A look at the teams
 
Rebounding from a loss to the Alberta Pandas from a week prior, the Pronghorns (1-2) rebounded to beat the Pandas 17-13 last Saturday and erased a two point deficit to keep the Suggitt Cup. The Pronghorns have claimed four of five Suggitt Cups, an annual two game aggregate with the Pandas.
 
Super senior Prop Savanna Collison leads the Pronghorns in scoring with three tries, while fellow senior Keegan Brantner has scored two tries this season.
 
The Vikes (1-1), who beat the Pronghorns twice last season, including in the Canada West semi-final, opened the season with a 45-24 loss to the UBC Thunderbirds. Last weekend at home, the Vikes beat the Calgary Dinos 42-12.
 
Lucie Romeo and Carissa Norsten lead the Vikes in scoring with two tries each.
 
The two-time defending Canada West Champion UBC Thunderbirds (2-0) have been the class of the Canada West, going undefeated in conference play last year and opening this season with two convincing wins. In addition to the win over the Vikes, the U SPORTS second ranked T-Birds shutout the Dinos last week 41-0.
