WINDSOR, Ont.- Erinn Noseworthy potted two goals, and the Windsor Lancers women's hockey team ended their regular season with a 3-0 victory over the visiting Waterloo Warriors on Hats on for Healthcare Day at South Windsor Arena on Saturday afternoon.

The win solidifies a superb second half for the Lancers (14-8-2) that saw the women go 7-1-1, allowing them to clinch fifth-place in the conference standings. Windsor will take on the Queen's Gaels in the first round of the OUA playoffs beginning Thursday night in Windsor at 7:30pm.

After honouring their senior athletes in a pre-game ceremony, the Lancers were charged up from the opening face-off, scoring on a quick odd-man rush just 45 seconds into regulation. Noseworthy scored her first marker after taking a lead pass from Jenny MacKnight down the left wing, finding the top left corner to put the home side up 1-0.

The contest seemed to slow down from there, however, as Waterloo's Rebecca Bouwhuis turned aside 13 first-period Windsor shots to keep the Warriors close. Windsor would not find the goal once again until late in the middle frame, as Noseworthy grabbed her OUA-leading 16th goal on the season with MacKnight and Bree Polci adding the assists.

Defender Natalie Barrette tallied her second of the year to provide an insurance marker in the third period, and Marissa Kozovski made 16 saves to record her second shutout of the season. Waterloo was 0-for-5 with the power-play while Windsor was 0-for-6. The Lancers fired 42 shots on Bouwhuis.

MacKnight's two points on Saturday gives her a total of 40 (15 goals, 25 assists) on the year. The Regina, Sask. native clinched the OUA scoring title becoming the first Lancer in women's hockey history to do so. She also finished second in the nation in scoring and 4th in the CIS in game-winning goals. Her linemate Polci finished third in the league with 32 points (12 goals, 20 assists), while Noseworthy led the OUA in goals scored with 16.
