The Windsor Lancer women's basketball team took to the court to take on the Brock Badgers on Saturday evening on the road. The Lancers started things off slow, while the Badgers bounced out to an early lead, but despite the lacklustre start, the Lancers came through in the end winning 68-52.

The victory keeps the Lancers in a three-way tie for first place in the west with the McMaster Marauders and Lakehead Thunderwolves.

GAME FLOW
The Lancers sputtered out of the gate in St. Catherine's as the Badgers capitalized on the Blue and Gold's slow start, establishing a small lead in the early going. With the Lancers offense in the rears and the Badgers' lead sustaining itself, the Lancers needed a spark. That spark came in the form of Teny who was the Lancers only consistent scoring option throughout the game. Despite their early offensive woes, the Lancers found themselves ahead 23-19 at the break.
Â
Teny scored 25 points for the Lancers with 19 of them coming in the second half. The Lancers slowly but surely built up their lead as their two-point lead at half ballooned into a double digit lead by the fourth quarter. With no answer for the masterful shooting of Teny, the Badgers fell to the Lancers 68-52.
