Box Score 2 The Lancer women's hockey team split their final road games of the regular season against the Brock Badgers and Guelph Gryphons.
Â
On Saturday, the Lancers edged the Badgers 2-1 before falling to the Gryphons 3-0 on Sunday.
Â
Heading into their final weekend of the regular season, the Lancers are 13-5-4 on the year and sit in fifth spot in the very tight OUA standings.
Â
After a scoreless first period against Brock,
Candace Kourounis opened the scoring for the Lancers 11:43 into the middle stanza. Brock would then tie things just under 90 seconds into the third when Sophie Herbert scored her second goal of the season.
Â
With only three penalties called throughout the entire contest, the game was a hard fought 5-on-5 battle. With just 1:36 left in regulation,
Erinn Noseworthy found the back of the net to secure the win for the Blue & Gold.
Â
The Lancers out-shot the Badgers 43-17 as
Marissa Kozovski turned aside 16 shots for Windsor.
Â
On Sunday, the Lancers had a number of opportunities to score but a strong performance from Guelph goaltender Stephanie Nehring spoiled their chances at getting on the board.
Â
Windsor returns home next weekend for a pair of games on Friday and Saturday night at 7:30pm. Prior to Saturday's game the Lancers will honour their graduating seniors in a pre-game ceremony.
