The No. 10 Lancer women's basketball team defeated the host Lions 80-65 on Friday night at the Tait McKenzie Centre.
 
The win ties the Lancers for first place in the OUA west division with the Western Mustangs at a 12-4 record, while the Lions fall to 2-13 on the year.
 
A dominate first half lifted the Blue & Gold over the Lions, who picked up their game in the final quarter to give the Lancers a bit of trouble in the final ten minutes of play.
 
However, the Lancers steady play throughout the game gave them the road victory.
 
Emily Prevost and Kaylee Anagnostopoulos each totaled 16 points for Windsor. Prevost shot six for nine from the field, while Anagnostopoulos was seven for 11.
 
The Lancers will now cross town and take on the Queen's Gaels at Centre Court as part of the NBA's all-star game activities on Saturday afternoon at 4:30pm. The game can be seen live at www.oua.tv.
