The Lancers women’s basketball team rolled on over the weekend, as they dominated two tough opponents – the Laurentian Voyageurs and the York Lions.
Laurentian was the big test. They are a top-10 ranked team in Canada. The home crowd was eager, but they were disappointed, as the Lancers floored them in the first quarter, and never looked back.
The girls outscored them 28-15 in the frame, and they outplayed them thoroughly throughout the rest of the game as well.
The game ended with a score of 82-63.
The standout player for the Lancers was, once again, Division I transfer Alisa Wulff. She had a monster double-double, scoring 24 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Dranadia Roc also chipped in with 21 points, but Head Coach Chantal Vallee singled out Wulff for the win. >>

The perfect winter hockey conditions this past weekend ended on a high note for both the men and women’s hockey teams. The Lancers men’s hockey team won both their games on Thursday and Friday night, extending their win streak to four games. The women’s team snapped a three-game skid, and defeated the Western Mustangs this past Saturday.
The Windsor Lancers Men’s hockey team won both their games against the Guelph Gryphons. The first game of the double header was won by a score of 2-1 on Thursday night.
After a scoreless first period, these two evenly matched teams looked to get on the board early in the second. Scott Gillis scored the first goal for the Lancers almost seven minutes into the period, after putting his own rebound behind Gryphons goalie Andrew Arklie. >>

In a weekend that Head Coach Chris Oliver called “ugly,” the Windsor Lancers men’s basketball team split a pair of games on the road, losing to the Laurentian Voyageurs, but winning against the York Lions.
Against Laurentian, the bar was set early on by the home team, who dominated the Lancers in the first quarter, outscoring them 30-18.
The Lancers stormed back, however, in the second and third quarter, outscoring the Voyageurs 24-28, and 18-7, respectively.
Defensive lapses allowed for a Laurentian comeback in the fourth, where the Lancers were outscored 26-20. A buzzer-beater for the home team finished the game off.
Leading the Lancers in the loss was Monty Hardware who netted 19, while Greg Surmacz and Isaac Kuon also both chipped in with 17. Surmacz also snagged nine rebounds.
Against the York Lions, it was a similar story with a different result, as poor defensive play persisted, but the Lancers managed to hold on to take the game, 99-91.
The Lancers came out scoring early, as they scored 27 points in the first quarter, and held the lead for the rest of the game. >>
