Saskatchewan heads back to gold medal game after trouncing UBC

The Saskatchewan Huskies advanced to the championship game of the 2025 INDOCHINO U SPORTS Women's Final 8 with a dominant 85-63 victory over the UBC Thunderbirds in the first semifinal at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre in Vancouver, Saturday. The Huskies, led by a balanced scoring attack and strong defensive play, controlled the game from start to finish, building a 26-12 lead after the first quarter and never looking back.
 
Andrea Dodig was a standout for Saskatchewan, scoring 19 points on 8-of-13 shooting, including 2-of-3 from beyond the arc. Ella Murphy Wiebe added 15 points and 9 rebounds, while Gage Grassick contributed 12 points and 5 assists. The Huskies shot 51.6% from the field and outrebounded UBC 44-30.
 
UBC struggled offensively, shooting just 35% from the field and committing 22 turnovers. Mona Berlitz led the Thunderbirds with 15 points, but the team couldn't overcome a slow start and the Huskies' relentless pressure. Saskatchewan's defense held UBC to just 12 points in the first quarter, setting the tone for the rest of the game.
 
The Thunderbirds will close out the tournament on Sunday at noon (all times Pacific) in the bronze medal game.
 
The Huskies will now await the winner of the second semifinal between the Carleton Ravens and the Ottawa Gee-Gees, with the championship game set for Sunday at 4 p.m. (Pacific time). Sunday's championship will be telecast on Sportsnet in English and TVA Sports in French.
