The men's soccer team at the University of Windsor will open the OUA playoffs Wednesday at home while the women's team will start their title run on the road.
 
The Lancers, the men's No. 4 seed, will host the No. 5-seed Western Mustangs in the OUA West quarter-final at Alumni Field at 7:30 p.m.
 
Windsor (7-3-6) recorded one win and one tie in the regular season against Western (7-6-3).
 
"With just three losses in the whole season, the expectations are high," coach Steve Hart said.
Admission to the Windsor game is free.
 
The No. 5-ranked women will travel to Guelph Wednesday to face the No, 4-ranked Gryphons in the division quarter-final at 6 p.m. Windsor (6-7-3) split the regular-season series with Guelph (7-6-3).
 
"The last time we played we had a couple injured players and we did not play up to our potential," coach Angelo Verardi said.
 
"We have been getting some good results lately and the ladies are starting to play more as a unit on the defensive as well as the offensive side of the ball."
 
Verardi said they hope to control the midfield play with Giulia Barile and Jaclyn Faraci and stop the Gryphons from getting to the goal with a back four anchored by Laura Lecce and Courtney Fleming.
