Tessa Klassen women’s basketball	Tess Klassen’s hustle on defence and sharp shooting on offence helped the Bisons women’s basketball team to a weekend sweep over the University of Brandon Lady Bobcats. Klassen finished with 42 points (including seven makes from downtown), and added six steals as well.
Nick Cowan men’s hockey	With playoff implications on the line, and in hostile territory, Nick Cowan’s three-point weekend helped propel the Bisons men’s hockey team two a two-game road-sweep of the UBC Thunderbirds. Cowan had an assist on each of Manitoba’s first two goals in the first game, then opened up the scoring in the second game.
Braeden Taylor swimming	Taylor’s strong performance at the Canada West Championships over the weekend helped the men’s swimming team finish in fifth spot with 185 points — a 22 point improvement from last year. The highlight of Taylor’s weekend was his gold medal performance in the 200-metre backstroke.
