The Lancer men's hockey team earned their third straight victory with a convincing 4-1 win over the Western Mustangs on Saturday night at South Windsor Arena.
 
The victory propels the Lancers into second place in the OUA west division with a 4-2-0 record, while the Mustangs fall into a four way tie with a 3-2-0 record.
 
The first period saw Tyson Ness score for the Lancers after beating Western defenceman Jed Rusk to gain a break, sliding the puck past rookie goaltender Luke Peresinni.
 
The Lancers continued to pressure Western in the second period. Todd Ratchford struck midway through the period for Windsor on a wrist shot that beat Peresinni glove-side.
 
Western managed to answer with a goal of their own, courtesy of Sean Callaghan, late in the period to climb to within one.
 
However, Windsor would quickly respond to regain their two goal lead as Justice Dundas tallied with under two minutes remaining in the period.
 
Western pressed hard in the third period but Windsor goalie Blake Richard kept the purple and white offence at bay. A power play only further tipped momentum in favour of the Lancers, with Dylan Seguin recording the fourth Lancer goal of the evening.
 
The Lancers outshot the Mustangs 47-35 by the end of the game, with Richard making 34 saves in net to secure the victory. Peresinni finished the game with 43 saves.
