Huskies have their day as Saskatchewan rolls to Bronze Baby

The Saskatchewan Huskies captured their third national championship in program history with an 85-66 victory over the Carleton Ravens in the 2025 INDOCHINO Women's Final 8 championship game on Sunday night at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre.
The Huskies (28-2, 18-2 Canada West), who avenged last year's championship game loss to Carleton, dominated from the opening tip, building a double-digit lead early and never looking back. Gage Grassick led the charge with a game-high 35 points, including seven three-pointers, and added seven assists and three steals. Her performance earned her tournament MVP honors.
Saskatchewan's offense was firing on all cylinders, shooting 48.3% from the field and 41.7% from beyond the arc. The Huskies also capitalized on their free-throw opportunities, converting 19 of 22 attempts (86.4%). Grassick was supported by Tea DeMong, who added 13 points, and Andrea Dodig, who contributed 12 points, seven rebounds, and two blocks. 
Carleton (32-4, 22-0 OUA), the defending national champions, struggled to find their rhythm offensively, shooting just 32.4% from the field and 30.8% from three-point range. Teresa Donato led the Ravens with 24 points, while Kyana Jade Poulin added 14 points and two steals. Despite a valiant effort, Carleton could not overcome Saskatchewan's relentless defense and efficient scoring. 
The Huskies set the tone early, outscoring the Ravens 24-16 in the first quarter and maintaining a comfortable lead throughout the game. Saskatchewan's defense was particularly stifling, recording seven blocks and six steals, while holding Carleton to just 10 assists. 
This marks Saskatchewan's third national title, adding to their championships in 2016 and 2020. For Carleton, the loss ends their bid for three straight national titles and gives them their first national silver medal in program history.
