The Lancer women's hockey team fell 5-2 to the No. 1 ranked Guelph Gryphons as part of Guelph's "Fight for Kevin" game on Sunday on the road.
 
The 3rd annual game was played to remember Kevin Siddall, a Windsor native and the younger brother of former Gryphon goalie Brooke Siddall, who tragically lost his battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma on Feb. 4, 2014 at the age of 14. Funds raised at Sunday's game go to Childcan, a charity that supports children and families impacted by childhood cancer.
 
The Gryphons built a 3-0 lead but the Windsor offence came alive midway through the final period. Taylor Conte wristed a shot past Stephanie Nehring at 7:13 to get the Lancers on the board and less than two minutes later, Hillary Hettwer scored on a deflection to cut the Guelph lead to one.
 
But the Lancers rally was quickly snuffed out as Brittany St. James put Guelph back in control minutes later. Windsor turned the puck over and St. James beat Windsor's Ingrid Sandven high on the blocker side at 13:07. Averi Nooren added a power-play goal in the final minute to wrap up a strong performance.
 
The Lancers return home this weekend for their final pair of regular season home games as they host the Waterloo Warriors on Friday night, followed by the Western Mustangs on Saturday.
