Lethbridge- After not skating on home ice for nearly a month, the Lethbridge Pronghorns women's hockey will finally play at Nicholas Sheran Arena this Saturday night following their fifth consecutive road game on Friday.
 
The home-and-home series with the Mount Royal Cougars kicks-off Friday night in Calgary at the Flames Community Arena with the back half going at Nicholas Sheran Arena. Puck drop for both nights is set for 7:00pm.

Saturday's game also marks the 'Horns annual cancer fundraiser game, with proceeds from the jersey auction and raffle going towards the Len Williams Foundation and the Jack Ady Cancer Centre.
 
This weekend's series pits the two lowest scoring teams against each other. Through 10 games the 'Horns have only scored 11 goals for after being shut-out three times and scoring more than one goal in a game only twice. The Cougars have scored the second fewest goals in Canada West with 13 and have been shut-out on two occasions.
 
Last weekend, the 'Horns were swept in Regina by the Cougars, suffering 4-1 and 2-0 losses, while Mount Royal was also handed a pair of losses by the Saskatchewan Huskies and are winless in eight games. The Cougars lone win came during the opening weekend of the season, a 2-1 shootout win over the Calgary Dinos.
 
As expected with the two lowest scoring teams in the conference, neither team has a player among the top 20 Canada West scorers. The Pronghorns are led by Jenae Culp with four goals and two assists and Sadie Lenstra with three goals and an assist.
 
The Cougars are led offensively Sarah Weninger (1 goal, 4 assists) and Tanika Dawson (3 goals, 1 assist).
 
Senior goaltender Crystal Patterson has played all but 20 minutes so far in the 'Horns crease, accumulating a 3.54 goals-against-average and a 0.905 save percentage.
 
Unlike the Pronghorns, the Cougars have used three goaltenders thus far season. Emma Pincott and Jess Ross have made five appearances each, while Megan Parkyn has seen action in two contests. Pincott has the far superior numbers of the three goalies, with a 2.25 goals-against average and a 0.914 save percentage.
 
The 'Horns will head to Saskatoon next weekend, before closing out the first semester of conference action the following weekend at home, hosting the Regina Cougars.
