Box Score Spencer Pommells third period goal lifted the Lancer men's hockey team over the UOIT Ridgebacks 2-1 on Sunday afternoon in Oshawa, ON.
Â
The Lancers swept the weekend series over UOIT as they improve to 13-1-0, and their experience played a key role as they were either trailing or tied heading into the third period of both games.
Â
Pommells tenth goal of the season came with just over seven minutes left to go in the final frame, as he was setup by linemate
Blake Blondeel. UOIT had plenty of scoring chances of their own in the period, but goaltender
Taylor Speed shut the door as he improved to 3-0.
Â
Jesse Stoughton scored the Ridgebacks lone goal, which came late in the first period. Mike Robinson and Mitch Bennett added assists on the play. The goal broke up a four-game scoreless streak for the Ridgeback sniper.
Â
Windsor's game-tying goal came in the second period. With a Ridgeback injured in the offensive zone, the referees did not blow the play dead. Windsor turned the puck up ice and managed to convert on a second chance opportunity.
Drew Palmer netted his ninth, scoring the Lancers second shorthanded goal of the season.
Â
Both goaltenders were solid in net, turning aside a number of good scoring opportunities.
Taylor Speed stopped 31 of 32 shots on net for Windsor, while UOIT's Colin Dzijacky made 25 saves.
Â
Windsor returns home Friday November 28th when they host the Waterloo Warriors at 7:30pm at South Windsor Arena. The game can be seen live at
