A three point night by Jonathan Sciacca and a shutout by Jim Watt paved the way for a 3-0 Lancers victory Friday night when the Lancers hosted the UOIT Ridgebacks.
 Hopes for a weekend sweep were crushed when the Ridgebacks defeated the Lancers 4-2 Saturday.
The Lancers came out flying in the first period and challenged Ridgeback net minder, Jason Guy with 17 shots on net.
Sciacca scored his first goal of the night at the 8:22 mark of the period off passes from Kyle Nishizaki and Christian Steingraber to give Windsor a 1-0 lead.
Windsor held on to the one goal lead and did not let the Ridgebacks to generate many scoring chances.
In the second, Kyle Lang took advantage of a power play goal and gave Windsor a 2-0 lead late in the period. Assists went to Sciacca and Josh Gaynor.
In the third, the Ridgebacks out-shot the Lancers for the first time all game, but Watt was unbeatable.>>

The Lancers Men’s Basketball team are on a three-game winning streak after defeating the Ryerson Rams 76-68 in Toronto.
On Saturday, the Lancers and the Rams seemed to be an even match for most of the game until the hungry Lancers squad pulled ahead in the fourth quarter en route to the victory.
The Rams opened the game with a 7-0 run, but Windsor didn’t let that stop them as they fought their way back and stayed with the Rams for the remainder of the game.
The Lancers out-rebounded the Rams 37-33 on the night in what was another defensive struggle.
Coach Oliver’s squad now moves to a record of six wins and two losses in Ontario University Athletics West conference play.
This record puts the Lancers alone at second place in the OUA West division.
Despite poor free throw shooting and a struggle from the three-point line, Oliver conceded that his team deserved the win.
“We won with a solid effort after a slow start,” said Oliver.
The Lancers balanced their scoring once again with Isaac Kuon, Andre Smyth and Enrico Diloreto all scoring 11 points. >>
