Don’t ask Dino women’s hockey team captain Mariann MacDougall who she thinks will win the Stanley Cup this year. The 20-year-old Lumsden, Saskatchewan native and third-year History major is, by her own admission, the most vocal member of the team. Outspoken and opinionated are more like it.

The other gymnasiums in the Canada West conference were kind to the Dinos women’s basketball team this season.

Led, as always, by Leighann Doan, the Dinos won 76-82… Continue reading Huskies play dead in front of Doan and Dinos
