Pronghorns men's hockey, as well as the men's and women's basketball teams, all have home dates this weekend as Canada West action comes to the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge campus.

Men's Hockey

The Horns (3-6-1 CW, 7-11-1 overall) host the defending Canada West champion and CIS second ranked Alberta Golden Bears (8-1-1CW, 11-2-1 overall) Friday and Saturday nights at Nicholas Sheran Arena (7 p.m. puck drop).

The Horns look to put an end to a four-game losing streak, while the Bears have won three straight after sweeping UBC in Vancouver last weekend.

After only dressing 14 players in Saskatoon over the Halloween weekend, the Horns are slowly getting healthy and should have all but two players back from injury. All three of the Horns wins this season have come at home, while the Bears have yet to lose in regulation time on the road. Their only road blemish is a 3-2 shootout loss in Calgary.

Women's Basketball

The women's basketball team (0-4 CW, 6-6 overall) hopes to end some early woes and pick up its first victory of the regular season after being swept last weekend by the Regina Cougars. The Horns held leads both nights last weekend in the fourth quarter but were unable hold on versus the fourth ranked Regina Cougars.

This weekend's opponents, Fraser Valley Cascades (0-2 CW) and Thompson Rivers WolfPack (2-0 CW) are coming off bye weeks, with the WolfPack sweeping the Cascades during the conference-opening weekend.

Friday night the Horns face the WolfPack, followed by the Cascades Saturday. Tip-off for both Friday and Saturday nights is 6 p.m. at the 1st Choice Savings Centre.

Men's Basketball

The men's basketball team (1-3 CW, 3-6 overall) looks to gain some momentum after a convincing 16-point victory over the Regina Cougars in their series finale last Saturday. Despite struggling offensively, hitting on less than 30 per cent of their shots, the Horns played tough defence, only surrendering 54 points and found a way to win.

Thompson Rivers (0-2 CW) and Fraser Valley (2-0 CW) are coming off their bye weeks. During the opening weekend of conference action, the Cascades swept Thompson Rivers in Kamloops.

Former Pronghorns' guard Barnaby Craddock coaches the Horns' Saturday night opponent, Fraser Valley.

Tip-off is scheduled to follow the women's game both nights at approximately 8 p.m.

Horns Swimming

The swim team hosts Memorial ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ from St John's, Newfoundland for a dual meet Saturday afternoon, beginning at 3 p.m. at the Max Bell Aquatic Centre.

Women's Hockey

The women's hockey team (3-3 CW, 6-6 overall) will finally return to the ice after being off for the past two weeks.

The Horns face a tough task as they travel to Edmonton to face the perennial women's hockey power Alberta Pandas (10-0 CW).

The Pandas have only surrendered 9 goals in 10 conference games and are coming off a home sweep of the UBC Thunderbirds last weekend.

Puck drops both nights at Clare Drake Arena in Edmonton at 7 p.m.

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Pronghorns men's hockey team needs to get back in the win column but it will not be an easy task this weekend when they head to Edmonton to face the Alberta Golden Bears.

The Pronghorns (12-10-0) have followed an eight-game winning streak with a four-game losing skid and while they still have a hold on fourth place in the Canada West standings, the race is tightening. The Bears (18-2-2) are defending Canada West and CIS champions and swept the Horns in their first meeting of the season.

Basketball

The Pronghorn basketball teams will conclude their home schedules this weekend at the 1st Choice Savings Centre gym when they play host to ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Saskatchewan Huskies.

Having both been eliminated from post-season contention, the Pronghorns are both looking to build for next season.

The women's team (4-16) looks to finish on a positive note but will face a tough challenge in the Central Division leading and CIS third-ranked Huskies (17-3).

The Horns have had a solid second half, upsetting three quality Canada West opponents, including two nationally-ranked teams. The Huskies have clinched top spot in the division and will have a bye in the opening round of the playoffs.

The men's team (4-16) has won only one of its last 14 games after a 3-3 start to the year and is currently on a 10-game losing skid. They'll meet a Huskies team that is 9-11 on the year, having gone 8-8 since winning just one of their first four starts.
