Â
She's already one of the most decorated and accomplished players in program history, and now in her fourth season in Regina, Jade Belmore has launched out of the gates. The 5'10" wing has posted 15-or-more points in all four Cougar games so far and has earned two double-doubles so far. With 19.8 points-per-game to her credit so far, Belmore heads into this weekend as the conference leader in scoring while also currently sitting seventh in rebounding. Not bad for the reigning conference MVP and scoring leader from a season ago.

Â
After missing the entirety of last season due to injury, third-year Calgary guard
Sarah Kuklisin has returned to the TWolves starting lineup and has provided solid two-way minutes. Offensively, Kuklisin is averaging 7.7 points-per-game white sitting second in steals with 2.7 per game. Her intensity on the defensive side of the floor, coupled with her ability to sink a big shot, or distribute well makes her a key cog in the UNBC Timberwolves wheel. A big weekend from Kuklisin will go a long way in helping UNBC return to the win column.
