The Windsor Lancers women's hockey team swept a pair of home games against the Brock Badgers and Queen's Gaels over the weekend at South Windsor Arena.

The Lancers got their weekend started with a 5-1 win over Brock Badgers on Friday night and followed that up with a 1-0 shut-out victory over the Queen's Gaels on Saturday afternoon. 
 
Against Brock, the Lancers came out hard controlling the play of the game early on. It paid off early in the first on a power play when captain Erinn Noseworthy knocked in a rebound at 5:32 of the period.
 
The lead was very short lived as Brock's Christina Ieradi scored one back at 11:39 on a shot from the point that found its way through past the Lancer goaltender Ingrid Sandven.
 
Windsor came out just as strong in the second as they did in the first scoring two goals in the first five minutes to extend the lead to 3-1. The first goal was at 4:38 scored by Krystin Lawrence, while the second goal was scored on a breakaway just twenty-one second later at 4:59 by Shawna Lesperance.
 
The third was a lot of the same as the Lancers again struck with Lawrence's second of the game on the power play it make it a three goal lead. Jill Rops added an empty netter late in the period.
 
Sandven earned the win in net stopping 20 shots, while Jensen Murphy had 34 saves in the loss.
 
On Saturday, the Lancers got on the board first on a goal by Shawna Lesperance at 4:13 of the opening frame. The remainder of the period was strong as both of the teams played a hard, fast paced style.

The second period held both teams scoreless, but intense play went both ways throughout the period. The game came right down to wire, but Sandven came up huge in net to secure the shut-out and earn her second win of the weekend.

Sandven made 26 saves in the win, while Caitlyn Lohwnen made 27 saves for Queen's in the loss. 

Windsor will now break for the holidays, and return to action on Saturday January 9th when they host the UOIT Ridgebacks at 4:00pm at South Windsor Arena.
