In their final game of the 2015-16 season, the Lancer women's hockey team ended their season with a 5-4 loss to the York Lions Saturday night in Toronto.
 
The Lions took a three goal lead early in the first period before the Lancers fired back with three goals of their own to tie the game at 14:15 of the second period.
 
Shawna Lesperance scored at 13:52 to get the Blue & Gold on the board and then added her second goal of the game on the power play at 8:49 of the second to bring the game within one. Shailyn Waites then added a power play marker of her own at 14:15 to tie the game at three.
 
The Lions would regain the lead just four minutes later with a pair of goals just 30 seconds apart to hold a 5-3 advantage. However, their lead was cut to just one a minute later when Taylor Conte scored unassisted at 19:29.
 
Neither team was able to capitalize on any opportunities in the third as the Lions held on to the lead until the final buzzer.
