In a thrilling offensive performance, the Windsor Lancers men’s basketball team, hosting the McMaster Marauders, won their final game of the season 104-88.  It was their seventh straight win.
The win puts the Lancers in a tie with the Lakehead Thunderwolves for first place in OUA west, as both squads finished with 17-5 records.
The Lancers came out with a fierce first quarter, outscoring the Marauders 30-22.
The quarter was action-packed, as the home team engaged the crowd right from tip-off. The Lancers netted six shots from behind the arc in the first quarter alone, but the biggest cheer came from a massive from-behind block by senior Andre Smyth. It was one of six in the game for him. >>

In yet another dominating performance, the Windsor Lancers women’s basketball team handily won their final game of the regular season, rolling over the visiting McMaster Marauders by a score of 74-35.
 In what was a very a physical game, the Lancers came to play. They took the lead immediately and never looked back, continuing to widen it until the final buzzer.
McMaster failed to outscore Windsor in any quarter, and they only scored double digits in one.
The fourth quarter was the exclamation point on the game as the Lancers managed to outscore the Marauders 21-6.
Head coach Chantal Vallee was very pleased with her team’s effort. >>

As Canada celebrated Jon Montgomery’s gold medal in skeleton, the Windsor Lancers Women’s Hockey team gave Windsor its own reason to celebrate by shockingly defeating the number nine nationally ranked York Lions this past weekend. The Lancers upset the Lions in double-overtime.
The win over York wasn’t the Lancers first upset win this week. On Monday February 15th, the Lancers handed the Laurier Golden Hawks their first loss of the season to clinch a playoff spot.
The Lancers headed into Saturday’s playoff game the underdogs, but with one of the best records in the league over the last ten games. York got on the board first halfway through the first period, but the red-hot Lancers did not quit.
Lindsay Hoogstraten put the Lancers on the board less than two minutes into the second period with a power play goal. Assists were credited to Kelly Calhoun and Stephanie Hebert.
Hebert would give the Lancers a 2-1 lead eight minutes later. Windsor held on to the 2-1 lead until halfway through the third period. >>
