Midway through their season, the Lancer football team is looking to get back in the win column after falling 41-18 to the No. 6 Ottawa Gee Gees on Saturday afternoon at Alumni Field.
 
With the loss, the Lancers move to 1-3 on the season, while Ottawa remains undefeated at 4-0 heading into the Panda Game next week against the Carleton Ravens (3-2). Windsor will host the Toronto Varsity Blues (1-4) next Saturday on Alumni Weekend.
 
Ottawa opened the scoring early when Derek Wendel found Trevor Kennedy in the end zone with an 8-yard pass three minutes into the contest, which was followed by a Bryce Vieira 4-yard run four minutes after. Windsor defensive lineman Nick Simone blocked the convert on the second attempt, and kicker Clark Green put up a nice 20-yard field goal late in the quarter as Ottawa led 13-3 after one.
 
After Green kicked one through the endzone for a rouge early in the second, Lewis Ward kicked his first of many field goals to increase the Gee Gees lead. Ward went four-for-four on the day, including an impressive 46-yard attempt.
 
Trailing 23-4 heading into the third quarter, Windsor went 91-yards down the field and put Tarrence Crawford into the end zone five minutes into the frame. The Lancers held Ottawa to just a field goal and a safety in the quarter, out-scoring them 7-5.
 
The Lancers added another TD in the fourth from Jeff Masson, but two more Ward field goals and a score by Mitchell Baines late in the game secured the win for the visitors.
 
Rookie Daniel Metcalfe was outstanding for the Lancer defense leading all players with 13 total tackles (9 solo, 8 assisted), while linebacker Frank Renaud was equally as impressive with 12.5 tackles (9 solo, 7 assisted).
 
Quarterback Casey Wright came into the game and finished with 204 yards, going 17-30-1 and a touchdown. On the ground, Crawford led all rushers with 102 yards on 15 carries while Cassell Jones had 89 yards in the air.
 
For Ottawa, Wendel had a solid day going 29-42-1 for 402 yards, while running back Vieira finished the game with 82 yards and a TD. Kennedy was equally impressive on the day ending the game with 105 receiving yards on ten carries and a touchdown.
 
Windsor is back at home next Saturday afternoon, when they host the Varsity Blues at 1:00pm. It is Alumni Weekend for the Blue & Gold and the Lancers will honour their Alumni Sports Hall of Fame Inductees.
