1) Women's Basketball Takes Down BYU in a Double OT Thriller
Backed by a strong performance by Michaela Rakova (more on her later) the Dons got hot in the fourth quarter and that carried them through two overtimes as they outlasted the Cougars at War Memorial at the Sobrato Center on Saturday.

Competing at the Husky Classic, Marie Bouchard broke an almost six-year-old record in the 3,000 meters, finishing with a time of 9:10.95! Another record was set on Saturday in the 4x400 meter relay. The team of Maya Reynolds, Samantha Lind, Emma Stahr and Alena Ulrichova finished the race with a time of 3:51.28, beating the previous school record, set in 2014, by a little over one second.
