Women's basketball wins two more at home By Michal Tellos Sports Editor February 11, 2009 The women’s Lancers basketball team handily moved up to a league-best 19-1 last week with two entertaining home wins.
 The ladies have continued to hold their position of second in Canada as well.
The Lancers hosted the McMaster Marauders on Wednesday, and the Brock Badgers on Saturday.
Approximately one year ago, the Marauders became the OUA champions, knocking the Lancers off in the process. When they met once earlier this year, the Lancers had one of their closest victories all season.
This time proved no different.
But, typically, the Lancers held through. Head Coach Chantal Vallee had further insight as to why the games have been going the way they have.
“I think teams will come out and compete their hardest against us in the first few minutes of the game, but we just have to ride out. But I think we all have confidence that in the long stretch, in a forty minute game, we’ll win,” she said. >> | Lancers men's hockey loses key stretch game By Tanya Quaglia
Lance Writer February 11, 2009 Sitting just one point out of a final playoff spot, the Windsor Lancers Men’s Hockey Team looked to snap their two game losing streak and make the final march into post season glory. The Lancers hoped to avenge the Western Mustangs from the week previous in which the Lancers were on the losing end of a controversial Mustang win.
However, strong and determined play was not enough, and the Lancers lost their third straight game.
Jonathan Sciacca put Windsor on the board first with a power play goal. Assists went to Kyle Lang and Mark Thorburn. The Lancers played great defence and kept the Mustangs away from the net for a majority of the period. Unfortunately, the Mustangs tied the game at the 13-minute mark of the first.
The Lancers did not let that tying goal dampen their spirits. An interference penalty to the Mustangs proved to be the break the Lancers needed. Kyle Lang scored in the dying seconds of the power play to give the lead back to Windsor. Josh Gaynor and Jonathan Sciacca set Lang up for the goal.. >>  | | Campus Kiss | | Men's basketball wins two key home games By Michal Tellos
Sports Editor February 11, 2009 The Lancers men’s basketball team picked up two clutch home wins last week, first against the McMaster Marauders, and then against the Brock Badgers.
Like the women’s game, the men’s game against McMaster was a close affair, and the home team initially trailed hugely.
Early in the first quarter, lucky Marauder shots and unfortunate Lancer attempts put the boys down 17-0.
The crowd was stunned and it seemed as if the lead would be permanent, but the Lancers managed to close the gap to just two points by the second half.
The third frame was all Lancers, while the final quarter was about even.
The game eventually went to Windsor by a score of 76-74, after a missed attempt for the buzzer-beater.
Leading the game for the Lancers was Corey Boswell, who scored 23, and Isaac Kuon, who scored 16. Greg Surmacz helped with seven points and 10 rebounds.
Saturday night against Brock, fan appreciation night, was not nearly as close, and according to Head Coach Chris Oliver it was one of the most complete team games of the season. >> |
