Business as usual for Lancers track and field By Michal Tellos Sports Editor February 4, 2009 It’s been business as usual for the men’s and women’s Lancers track and field teams so far in 2009. Both squads have been consistently medaling at tournaments, and both are currently ranked first in Canada.
 The latest successful outing was at an open tournament in Findlay, Ohio, which is coincidentally the hometown of Ben Roethlisberger. Needless to say the town was electric before the Lancers even arrived.
They might not be winning this year’s Super Bowl, but the Lancers certainly made a statement.
The team finished with six gold, eight silver, and five bronze medals.
At the head of Lancer victory was long-time star Jamie Adjetey-Nelson who stole the show in his signature event – the pentahlon.
“Jamie Adjetey-Nelson opened up in the Pentathlon with a new school record, and the most number of points anyone has ever gotten in the CIS, so he had a great competition,” said Head Coach Dennis Fairall. >> | Women's basketball clinches first in OUA By Michal Tellos
Sports Editor February 4, 2009 The Lancers women’s basketball team has extended their winning streak to 14 in a row to move up to 17-1 on the season.
 They have now officially clinched first place in the OUA.
The certainty came after two key road wins, first against the Guelph Gryphons, 89-57, and then against the Waterloo Warriors 76-64.
The game against Guelph was yet another dominating Lancer performance from start to finish, as the girls captured the lead early in the first quarter and never looked back.
The Gryphons were outscored in every quarter due to their mediocre shooting from the field and their atrocious shooting from the line.
The Lancers put the game totally out of reach by the end of the third, when they were already up by 24.
Like so many of the games so far this year, it was a team effort with the scoring spread out quite evenly.
Four players made it to the double-digits including Emily Abbott, Iva Peklova, Dranadia Roc, and Alisa Wulff. Wulff led the way with 21 points and seven rebounds. >>  | | Campus Kiss | | Lancers men's hockey puts up two losses By Tanya Quaglia
Lance Writer February 4, 2009 With the playoffs quickly approaching, the Windsor Lancers Men’s Hockey Team lost two critical road games this past weekend.
Friday night the Lancers faced the sixth seeded Wilfred Laurier Golden Hawks. The Hawks, who previously were struggling against division opponent teams, easily dominated the first period.
After allowing three goals in the first 12 minutes of the game, the Lancers pulled goalie Jim Watt and replaced him with Tecumseh native Jonathan Hunter. Things did not get much better for the Lancers when Craig Voakes scored on the power play giving the Hawks a 4-0 lead to conclude the first period.
Penalties and a disappointing showmanship by all players proved costly for the Lancers. In the first period alone, they allowed 21 shots on net and they themselves only tested Hawks goalie, Jeff MacDougald five times.
With two periods looming, the Lancers needed to step up their game if they wanted to even have a chance at winning. Unfortunately, stronger play was not enough for the Lancers to solve Laurier’s offensive prowess. The Hawks managed to score two goals in 10 minutes, extending their lead to a dominating 6-0. Each team had 13 shots on net in the second, but the Lancers were unable to capitalize on any scoring chances. >> |
