Logan Reider’s historic performance
In a stunning display of skill and determination, Logan Reider of the University of Saskatchewan Huskies made headlines last Saturday with an unforgettable performance against the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack. From the very first possession, Reider demonstrated her prowess by sinking a three-pointer, setting the tone for what would become a record-breaking night.
By the end of the game, she had amassed an astonishing 40 points, marking one of the most efficient performances in U Sports women’s basketball history.
“It was kind of an out of body experience,” Reider reflected on her performance.
“I can’t even explain what it was like.” Her ability to remain composed and focused allowed her to capitalize on open shots, leading to a remarkable 11-for-14 success rate from beyond the arc. This feat not only shattered the all-time Canada West record for three-pointers in a game but also tied the national U Sports record held by Brittany Moore and Sandra Carroll.
Breaking barriers and setting records
Reider’s achievement is particularly significant as it surpasses the previous program record of 39 points set by Huskies legend Sarah Crooks. “I just see all these strong females up there on the leaderboard,” she said, expressing her disbelief at joining such esteemed company.
“The fact that I’m one of those names now is just surreal.” Her performance has not only elevated her status within the team but also among aspiring athletes who look up to her as a role model.
Head coach Lisa Thomaidis praised Reider’s performance, noting that it is just the beginning of what she can achieve.
“She probably bought herself being face-guarded for the rest of the season,” Thomaidis remarked, acknowledging the challenges that come with such a standout performance. However, she believes that Reider’s ability to adapt will only enhance her skills as a player.
Looking ahead: The future of the Huskies
As the Huskies head into the new year with a 6-2 record, Reider’s contributions have been invaluable. Averaging 15.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, she has played a crucial role in the team’s success. “I’ve put in a lot of hard work to get to where I am now,” Reider stated, emphasizing her commitment to continuous improvement. With the first games of 2025 approaching, the Huskies are poised to build on their momentum as they prepare to face the Mount Royal Cougars at home.
As the excitement builds for the upcoming games, fans and teammates alike are eager to see how Reider will continue to evolve as a player. Her record-breaking night is not just a personal achievement; it symbolizes the potential of the Huskies as they strive for greatness in U Sports basketball.
