Riders move on to eastern finals after 31-20 win in Ottawa
The Riders packed their bags for a long stay and now they’ll get at least another week in Ontario.
Saskatchewan defeated the Ottawa Redblacks in the eastern semi-final 31-20 and will move on to face Toronto next Sunday in the eastern final.
The Riders win marks just the fourth time a western team has won the eastern semi-final since the crossover began in 1996.
The Roughriders started the game off right with a six play 79-yard drive down the field, capped by a 29-yard touchdown pass to Bakari Grant to give the green and white an early lead.
