Box Score 2 Head Coach
Kevin Hamlin and the Lancer men's hockey team will return home after a pair of losses to the Lakehead Thunderwolves this weekend in Thunder Bay, ON.
Despite a late surge, the Lancer men's hockey team was unable to defeated the No. 7 ranked Thunderwolves on Friday night.
After trailing 5-0 in the third period, the Lancers rallied for two late goals to fall to the Thunderwolves 5-2.
Lakehead scored midway through the first period on their second power play opportunity of the night, and then again five minutes into the second frame to lead by two heading into the third period.
The hosts continued to dominate the scoreboard, adding three unanswered goals by Adam Sergerie, Ryan McDonald and Brock McPherson.
Scoring their first goal on a delayed penalty call, Windsor went on the power play immediately following Nishizaki's goal.
Halfway through the man-advantage,
Mike Lombardi scored his tenth of the year to add to the Lancers tally and end the high scoring game.
On Saturday, the Thunderwolves continued their momentum from Friday night to double up on the Lancers 4-2.
The Thunderwolves peppered Windsor goaltender
Jim Watt early with plenty of great chances, including a 2-on-1 with Caria and Victor Anilane, in which Anilane couldn't quite get a handle on the puck.
Watt kept the Lancers in the game making a number of key saves to keep the score knotted at zero.
Brock McPherson put Lakehead in front at 14:00 of the first period with a forehand-to-backhand move.
Windsor was kept off the board due to some solid goaltending from Kyle Moir.
Lakehead built a two goal lead two minutes into the second with an unassisted goal from Brock McPherson.
Windsor got on the board early in the third period to make things interesting when
Mike Lombardi put one past Kyle Moir to cut Lakehead's lead in half.
Ryan McDonald replied for Lakehead to restore Lakehead's two-goal lead. At 9:39 of the third, Brennan Menard broke in alone and fired a shot past Watt to put the Wolves up 4-1.
Windsor got a late goal from
Mark Thorburn to make it 4-2, but it wasn't enough, as Lakehead held on for the win.
The Lancers will now head to St. Catherine's to face the Brock Badgers on Friday night before heading back home on Saturday to take on the Guelph Gryphons at 7:30pm at Windsor Arena.
