Grace denies head coaching rumours By Michal Tellos Sports Editor October 29, 2008 After a considerably disappointing season, it is natural for any sports team to have rumours surround its staff. Lancer football has been no exception in the past week.
 One rumour that has been gained some attention is the removal of Head Coach Mike Morencie in favour of Gord Grace, Director of Athletics.
However, Grace, denies such allegations, dismissing the claim as something that is both impossible and undesirable to him.
The rumours began when Grace stated in the Windsor Star that the football program would undergo an extensive review after a very disappointing season, and that the review would include head and assistant coaches.
Shortly after, a representative from Guelph’s football program claimed that he “had it on good record” that Morencie was being replaced by Grace. >> | Cross country strong going into Championships By Michal Tellos
Sports Editor October 29, 2008 Following a positive cap to a positive OUA season, Head Coach Dennis Fairall says that he and the team look forward to the CIS Championships in November.
 The men finished with a silver medal at the OUA Championships, which took place on Oct. 25, while two members from the women’s team were named all-stars.
The conditions for the race, which took place in Kingston, Ont. were the worst that Fairall had seen in his entire career.
“It was the worst conditions I’d ever seen or experienced in my 24 years of coaching. I thought two years ago was the worst, but this was just a driving, windy rain all day. It was a hard rain, it felt like sleet,” he said, adding that one girl got hypothermia as a result of the event. >>  | | Campus Kiss | | Lancers men's hockey suffers weekend woes By Tanya Quaglia
Lance Writer October 29, 2008 Cold winds and the hint of winter in the air could not help the Windsor Lancers Men’s Hockey team this past weekend. The Lancers were unable to snap a two game losing streak as they fell to the Waterloo Warriors and Lake Superior State.
In front of a small crowd of 130 Windsor fans, the Lancers were unable to hold off the mighty Warriors, and lost their third straight game on Friday Oct. 24, this time by a score of 3-1.
Tyson Cameron put Windsor on the board first about eight minutes into the first period. He scored off passes from Scott Todd and Jonathan Sciacca. The Lancers defence was strong as they kept the Warriors off the board for the duration of the first period.
Despite getting into penalty trouble in the second period, the Lancers continued their dominant play. The Lancers’ penalty killing was strong and they maintained their one goal lead well into the second period.
Towards the end of the second, tensions ran high between the players. >> |
