The Lancer women's hockey team earned their first win of the season on Friday night with a 3-2 double overtime win over the York Lions at South Windsor Arena.
 
With the win, the Lancers improve to 0-5-1-1 on the season, while the Lions fall to 1-5-1-1. Windsor will look for their second win on Saturday when they host the Guelph Gryphons at 4:00pm.
 
Although the Lancers came out full of energy it was the Lions who got on the board first at 2:47 of the first period on a goal by Renata Bastos. The rest of the first period was back and forth play where both goalkeepers were keeping the game close.
 
Late in the second Jillian Rops tied the game up on a goal mouth scramble. The goal was scored at 14:39 with the assist going to Hilary Hettwer.
 
The Lancers then surged out and took a 2-1 lead early in the first on a goal from Krysten Lawerence. The goal put the Blue & Gold in control of the game as they controlled the play for much of the third up until 13:56 in the third period when the Lions tied it up sending the game into a frenzy in the final five minutes with both teams fighting for the winning goal.
 
The game was then sent into overtime and eventually double overtime where Natalie Barrette fired the puck into the back of the net with just 0:32 second remaining in the frame to avoid the shoot-out and earn the Lancers their first win of the season.
 
The Lancers are back in action Saturday afternoon when they take on the Gryphons at South Windsor Arena. Puck drops at 4:00pm and can be seen LIVE at www.oua.tv.
