HUSKIES 33 RAMS 15

REGINA, Sask. – The University of Regina Rams’ season ended on Saturday afternoon with a 33-15 loss to No. 10-ranked Saskatchewan in a sloppy Canada West game at Mosaic Stadium.

The two teams combined for 14 turnovers, including eight for the Rams alone as they gave up the ball six times on interceptions, once on a fumble, and once on downs. Four of Saskatchewan’s six turnovers came off fumbles, while the other two were off interceptions.

Cayman Shutter was 22-for-36 for the Rams, but was picked off five times by the Huskies. Catlin Schneider was the team’s leading receiver with eight catches for 69 yards, while Rory Copithorn and Richard Sindani both had touchdown receptions. John Kiesman came on in relief of Shutter late in the third quarter and ended up going 4-for-6 for 92 yards and a touchdown.

Jens Johnson got his first career start at running back for the Rams and ended up with 14 rushes for a total of 61 yards. Jordy Kibamba had an interception and a pair of pass breakups for the Rams’ defence, while Patrick MacDonald also had a pick and Tevaughn Campbell recovered a pair of fumbles. Jeff Propp was in on a team-high eight tackles and also had a sack and a fumble recovery.

The Rams finish the season in fifth place in Canada West with a 2-6 record and miss the postseason for the first time since the 2005 campaign.
