Box Score The No.3 nationally ranked Lancer Women's Basketball team scored 23 points in the third quarter en route to a 65-62 win over the host Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks on Saturday in Waterloo.
The Lancers improve to 19-1 on the season and clinched first place in the OUA West division earlier this week.
On Saturday, both teams came out playing a strong defensive game in the early going with the Lancers using a full-court press to help create turnovers.
However, Laurier was able to withstand the pressure and kept the score tied 13-13 after one quarter of play.
The second quarter remained a tightly contested game as neither team was able to pull away from the other. The score remained tied, 31-31 heading into the break.

In the fourth, Laurier cut the lead to three points with less than a minute left in the quarter, but that was as close as they would get, with Windsor earning the 65-62 victory.
For the Lancers, Laura Mullins led the way with 13 points, while Miah-Marie Langlois had 12 and Bojana Kovacevic chipped in with 11. Langlois and Shavaun Reaney led Windsor in rebounding with six boards each.
