In a battle between two teams jockeying for second place in the Prairie Division of Canada West soccer, it was the University of Saskatchewan Huskies that prevailed on a blustery day inside Griffiths Stadium in Nutrien Park on Oct. 21.

Winning by a score of 2-0 means the Huskies have earned the right to host a playoff game next Saturday, Oct. 27 by finishing the regular season with a record of 6-6-2.

With the loss the Dinos finish the season third in the division with a record of 6-7-1. Calgary will have to head out on the road for their playoff game next weekend when they travel to Langley, B.C. for a date with the Trinity Western Spartans.

Tobias Hyrich-Krueger and Nikolas Baikas scored the goals in the game with Mason Ogoke tallying the lone assist in the contest.

In his final regular season game at home, fifth-year goalkeeper Greg Buckley made one save for the shutout. The victory moves Buckley's career regular season win total to 18, putting him in a tie for second on the Huskies' all-time list.

Jake Ruschkowski had a strong game for the Dinos, recording five saves in the loss.
