After a mere two-point loss to the Guelph Gryphons, the Lancers Men’s Basketball Team took a lesson learned and applied it to shut down the Western Mustangs.
Coach Chris Oliver elaborated, “The last two days in practice they didn’t really need me at practice ‘cause they knew what happened on Saturday night wasn’t good. And they competed so hard and they were so physical in practice and so aggressive that I just had to remind them that ‘Hey, it’s going to be hard. You’ve got to do everything you do in this game hard. Run hard offense, compete every defensive possession, and be physical.’” >>

After a disappointing start to the back-to-back double-header against the Queen’s Golden Gaels this weekend, losing 8-3, the Lancers stormed back to beat them 4-1 the following night at the Adie Knox Arena, winning Head Coach Pete Belliveau his 200th career win.
Queen’s opened the scoring in the first period as Mike Brisebois snuck in a turnover unassisted. But the Lancers responded, as rookie Kyle Nishizaki struck again after being fed an excellent pass by Josh Gaynor. He was right in front and made a great deke to score high glove side on the Queen’s net-minder, Brady Morrison. Bradyn Melrose also drew an assist on the scoring play. >>

The Lancers Women’s Basketball Team took down one of their most difficult opponents with a solid outing last Wednesday against the Western Mustangs. With a competitive battle for the playoffs in the next few weeks, winning tough points against the top teams in their division like Western (2nd) and McMaster (1st) will be challenging imperatives.
The Lancers started the night off with an early lead on the Mustangs, and fought to get tough shots from in close. Some quick plays from Shavaun Reaney, Marissa Bozzetto and Dranadia Roc put the Lancers out in front with a first quarter score of 25-15.
Raelyn Prince and Iva Peklova shut down the Western offense with an excellent, tall-standing defensive effort. >>
