The University of Regina Rams are BioSteel Hardy Cup champions after defeating the rival University of Saskatchewan Huskies 19-14 in Saskatoon on Saturday in the first all-Saskatchewan Canada West final in 22 years.
The Huskies led 14-11 at halftime, but the Rams scored eight points in the third quarter to pull ahead for good.
Both teams finished with 19 first downs and 300-plus yards total offence.
Rams‘ quarterback Noah Pelletier was 23 of 33 passing for 228 yards and one touchdown. Anton Amundrud of the Huskies was 29 of 43 passing for 230 yards and two TDs, but he was picked off four times.
The win gives the Rams their second conference championship in program history and first since 2000.
The Rams will now host the U SPORTS Mitchell Bowl against RSEQ champion Laval Rouge et Or on Saturday, Nov. 16 at Mosaic Stadium in Regina.
