Earning their second straight win, the Lancer women's hockey team defeated the host Ryerson Rams 2-1 on Friday night at the Mattamy Athletic Centre.
 
The win moves the Lancers into sixth place in the OUA standings with a 3-0-3-1 record, while the Rams fall to 1-1-3-2.
 
Windsor's Shawna Lesperance fired a quick wrister from the point that teammate Meredith Goldhawk tipped on the way to the net. It was enough to fool Ryerson goaltender Sydney Authier as the Lancers took a 1-0 lead just 20 seconds into the game.
 
It would stay that way until midway through the second period. Following some great work down low in the Rams' zone, Lesperance found first-year Emily Bowman all alone in the slot. She snapped the puck between the posts for the first of her OUA career and a 2-0 Windsor lead.
 
On the power play in the third, Ryerson's Kryshanda Green banged her own rebound past Windsor goaltender Molly Jenkins 12:21 into the frame. Her fourth of the season brought the Rams within one, but that would be as close as they would get.
 
The Lancers will now cross town to play the Toronto Varsity Blues at 3:00pm on Saturday afternoon.
