Thunderbirds winger Kathleen Cahoon was excellent over the weekend, helping the ‘Birds earn a split against the Manitoba Bisons in their final weekend of the regular season. More importantly, Cahoon’s performance helped the ‘Birds secure the right to host a Canada West playoff game.
 
Cahoon was everywhere during last Friday’s 4-2 win, as the Calgarian notched a hat trick to power the ‘Birds over the Bisons. The 6-foot-1 Cahoon not only opened the scoring in the contest, but after Manitoba answered with two of their own, it was the winger’s back-to-back third period markers that got the T-Birds back out in front for good.
 
On Saturday morning, Cahoon’s goal just four minutes into the third frame helped the T-Birds tie the game up at 3-3, though they eventually fell by a 4-3 final. 


Brisebois and her squad get back to action this weekend against the Saskatchewan Huskies. The two sides will clash at War Memorial Gym, with the first matchup of the two-game series set to go at 6:00 p.m. (PT) on Friday, February 12.
