Brandon, MB (CKLQ) – The return of Erica Scott proved to be just what the Cougars (2-6) needed as Assiniboine rolled to back-to-back wins at home against the Providence Pilots (0-4).
On Friday, Scott returned and helped lead the attack with nine kills in a sweep (25-20, 25-10, 25-10) over the Pilots.

Jordanna Chartrand chipped in with nine digs while Kalin Winter had 19 assists.
Saturday was a carbon copy of the previous night as the Cougars took three straight sets (27-25, 25-12, 25-23).

Jessi Coulter was instrumental in the victory with 13 digs, three kills and two aces.
