By Kirstin Unrau Lance Writer November 7, 2007 Last Wednesday, the Lancers Women’s basketball team laid a smacking down against the Guelph Gryphons, defeating them for their home-opener 75-52.
The Lancers controlled the game from the opening minute gaining a strong lead right from the start. “The Gryphons are considered a tough team to beat, therefore we knew we had to come out strong and prove what we are truly capable of,” said the Lancer’s Amy Bakos, a second-year native of Montreal. The Lancers knew that Guelph finished third overall last year, but that didn’t affect their win.
Throughout the game the Lancers kept their defense up. Amy Bakos fought for a game-high 13 rebounds. Emily Abbott, a 5’8”, first year guard, battled it out for many loose balls, contributing to the strong defense. And by the end of the first half the score was a 14-point spread in favour of the Lancers, who led 39-25. >>  | | Campus Kiss

Eric Vandenbroucke, Marketing Manager for the Department of Athletics, said “[The University and Spitfires] will be working closely together to build a foundation between the two programs that helps integrate Spitfire players within the University of Windsor so they can pursue their post secondary education while hopefully continuing their hockey careers with the Lancers.”
He continued, “This initiative will include a university liaison for the Spitfires, annual workshops and university tours for Spitfire parents and players, and joint community events with the Lancer hockey program.” >> |
