Friday the 13th was anything but unlucky for the Windsor Lancers Men’s hockey team.
 The Lancers defeated the Ryerson Rams in spectacular fashion, easily winning by a score of 8-4.
Rookie defenseman Christian Steingraber was a huge part of the win, recording his first Canadian Interuniversity Sport hat trick in the third period.
The Lancers took control halfway through the first period when Mark Thorburn found the back of the net, giving the Lancers a 1-0 lead.
The Lancers offense was relentless, out shooting the Rams 13-14 after one period of play.
The Rams tied the game just 25 seconds into the second period, but the Lancers responded five minutes later with two goals less than a minute apart.
Goal scorers were Brett Oliphant and Josh Gaynor.
Matt McCready was credited with an assist on both goals.
Ryerson would score once more to close out the period, but the Lancers held on to a 3-2 lead with one period left to play.
Six goals were scored in the first 10 minutes of the third period.
Windsor recorded five goals in a 10-minute span, including three by Steingraber giving him a hat-trick. >> |

Davis’ goal renewed the Lancers’ fighting spirit and they came out strong in the second period.

The Lancers Men’s Cross Country team stormed Kingston’s Fort Henry Hill and came back with a silver medal at the 2009 Canadian Interuniversity Sport Cross Country championship on Saturday.
 Dave Weston, who’s been a force for the Lancers, finished the race in fourth place overall with a time of 30:54.
Weston was named a CIS First Team All-Canadian for his performance at this year’s national meet.
Lancer teammate Adam Kellar finished eighth overall with a time of 31:34, and was named a CIS Second Team All-Canadian.
The seemingly unstoppable Guelph Gryphons won the Men's national team title for their fourth consecutive year.
This year’s competition saw the Gryphons seize the record for the most CIS banners won by a single school with a staggering 15.
The Gryphons entered the event tied with the University of Victoria at 13.
Guelph’s Women’s team also entered the history books becoming the first team to earn five championship banners in a row.
The former CIS mark had been set by Western Ontario from 1981 to 1984 and equalled by Victoria from 1998 to 2001.
On the men's side, the Gryphons cruised through the 10-kilometre race finishing with 31 points. Windsor was second with 92 points and St. FX claimed team bronze with 170. >>
