The Lancer basketball programs will kick-off their post season action this Wednesday when they host the first round of the OUA playoffs at the St. Denis Centre.
 
The Lancer women will host the Laurier Golden Hawks at 6:00pm, followed by the men who will welcome the Laurentian Voyageurs at 8:00pm.
 
Tickets for the game can be purchased at the gate starting at 5:00pm. Adults are $12, while Youth & Seniors are $10. The game can also be watched live on TVCogeco Windsor and at www.oua.tv.
 
WOMEN
This will be the third time the Lancers (15-5) and Golden Hawks (9-11) have faced-off this year. The two teams opened up the regular season against each other back in November, with the Lancers coming away with an 85-80 victory. Windsor then won another close contest at the end of January 72-69 on the road at Laurier.
 
The January 27th win against the Hawks kicked off quite the win streak for the Blue & Gold, as they have lost only one game from then until the end of the regular season last Sunday. The Hawks, however, have only won three games since the end of January, including the regular season finale last week against Waterloo.
 
As a team, the Lancers average 75.3 points per game compared to Laurier's 68.1, and also out-rebound the Hawks 43.7 to their 39.4 per game.
 
PLAYERS TO WATCH
WINDSOR – The duo of Cheyanne Roger and Emily Prevost will be a handful for the visiting Hawks, with both athletes averaging over 14 points per game. Defensively, Roger leads the way for the Blue & Gold. She finished the regular season averaging 8.6 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1.5 steals per game. Prevost is also not shy on the defensive side of the ball either, averaging 9.1 rebounds per game.
 
LAURIER – The Lancers will have to keep an eye on Nicole Morrison and Kaitlyn Schenck when the Hawks enter the building on Wednesday. Morrison finished the regular season with 15.6 ppg and 5 rpg, while Schenck averaged 11.7 ppg and 3.7 rebounds per game.

 
MEN
In their lone meeting during the regular season, the Lancers came away with a twenty point victory, 82-62 less than a month ago at the St. Denis Centre.
 
Windsor heads into the game riding a nine game win streak that started back on January 27th against the Laurier Golden Hawks. The Voyaguers, however, have only won two games in that same time span, and are currently on a four game skid.
 
As a team, the Lancers finished the regular season averaging 80.3 points per game compared to Laurentian's 70.4, and also out-rebounded the Voyageurs 37.1 to 35.4 over the course of the season.
 
PLAYERS TO WATCH
WINDSOR – All eyes will be on Alex Campbell as he plays his final game at the St. Denis Centre. The fifth year guard averaged 21.5 points over the regular season and led the team defensively with 6.6 rebounds a contest. The Voyaguers will also have to keep their eyes on rookie Isiah Osborne and sophomore Marko Kovac, as the tandem also put up double figures consistently throughout the season, averaging 15 and 12.2 points, respectively. The team's depth continues on the defensive side on the ball with the pair of Tyler Persaud and Randy Oriakhi. Persaud was solid on the board with 5.8 rebounds per game over the course of the year, while Oriakhi was right behind him at 5.6.
 
LAURENTIAN – The visitors have a threesome that will give the Lancers a bit of trouble. David Aromolaran (14.7 ppg), Anthony Iacoe (14.6 ppg), and Sam Hirst (13.3) led the way for the Voyaguers during the regular season. Hirst was also solid on the boards with 7.4 rebounds per game.
