Huskies trio named athletes of week

U of S Huskies players swept all three Canada West Conference football athlete of the week awards and two of the three U SPORTS national weekly awards.

Fifth-year running back Tyler Chow was named the CW offensive player of the week, defensive back Nelson Lokombo took the CW defensive honour and kicker Sean Stenger was named CW special teams player of the week on Tuesday.

Chow and Stenger went on to receive the national honours in the same categories Wednesday.

The three stars helped the Huskies to a 43-18 upset win over the previously undefeated Calgary Dinos in the Canada West final on Saturday.

Chow rushed for 222 yards and two touchdowns, Lokombo made a key interception late in the second quarter to set up a Huskies touchdown and Stenger accounted for 13 Saskatchewan points in the victory. RUSH PRE-SEASON GAME CANCELLED

Labour strife in the National Lacrosse League has caused the Saskatchewan Rush pre-season game to be cancelled on Friday. The NLL is working toward a resolution on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with the Professional Lacrosse Players Assocation (PLPA). A lack of agreement has led to the game cancellation. The Rush announced that season ticket holders and all other fans who have purchased tickets to that game will receive full refunds.
