Keyano Huskies secured a hard fought 55-44 victory over the Concordia Thunder. Despite Thunder struggling from the field, shooting just 28.1% and going 0-20 from beyond the arc, they fought hard defensively and managed to keep the game competitive.
Keyano was led by Danika Cadieux, who had a standout performance with 24 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 steals. She was perfect from the free-throw line, hitting all 7 attempts. Emma Tomchuk added 12 points and hit two 3-pointers, while Jaylynn Twin contributed 13 points and 7 rebounds off the bench.

Keyano's 35 rebounds and 93.3% free-throw shooting helped them stay in control, and despite 23 turnovers, their defence and rebounding made the difference.
