The Lancer women's basketball team fell 64-52 to the McMaster Marauders Wednesday night in Hamilton at the Burridge Gym.

It was just the Lancers third loss of the year, and are now 8-3 on the season while remaining atop the standings in the OUA west division.

Emily Prevost led all scorers with a game high 23 points and a team high 8 rebounds.

Windsor was held to just a 31.7% field goal percentage, while the hosts finished the game at 39.7%.
 
GAME FLOW
Often within the striking distance of a one or two-basket deficit, the Lancers never led in Wednesday's contest.
 
Their best chance of a comeback came with 3:30 to play, as Jordan Gutt capped a strong stretch of play with a jumper to bring her team within five at 57-52, and the Marauders missed two looks at the other end.
 
But a pair of missed Windsor shots were punished by a make from McMaster's Lexie Spadafora at the other end, effectively putting the game beyond reach.


UP NEXT
Windsor will travel to Waterloo on Saturday January 6th to take on the Laurier Golden Hawks at 6:00pm. The game can be seen live at oua.tv. 


The Lancers will make their first appearance of the year at the St. Denis Centre on Wednesday January 17th when they host the Marauders at 6:00pm.
