms stands enthusiastically on the sidelines of a court, cheering and clapping. The crowd in the background is seated, observing the game intently. A basketball player from the Huskies team, wearing a green jersey with the number 1, is in mid-air making a layup with a Wilson basketball. Another player from the Winnipeg team, in a red jersey numbered 8, is reaching up on the left side of the image. The background shows a gymnasium with banners hanging from the ceiling. A basketball game scene with a player from the Huskies dribbling the ball while being guarded by an opponent from the team in red. The game is taking place indoors with spectators visible in the background. The arena has banners, including one that reads "THAT'S NOT THE WIND HOWLING."
