The Windsor Lancers women's basketball team hit the court on Friday night looking to tune up for the playoffs and defend their home court against the Waterloo Warriors.
 
The Lancers, sitting second in their division are soundly in playoff position and looking to make sure they're playing their best basketball come playoff time. They did just that, dispatching the Warriors in a lopsided 79-44 decision.
 
 GAME STATS
The Lancers were led by Nyamuoch Teny and her 16 points. The Warriors offense was led by Aphia Ward who scored nine points.
 
Windsor also handily won the battle on the boards. As a team, the Blue and Gold brought down 43 rebounds, led by Emily Prevost with seven, compared to Warriors who recovered just 23.
 
GAME FLOW
The Lancers came out of the gates a little sluggish. The Lancers struggled to separate from the Warriors on the scoreboard and it looked like the Lancers and their fans would have a long game to sit through.
 
Luckily the Blue and Gold got things going in the second with a 27-point quarter. While the Lancers offense was having their way in the second quarter, their defense was playing just as well, allowing a stingy nine points the entire quarter. After a rough start the Lancers went into the half with the lead, 43-24.
 
The Lancers came out scoring again the second half, putting in a 23-point third quarter. Teny led the Blue and Gold with 16 points as the Lancers built a strong and growing lead on the Warriors. The Lancers biggest lead was 35 with just over a minute left as they went on to win in convincing fashion, 79-44.
