 Friday’s performance against Toronto was dominated by Windsor throughout, and the final score was 78-58.
The Blues were outscored and outplayed defensively in all quarters.
Greg Surmacz led the Lancer charge, as he recorded his second double-double of the year, scoring 18 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Monty Hardware also added 16 points, and Andre Smyth had eight rebounds.
Saturday’s game, was in the words of Head Coach Chris Oliver, “ugly,” but the Lancers scraped out a win regardless.
As is characteristic of the team this season, they came out to a fast start, scoring quickly and playing waterproof defence. >> | Women's basketball stays at top of OUA By Michal Tellos
Sports Editor November 19, 2008 The Lancers women’s basketball team got even more comfortable at the top of the OUA this weekend, as they rolled over the Toronto Varsity Blues and the Ryerson Rams to move up to 5-1 in the conference – the top of their division.
 The Lancers faced Toronto on Friday night, and it was a blowout from the beginning. The girls outscored their opponents 25-11 in the first quarter and never looked back, never losing the lead, and never being outscored in a quarter.
The final score of the game was an embarrassing 87-55.
The women were led by Laura Mullins who had 15 points, and Alisa Wulff who recorded another double-double, scoring 13 and adding 12 rebounds.
Saturday was no different, as the Lancers quickly built up a substantial lead and never looked back.
They outscored the Rams 22-9 in the first quarter, and scored a whopping 31 points in the final frame to handily take the game 83-53. >>  | | Campus Kiss | | Women's hockey shut out by visiting Varsity Blues 3-0 By Tanya Quaglia
Lance Writer November 19, 2008 The Lancers woman’s hockey team were denied a chance to get back to their winning ways after a 3-0 shutout versus the visiting Toronto Varsity Blues.
Back home from two heartbreaking losses the previous weekend, the Lancers hoped to end the losing streak in front of a home crowd. In the first period, the Lancers came out flying. Despite having eight shots on net, the Lancers could not get the puck past Toronto goalie Kendyl Valenta. Lancer goalie, Jamie Tessier was also strong in net, stopping all seven of the first-period shots she faced.
Windsor looked to finally get on the board in the second period. However, the Varsity Blues were the ones who came out scoring. In the second alone, Toronto had 19 shots on net as opposed to the Lancers seven. Tessier was unable to keep the Varsity Blues off the board and allowed three goals, despite her best efforts to keep the Lancers in the game.
As numerous hockey teams have proven, a three-goal lead is not always a safe one, even with one period left to play. The Lancers held on to that hope as they headed into the third and final period. >> |
