Last night's 75-37 win was the first time in early ACAC women's basketball play that the Huskies had scored more than 75 points in a regulation game. They had beat University of Alberta Augustana Vikings 75-73 in overtime October 19, 2019.

The 38-point spread against the Wolves was the largest so far this season for the Huskies.

 Next closest was a 59-38 decision against the NAIT Ooks with 21 points the margin November 15, 2019.

Last year against the Wolves, the Huskies won 92-55 on home court Feb 2, 2019.

Huskies have several players that could each drop 20 points or more with Aliyah Johnson, Moiyan Toure, Kaleigh Sellers or Joy Victor.

Will today be the day that they hit the Century Mark?

It could be if head coach Dwayne Vigilance loosens the reigns. But again, he is also a sportsman raised on fair play.
