Greg Surmacz and Isaac Kuon named all-stars By Chris Kerr Lance Writer March 11, 2009 Windsor Lancers Men’s Basketball is pleased to announce that two of their players are some of the best in the division in terms of hardwood domination.
 Fifth-year Lancers forward Greg Surmacz was named the OUA West division player of the year and first team all-star on Tuesday, and Isaac Kuon was named OUA second team all-star.
Six-foot-eight Surmacz, from Peterborough, Ont., was among the top point scorers once again this year. His sickening scoring ability and court control, combined with the sheer mass of the guy, has made him one of the baddest players in the division.
Surmacz averaged 20.1 points per game over 22 games this season, placing him at tenth in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport standings. Also, his rebounding skills were a force to be reckoned with, averaging 8.5 per game. >> | Women's basketball takes fourth at CIS By Michal Tellos
Sports Editor March 11, 2009 The hugely successful run of the Windsor Lancers women’s basketball team has unfortunately come to an end, with the team finishing fourth at the CIS Championships in Regina, Sask.
 The tournament, taking place from March 6-8, saw the number one ranked Simon Fraser Clan become the eventual champions.
The Lancers fell to a tough Regina Cougars squad 86-68 in the semi-finals, as the packed home crowd cheered their team on to a decisive victory.
Hoping to rebound quickly in the bronze medal game the following afternoon, the Lancers again came up short against the Alberta Pandas, this time by just one basket – 64-62.
The road leading to these losses was a tremendous one, however, and it included a thrilling quarter-final match.
The Lancers were to open the tournament against the Saskatchewan Huskies, and the game didn’t disappoint. >>  | | Campus Kiss | | Lancers rugby on chopping block for 2009 By Tanya Quaglia
Lance Writer March 11, 2009 In university sports, there are a couple of words that teams never want to hear. ‘Losing season,’ ‘disappointing results,’ and ‘lack of performance’ are just a couple.
 However, the words that no team ever wants to hear when in reference to their sport, are ‘sport is cancelled.’ Those dreaded words, are slowly becoming a reality for the Windsor Lancers rugby team.
After a disappointing season, the Lancers rugby team hoped to enter next season renewed and off to a fresh start. The possibility of rugby being cancelled as a Lancer sport was far from anyone’s minds.
“It’s a shame that the university is cancelling sports,” said Head Coach Andrew Ciavaglia. “If anything they should be adding sports and services to attract students.”
Rugby is one of the most popular sports in Canada. For the past couple of years, rugby has been gaining popularity as a part of the Windsor Lancers organization.
With rugby popularity on the rise, it is a wonder as to why the university is cutting funds from this area. >> |
