LETHBRIDGE – Facing a third game in only nine days, the Lethbridge Pronghorn women's rugby team hosts the Alberta Pandas with the Suggitt Cup on the line.
 
The Pronghorns and Pandas will square off at the University Community Stadium Saturday at 3:00 pm. Catch the action on www.canadawest.tv, presented by CO-OP.
 
A look at the teams:
 
Heading into this week's match-up, the Pronghorns (1-3) hold a 27-0 lead for the Suggitt Cup after blanking the Pandas during the opening weekend of the Canada West season. However, after the season opening win, the Pronghorns have lost three straight games.
 
This past weekend, the Pronghorns were clipped 17-15 by the undefeated Victoria Vikes on the island and then dropped a 49-15 game two days later to a rested UBC Thunderbirds.
 
As hosts of the Canada West Championships this season, the Pronghorns are guaranteed a spot in the final four.
 
Hailey Driscoll leads the Pronghorns in tries and points heading into the five game of the season. Through four games she has scored five tries for 25 points.
 
Despite going winless in their first five games, the Pandas (0-5) have played the two-time defending Canada West Champion Calgary Dinos tough in both games, losing by identical 19-12 scores, including last weekend in Edmonton.
 
Courtney Holtkamp leads the Pandas offensively with three tries in five games. The Pandas have scored a conference low 29 points.
