The Bears advance to face Calgary Dinos in Calgary in another Best-of-3 next weekend. Hometown Bears take game 3 with ease plus Alberta/Saskatchewan Box Score article from Jason Hills of Sun Media in the Edmonton Sun It took three but Bears put Huskies away

Regina 83, Winnipeg 49 6'4" Bryden Wright scored 22 points and added 12 rebounds as the Cougars blasted out to a 21 point halftime lead in front of a season-high 1,199 fans to sweep their Great Plains division semi-final series.
