GAME FLOW
Windsor got off to a slow start and the Voyageurs quickly jumped on the poorly shooting Lancers, grabbing an early lead and hanging on to it. In the game's opening minutes, the game was close with the Lancers trailing by just one. However, the Voyageurs finished the quarter on a 15-1 run for a 26-9 lead over the Lancers. The second quarter was the same story as the Lancers struggled to get or make good looks, while Laurentian was humming along, putting the Lancers in a big hole with halftime approaching. Windsor shot just 25 per cent and failed to make a three in the first half, trailing the Voyageurs 59-24 at the break.
