The Windsor Lancers Men’s Basketball team fell to the Queen’s Gaels 73-64 this Friday at the St. Denis Centre.
 The Lancers also faced off against the Royal Military College Paladins on Saturday, blitzing their defense with an impressive offensive output of 118 points.
Coach Oliver's Lancer squad now owns a 4-2 record in their conference and are ranked number six in their division.
Friday night let the Lancers show off their charitable side by proclaiming the night to be Coats for our Community Night which would see over 200 coats going to those who truly need them.
The Gaels made sure the Lancers did not feel comfortable in their own home by starting the game off with an early 13-0 lead.
The Gael's Baris Ondul brought the heat by draining several shots from mid-court which the Lancers struggled to answer.
Unable to go away quietly, the Lancers erased a 10-point deficit thanks to some nifty ball movement and well executed shots, bringing the score to a 34-34 tie at halftime. >>

After a disappointing 3-1 loss to the Queens Gaels, the Windsor Lancers Women’s Hockey Team improved dramatically and came back to win 4-0 over the UOIT Ridgebacks this past weekend.
 Despite the loss on Saturday afternoon, overall it was a successful weekend for the Lancers.
“Having a new coaching staff has really changed the dynamics of the team and so far we’re having a pretty good season,” explained Manon Davis, a left winger for the Lancers.
On Saturday, the Lancers fell to the mighty Gaels.
Despite Davis putting Windsor on the board just over a minute into the game, the Lancers could not build on their early lead.
The Gaels tied the game almost two minutes later and never looked back.
The Lancers could not stop the Gaels powerful line of Becky Conroy, Alana Smith, and Kelsey Thomson who teamed together to score the Gaels first two goals of the game.

The dark October days are a distant memory for the dominant Windsor Lancers Men’s Hockey Team.
The Windsor Lancers swept the Queen’s Gaels this past weekend in back-to-back games, winning 7-5 and 6-3.
After a disappointing start, the Lancers are on a tear, winning four of their last five games.
The loss in that five-game span came in a shootout.
Danny Anger led the charge over the Gaels Friday night, netting a hat trick in the 7-5 win. Joey Derochie put the Gaels on the board first, but Mark Thorburn responded 17 seconds later, tying the game at one.
The Lancers offence peppered Gaels’ goalie Mackenzie Ball with 21 shots on net in the first period alone.
Matt McCready put Windsor up 2-1 off a pass from Kyle Nishizaki and Anger scored his first goal of the night at the 11-minute mark of the period, extending Windsor’s lead to 3-1.
A last second goal by Brock Ouellet in the dying seconds of the first period would bring the Gaels within one, heading into the second.
Despite a strong effort by the Lancers, the late first period goal gave the Gaels momentum, and they tied the game early in the second period. >>
