Box Score

The Windsor Lancers Men's Basketball team earned another impressive road victory this past weekend as they defeated the McMaster Marauders 82-77 on Saturday afternoon in Hamilton.

With the victory, the Lancers move to 9-3 in conference play and remain in second place in the OUA West division.

On Saturday, McMaster grabbed an early 15-7 lead, thanks in large part to forward Cam Michaud. The second year forward scored 13 first quarter points, but by the end of the period, the visitors had come back to take a 22-20 lead.

Again in the second quarter, Mac went on a run, opening up an 11 point advantage. But again, Windsor closed well, heading to the locker room at the half down only five at 41-36.

In the third, it was only a long-range 3-pointer from Andre Smyth in the waning seconds of the quarter that gave the Lancers the lead at 62-61 with a period to play.

Windsor maintained a six point margin with just over three minutes to play before Tyrell Vernon tallied 5 straight points, to bring the Marauders to within one, 73-72.

The home side went ahead again with just under a minute left, but Smyth again knocked down a clutch shot from downtown, restoring the Windsor lead they would never relinquish.

Smyth had a 19 point, 10 rebound double-double to pace the Lancers. Nigel Johnson-Tyghter added 15 points, while Lien Phillip and Monty Hardware came off the bench to score 12 and 10 points respectively.

McMaster's Cam Michaud had a game high 23 points to lead all scorers.

Windsor will be on the road again this week as they travel to London, Ontario on Wednesday to face the Western Mustangs.
