With a game to spare before the end of the season, the Lancers Women’s Hockey Team secured a spot in the playoffs with a shutout of the Western Mustangs last weekend.
 The Lancers were in the tough position in the midst of a two-game losing streak, and were trying to maintain their fifth place position in the OUA. The Mustangs were fighting for their playoff lives as well, but were eliminated from contention with the loss.
With the high scoring first-place Laurier Golden Hawks closing out the Lancers’ regular season, the ladies were fighting to get the points at hand instead of trying their luck with the best team in the OUA. >>

The Windsor Lancers men’s basketball team picked up their eighth straight win as they steamrolled over the visiting Waterloo Warriors last Wednesday, 99-54, strengthening their first place position in the OUA west division.
In the first quarter, the Lancers lost the tip-off and didn’t move well from there, as they trailed the Warriors 12-6 with 5:25 left. This forced head coach Chris Oliver to act, and he later recalled that the team looked initially “sluggish” and that they had to be reminded “they were playing against a CIS team.” Oliver changed all five players on the court, and the Lancers exploded offensively on a 13-point run, ending the quarter with a 21-14 lead. >>
