The No. 7 Lancer women's basketball team fell to the visiting No. 5 Queen's Gaels 73-56 on Saturday evening at the St. Denis Centre.
 
Windsor remains at the top of the standings in the OUA west division despite the loss with a 8-2 record, while the Gaels remain the only undefeated team in the conference with an 8-0 record.
 
Tied at eight halfway through first, Lancer head coach Chantal Vallee called a time out to regroup. Although Carly Steer came out of the break to score a three, Queen's went on an 11-7 run to lead 19-15 after ten minutes.
 
Queen's continued to pressure the Blue & Gold throughout the second quarter, twice stopping the Lancers from in bounding the ball and going on another run (12-2) early on in the quarter to build a 41-23 lead at the half.
 
Windsor continued to struggle throughout the third quarter before rebounding in the fourth to outscore the Gaels 25-19 in the final ten minutes. The push wasn't enough, however, as the Gaels earlier dominance earned them the win.
 
Lancers were led by rookie Kayah Clarke with 14 points and 3 rebounds, and Emily Prevost with a double-double 12 points and 10 rebounds. Queen's was led by Abby Dixon 15 points.
 
The Lancers will now host the Western Mustangs on Wednesday, January 11th as part of Rivalry Night and the Lancer Beach Party. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:00pm and fans are encouraged to wear Hawaiian clothing to participate in the event.
