GAME FLOW
Windsor came out of the gate slow and struggled to run their game plan allowing the Queen's defense the opportunity to up the aggressiveness and run a full court press. Windsor stayed in the game with some timely three-point shots, however, they were unable to contain Alaire who put up 27 of her 34 points in the opening half.
 
The Lancers again struggled offensively at the start of the third but were able to contain the Gaels three-point shooting to just one make from behind the arc. Queen's shot an impressive 63-percent from behind the three point line in the first half. Windsor finally found its rhythm in the fourth and powered their way to their second straight win.
 
UP NEXT
The Lancers will be playing host to the Ottawa Gee-Gees next Friday night, November 9th, at 6:00pm here at the St. Denis Centre.
