University of Saskatchewan's Jesse Ross and Parker Thomas each scored in the shootout to lift the Huskies 2-1 over the visiting University of Regina Cougars Saturday night in Saskatoon's Rutherford Rink.

Huskies' leading scorer Ross scored the first shootout goal by beating Regina netminder Lucas Gore with a shot that flipped into the top of the net.
