The Saskatchewan Huskies women's hockey team seems to like a marathon playoff home game every couple of years. Game 3 of the CW women's hockey quarter-finals went down Sunday in Saskatoon, as Saskatchewan needed triple-overtime to eventually down the Mount Royal Cougars 2-1 thanks to Rachel Lundberg's goal.
The game lasted a total of 119:49, making it the fourth longest overtime game in CW women's hockey history. The Huskies have now been involved in three of the top four, with all of their entries in the CW record book coming in Saskatoon. Back in 2016, the Huskies and Manitoba Bisons combined for the longest game in CW women's hockey history (139:02), as the Bisons won 2-1 in the fifth overtime period.

There was more overtime magic over the weekend, as the Calgary Dinos needed two overtime periods Saturday night to down the Lethbridge Pronghorns in the pair's CW men's hockey quarter-final. After earning a convincing 5-1 win in Game 1 Friday, the Dinos needed a goal from Chris Rauckman early in the second overtime period to get past the 'Horns 4-3. The win sealed the Dinos quarter-final sweep, as Lethbridge will have to sit back and watch the rest of the playoffs play out, before hosting the University Cup March 14-17.

For the first time since 1995, the Lethbridge Pronghorns women's basketball team will be playing in a CW semifinal. Thanks to a two-game sweep of the Alberta Pandas over the weekend in the quarters, Lethbridge is headed to the conference semifinals against the No. 1 Saskatchewan Huskies. The GIF used by the 'Horns after the win captures what we guess the reaction was back in Lethbridge, as the No. 6 seed upset the No. 4 Pandas in Edmonton.

The Brandon Bobcats clinched top spot in men's volleyball Friday night, before the team added another win for good measure Saturday night against the MacEwan Griffins. With the victories, BU heads into the playoffs riding a 16-game winning streak. The Bobcats last loss came back on Nov. 10 against MRU. Since then, Brandon has been dominant, dropping just four sets over their winning streak. Now, BU faces the No. 8 Calgary Dinos in a best-of-three CW quarter-final series beginning Thursday night in Brandon.

Schmidt earned top spot, surpassing former TRU WolfPack Brad Gunter's mark of 1,710 Friday night. By the time the weekend was over, Schmidt finished the season with 378.5 points, good for a career total of 1,747. Next up for Schmidt - a quarter-final playoff series with the Saskatchewan Huskies.
