The Lancer Men's Soccer team took sole possession of first place in the OUA West Division with an impressive 1-0 victory over the Western Mustangs on Wednesday night in London.

With the victory, the Lancers now move to 5-1-3 on the season and sit in first place in the OUA West Division.

Dan Mendonca hung on to earn the shutout as the Lancers defeated the Mustangs 1-0.

With the win, the Lancers now sit two points ahead of the Guelph Gryphons in the standings. Guelph will take on the York Lions tonight in Guelph.
