The No.8 Ryerson Rams came from behind to defeat the No. 5 Lancer women's basketball team 59-55 on Saturday afternoon in Toronto.
 
The loss was Windsor's first of the year, and moved them to 7-1 on the season while maintaining first place in the OUA west division, while the Rams improved to 6-1 and are tied for first in the east.
 
In a battle of two of the OUA's top defences, Ryerson held the Lancers under 60 points for the first time this season and scored 22 points in the fourth quarter to erase an eight-point Lancer lead.  

The Rams jumped out to an 8-0 lead and held Windsor scoreless for the first four minutes. Ryerson led 16-12 after ten minutes, but Windsor was able to make the quick adjustment.

The Lancers defence forced six Rams turnovers in the second quarter and limited Ryerson to just eight points as the visitors flipped the script to lead 30-24 at the half.

After a gritty third quarter, the Lancers led 42-37 heading into the final quarter. With about a minute remaining and the Rams leading by two, Cara Tiemens connected from three point range to increase their lead to five. 

Caitlyn Longmuir responded with a long-range three pointer but Gabriel-Robinson hit two free throws to seal the victory for the Rams.
 
Emily Prevost had huge game for the Lancers leading the Blue & Gold with 15 points and 9 rebounds.
 
The Lancers will now break until the New Year when they host the York Lions at 6:00pm at the St. Denis Centre. The game can be seen live at oua.tv.
