Playoff dreams dashed for Lancer football By Tanya Quaglia
Lance Writer October 22, 2008 This past Saturday, the Lancer football team’s dreams for making the playoffs came to a disheartening end.
In the final football game of the season, and a must-win situation, the Lancers fell to the McMaster Marauders 40-11, putting them where no team ever wants to be – one spot out of the playoffs.
 Both teams came out knowing it was do-or-die time. The winner would earn themselves the sixth and final playoff seed.
A field goal by kicker, Robert Eeuwes, gave the Lancers a 3-2 lead halfway through the first quarter.
Shortly later, the Marauders regained the lead and never looked back.
Early in the second quarter, McMaster scored their second touchdown, further extending their growing lead. >> | Lancer rugby's season ends in tough home loss By Michal Tellos
Sports Editor October 22, 2008 The Lancers rugby team lost their last game of the season to the Laurier Golden Hawks for the second time this season, this time by a much closer score of 10-0.
The loss ends Windsor’s season with a record of 1-5-1, last in the OUA West.
 The final game was, however, a vast improvement over the last meeting between the two squads, where the result was 71-5 Laurier.
It was a close game to the very end.
“It was 0-0 for 65 minutes or so. Good game, we just tried to do a little too much offensively when we did get the ball and doing too much sometimes causes turnovers. It looked like we just ran out of fitness at the end and they took a couple tries on us and that was it,” said head coach Andrew Ciavaglia. >>  | | Campus Kiss | | Fastpitch falls in quarters of Championships By Michal Tellos
Sports Editor October 22, 2008 The Lancers women’s fastpitch team ended their season on Sunday by getting knocked out of the quarter-finals by the McMaster Marauders in the Ontario Intercollegiate Women’s Fastpitch Association Championship by a score of 4-3.
The loss came after a win against the Queen’s Golden Gaels and a loss against the Ottawa Gee-Gees and the Laurier Golden Hawks on Saturday.
The Sunday loss was a very close game in which the Lancers blew a three-run lead later on in the game.
“It was Mac’s home game so we were up first and we scored one run. We scored a couple more runs to make it 3-0 and then McMaster got a run and made it 3-1 going into the bottom of the seventh. They just got some back-to-back singles and we blew the lead and we lost the game 4-3 in the bottom of the seventh,” said head coach Paula Stamatiadis. >> |
