The cream of Lancer Athletics annihilated their competition last weekend in at the Bradley Invitational in Peoria, Illinois.
 The first-place victory puts University of Windsor at an overall record of 69 wins and 6 losses.
On the men’s side, two of the top three spots were filled by the Lancers.
After a head-to-head duel with a runner from Northern Iowa, standout runner Dave Weston continued his impressive season by securing second place in the race, almost pulling off the win.
Matt Sinclair, with a strong effort in the last 200m snatched up third place.
At 8th place was Andrew Aguanno, the third Lancer to finish the race.
Aguanno raced well considering he recently returned after falling ill.
Matt Walters and Adam Kellar rounded out the scoring with 13th and 14th place. >>

Lancer Men's hockey team drops both games on the road

The Windsor Lancers Men’s hockey team had another disappointing weekend with another set of losses.
The Lancers, who looked promising versus NCAA division I teams, lost games versus the Laurier Golden Hawks and York Lions this past Saturday and Sunday.
After two disappointing losses at home, the Lancers looked to get back on the winning road when they headed to Brantford to take on the Golden Hawks.
Laurier got on the board just 24 seconds into the first period.
Laurier would score again late in the period to take a 2 goal lead over the Lancers heading into the second.
In an eerie sense of déjà vu, the Lancers gave up another early period goal allowing the Golden Hawks to extend their lead to three a little over a minute into the second period.
With the Lancers quickly falling behind, Lancer Danny Anger capitalized on the power play and put Windsor on the board halfway through the period and therefore spoiling Laurier’s shutout. >>

During a practice in early September, Lancer Men's soccer coach Steve Hart assured the Lance that his team was going to do big things this season.
 With some key recruitment moves, Hart was confident that this year his team was going to turn heads.
His team's recent performance, reaching one point behind the number one spot in the OUA West, and the ever increasing attendance at Alumni Field, Hart's prophecy is coming true. The team continued their unbeaten streak over the weekend defeating both the McMaster Marauders and Brock Badgers on the road.
Lancer goalkeeper Dan Mendonca tied the Lancer single season shutout record this weekend getting his 8th clean sheet.
On Saturday, the Lancers hit the road to Hamilton and defeated the McMaster Marauders 2-0 at Ron Joyce Stadium.
The 11th ranked Ryan Wise, and 15th ranked Mike Watson got the goals. >>
