Lancers massacred in Battle at the Bridge By Tanya Quaglia
Lance Writer September 23, 2009 The Windsor Lancers football team suffered a 60-7 blowout this past weekend versus the dominant Western Mustangs in OUA football action.
 The loss was nothing short of let-down for everyone.
“Everybody involved with the program is real disappointed right now,” said Lancer Head Coach, Mike Morencie. “We worked real hard this week and to have this kind of result can have a devastating effect upon our team.”
The rival Mustangs crashed what was supposed to be a Windsor party.
This past weekend, the Lancers welcomed back previous athletes and alumni.
Five Lancers were inducted into the Alumni Sports Hall of Fame.
The Lancers and Mustangs have been rivals in every sport, especially football.
Due to the close proximity between the two schools, these teams have been rivals for quite some time. >> | Women's soccer stonewalls Guelph, York in weekend draws By Chris Kerr
Sports Editor September 23, 2009 The Lancers Women’s soccer team proved to have a brick wall of a defensive squad in a series of ties this weekend in Guelph and Toronto.
Lancer goalkeeper and Sarnia native Danielle St. Germain started the weekend with a shutout in a game against the Guelph Gryphons.
Both Windsor and Guelph appeared to be equally matched throughout the game, moving the ball in and out of both sides of the field.
The first half of the game began with several scoring attempts by Windsor, but nothing could be buried in the net.
Guelph’s Kristen Southgate had a perfect scoring opportunity 23 minutes into the game, but couldn’t pull the trigger against the solid Lancer defense.
Swiftly following the play, Lancer forward and Tecumseh native Kelly Riccardi drove the ball at the Gryphon net only to have it intercepted by Laura Baer, and ultimately being unsuccessful in putting a point on the board for the Lancers. >> | Men's soccer upset CIS champs By Chris Kerr
Sports Editor September 23, 2009 The Lancers Men’s soccer team showed again this weekend why they are the hungriest team in the Ontario University Athletics league.
The two-game trip involved a tie against the Guelph Gryphons, followed by an underdog win against the second-ranked York University Lions.
The Gryphons had a perfect 2-0-0 record going into the Sept. 19 game against the Lancers.
Gryphon goalie, Adam Jovanovic had clearly met his match in Lancer goal-keeper Dan Mendonca.
Mendonca bravely ran out of his net numerous times to charge a Guelph player one on one, leaving his net wide open.
This is a risky feat on Mendonca’s part, being that he suffered a mild injury in the last game when he charged and connected with a Waterloo player.
Mendonca’s unbreakable stance and Lancer midfielder Duop Wur’s aggressive game caused a scoreless first half.
With 20 minutes left in the second half, a suspenseful save was made by Mendonca when Guelph’s Colin Aubrey nailed a near-perfect shot to the top of the net, only to have it deflected off the cross-bar by Mendonca. >> |
