The Pronghorns (2-9-2) had their most successful weekend of the season in their last action, beating southern Alberta rival Calgary Dinos 4-2 on Friday and then earning a hard fought 2-2 tie with the top team in the Prairie Division Mount Royal Cougars on Sunday.
Second year striker Kai Sakaguchi led the way for the Pronghorns will three goals in the two games and named both the Canada West and U SPORTS Men's Soccer Player of the Week. Sakaguchi now leads the Pronghorns in goals this season with five.
Karim Bey and Danilo Morales sit tie for second on the team in goal scoring with three each.
The Huskies (2-7-4), who beat the Pronghorns 3-0 to open the season, still have an outside chance of qualifying the Canada West post-season.

Last weekend at home, the Huskies tied the MRU Cougar 0-0, but lost to the Calgary Dinos 3-2.
Offensively, the Huskies are led by the duo of Kuhle Bekwayo and Ahmend Mohammed, who have accounted for more than half of the 17 goals scored by the Huskies this season. Bekwayo leads the Huskies with five goals, while Mohammed has picked up four goals.
