 Women's basketball
The Windsor Lancers women’s basketball team improved to 14-7 last week after two key road games, defeating the Guelph Gryphons 64-59 on Thursday night, and the Laurier Golden Hawks 87-44 on Saturday night, allowing them to clinch home court advantage for the first time in Lancer history. This will be the team’s first trip to the post season since 2000-01.
The Lancers put in a team effort against the Gryphons, with four players scoring in the double digits, including Iva Peklova, who scored 14 points and made 12 rebounds picking up a double-double. The Lancers out-scored their opponent in all but one quarter, managing to defeat them in a close game, which clinched the third seed in the OUA west division
The outcome wasn’t nearly as close on Saturday afternoon, when the Lancers handily flattened the Golden Hawks. Dranadia Roc led the team with 32 points. Iva Peklova also played well, picking up 15 rebounds.
The women’s Lancers, who have never finished so well, have one regular season game remaining – at home against the league-leading McMaster Marauders on Feb. 13 at 6 p.m.
