The University of Lethbridge Pronghorns put together another dominant weekend, stringing together five wins highlighted by strong individual performances and dramatic finishes. The weekend began with an 11–1 victory over SAIT, powered by Brynlee Rice’s perfect 3-for-3 day that included a three-run home run. The offense exploded early, while pitcher Katelyn Giesbrecht and reliever Rory Lumgair kept the Trojans in check.

Momentum carried into a tight contest with the University of Victoria, where the Pronghorns edged out a 6–5 win thanks to late-game execution. Devyn Rice’s alert base running provided the winning run, while Logan Chin delivered three scoreless innings of relief to preserve the victory. Lethbridge followed that up with a commanding 4–1 win over Mount Royal, as Giesbrecht struck out 11 batters and Molly Conrad supplied the big swing with a three-run homer in the fifth inning.
