GAME FLOW
The Lancers struggled right out of the gate as the Marauders opened with a 13-0 run off of some sharp shooting from behind the three-point line. Windsor started to find the net midway through the first quarter, but the Marauder lead was too much and they trailed 28-14 heading into the second.
