 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.
Josh Collins scored nine points in the game.
The Lancers are now set to take a holiday break from OUA action until January 6 when they host the Western Mustangs on “Rivalry Night” at 8 p.m. at the St. Denis Centre.
