The Lancer men's basketball team narrowly edged the Toronto Varsity Blues 89-88 on Saturday afternoon at the St. Denis Centre.
 
Windsor is tied for first in the OUA west division with the Laurier Golden Hawks with a 4-1 record, while the Blues fall to 1-3 and sit in fourth place in the east.
 
With the Lancers leading 50-43 at the half, the Blues opened the third quarter on a 17-10 streak evening the score at 60-60 midway through the frame. Toronto kept their momentum going and led by as many as nine points (73-64), but the Lancers rallied with six straight points to cut the deficit to three (73-70) heading into the fourth.
 
The Blues held a narrow lead throughout the fourth quarter until Alex Campbell scored to give the home team the one-point advantage with 9.5 second to go. Toronto inbounded the ball but was unable to drain the winning basket as time expired in favour of the Lancers.
 
Alex Campbell led the Lancers with 26 points, six assists and five boards, while Marko Kovac had 16 points and Isiah Osborne notched 14 points in the win.
 
The Lancers will close out the fall semester with a pair of games against the always challenging No. 1 Ottawa Gee Gees next Friday night, and the No. 2 Carleton Ravens on Saturday. Both games will tip-off at 8:00pm and can be seen live at www.oua.tv.
