The No. 3 Lancer men's soccer team split their weekend home series against the Guelph Gryphons and Brock Badgers.
Â
On Friday, Windsor broke their seven game win streak with a 5-2 loss to Guelph before rebounding on Saturday with a strong 4-0 win over Brock at Alumni Field.
Â
Heading into Thanksgiving, Windsor is 10-2-1 on the season and remains in first place in the OUA west division, two points ahead of the York Lions.
Â
Guelph was able to find the weaknesses in the Lancer defense early on Friday and built an early 2-0 lead just 18 minutes into the contest.
Â
In the second half, the Gryphons built a three goal lead in the 65th minute before
Jack Sargent knocked a cross into the middle of the 18-yard box behind Gryphon goalie Braden Taylor to get the Lancers on the board two minutes later.
Â
Guelph retaliated with a pair of goals from brothers Tomasz and Jace Skublack before Mike Pio closed out the scoring for Windsor.
Â
On Saturday against the Badgers, Windsor looked like an entirely different team dominating Brock from start to finish.
Â
Jamar Redhead opened the scoring in the 31st minute. Rookie
Noah Pio beat the Badger defenders to bring the ball into the 18-yard box and send a pass over to Redhead who was left open by the Brock defense.
Â
Windsor built a two goal lead just two minutes later when
Leighton Speechley-Price scored his CIS leading 11th goal of the year with some fancy footwork down the field and through the visiting defense.
Â
The second half was all Iyowuna Jumbo as he scored both goals for the Blue & Gold to secure the 4-0 victory.
Kyle Vizirakis earned the win in net, registering his ninth shut-out of the season.
Â
Windsor will now travel to Waterloo to face the Waterloo Warriors and Laurier Golden Hawks next weekend on the road.Â
