The weekend began on a high note for the Pronghorns women's basketball team Friday night in Winnipeg, as Lethbridge battled through a game of momentum swings to earn a hard-fought 67–60 victory over the Wesmen. From the opening tip, the Horns set the tone with strong defensive pressure and confident offensive execution, building an early lead and controlling the pace of play.

Lethbridge's consistency paid off as the lead grew to as many as 15 points, with the Horns finding success on both ends of the floor. Winnipeg responded with a push of its own in the fourth quarter, trimming the deficit to just one possession and turning the contest into a tense finish. With the pressure mounting, the Pronghorns stayed composed. Coming out of a crucial late timeout, Lethbridge found another gear, scoring six straight points and locking in defensively to re-establish control.
The Horns executed down the stretch, limiting Winnipeg's opportunities and closing out the game on the road. Kamryn Deklerk delivered a standout performance, leading Lethbridge with 16 points and 11 rebounds to record a double-double. The win marked an important road result and a testament to the group's ability to respond in high-pressure moments.

Saturday night brought another tough challenge as the Pronghorns closed the weekend against the Wesmen. Lethbridge competed throughout the contest, with Courtney McKee leading the Horns with 15 points and Mhari Mattuli adding nine rebounds. Despite the effort, the Horns were unable to find the same late-game rhythm as the night before and fell 68–51. Even in the loss, the weekend provided valuable experience for a group continuing to build confidence and chemistry heading into February.

On the men's side, the Pronghorns faced adversity head-on during a difficult weekend in Winnipeg. Entering Friday night with just eight available athletes, Lethbridge showed resilience and fight against one of the top teams in the country. The Horns stayed competitive early, matching Winnipeg's intensity and briefly taking the lead midway through the second quarter.

Despite the short bench, Lethbridge continued to compete defensively and stayed connected as a unit. Winnipeg eventually found separation, but the Pronghorns never backed down, continuing to battle through all four quarters. Kymani Pollard led the Horns with 15 points, continuing his consistent offensive presence. Lethbridge ultimately fell 77–47, but the performance reflected the team's willingness to compete through challenging circumstances.
Saturday brought another demanding matchup as the Horns closed the weekend against a Wesmen squad riding strong momentum. Lethbridge continued to push the tempo and attack offensively, with Pollard delivering a game-high 22 points. Bryce Solis added support offensively putting up 15 points as the Horns worked to stay aggressive and test Winnipeg's defence.

Despite Lethbridge's efforts, Winnipeg built separation early, and the Pronghorns fell 102–62. While the result did not go in their favour, the weekend served as another step in the Horns' development, offering valuable lessons and experience as the team looks ahead to the final stretch of the regular season.

Both the men's and women's basketball teams now turn their attention to Alberta, travelling to Edmonton to face the Golden Bears and Pandas on February 6 and 7.

The Pronghorns Rugby 7s program opened its Canada West season in Edmonton, competing against some of the top teams in the conference. Day one provided an immediate test, as the Horns faced elite competition and gained valuable early-season experience.

Lethbridge showed flashes of attacking speed and defensive toughness throughout the opening day, breaking through with tries from Sydney Wollbaum, Jorja Salmon, and Tayah Perry. Despite those moments, the Horns fell to the Victoria Vikes (45–10), Alberta Pandas (28–5), and UBC Thunderbirds (44–0). While the scorelines were challenging, Horns held their heads high and looked forward to day two.

Day two saw the Pronghorns return to the field with renewed determination, delivering their strongest performances of the weekend. Lethbridge pushed the Trinity Western Spartans in a competitive matchup, showing improved structure and execution before falling 26–14. The Horns then carried that momentum into their final match against Calgary.

Against the Dinos, Lethbridge jumped out to an early lead and controlled much of the first half with confident ball movement and physical play. Tries from Millie Teskey, Molly Aellen, and Seq'hiya Simmons highlighted the Horns' attacking potential and rewarded their sustained pressure. Calgary responded in the second half, edging ahead late to secure a narrow 21–17 victory, but the Pronghorns' performance reflected clear progress across the weekend.
Despite finishing the opening tournament without a win, the Horns leave Edmonton with valuable experience, momentum, and a strong foundation to build on. The Pronghorns will now regroup and prepare for the next stop on the Canada West Rugby 7s circuit, travelling to Victoria on February 7 and 8.

Across basketball and rugby, the weekend showcased the Pronghorns' resilience, competitive spirit, and commitment to growth. As the season continues, the Horns remain focused on building momentum and turning lessons learned on the road into results ahead.
