WINNIPEG, Man. - Coming off arguably their biggest win of the season, the Winnipeg Wesmen didn't let up on Friday against the Saskatchewan Huskies.

The Wesmen held the Dogs to 23 first-half points and otherwise cruised to a 73-57 Canada West conference victory Friday night at the Duckworth Centre.

Winnipeg held the Huskies (0-11) to nine second-quarter points and an early 9-2 run that straddled the first and second quarters allowed the Wesmen to take a 15-12 edge and stretch it to 24-14 just six seconds into the second on a Kato Jaro three. 

The Wesmen held the Huskies to five points over the final 7:40 of the half, using a 15-5 run that gave them a 39-23 lead at the half. 

Luke also added six rebounds and three assists in leading three Wesmen in double figures. All 11 Wesmen player saw the floor.
