A goal by Alyssa D’Agnone, in injury time Saturday, has secured the University of Saskatchewan Huskies women’s soccer team a berth in the Canada West postseason, but dashed the playoff hopes of the host Regina Cougars, with a final score of 1-1.

Regina scored in the ninth minute and looked poised to keep their playoff dreams alive until the final minutes of the game, when Laura Steacy connected on a long pass to D’Agnone, who beat three defenders and Regina goalkeeper Kareena Anderson to score her ninth goal of the season.
