The Lancers wasted no time in establishing their offense as the game's first points came off of a Mike Rocca three. Rocca led the Lancers from the beginning and under his lead, immediately began building and increasing a lead. While the Windsor offense was humming along, their defense was also putting forth an impressive effort, forcing the Thunderwolves to shoot a less than stellar 32.5 per cent from the field over the first half. Behind a 43 per cent shooting performance from behind the arc, the Lancers went into the break up big, 52-34.
 
In the second half it was more of the same as the Lancers offense hummed along with good efficiency. The Lancers continued their effort on the defensive end as well as they kept the Lakehead offense off pace and off the board. Despite Lakehead's adjustments, the Thunderwolves could not figure out the Lancers long ranged assault from beyond the arc.  Despite the game being four quarters this one was decided a l lot earlier as the Lancers won handily, 101-78.
