The Windsor Lancer men's soccer team closed out the 2024 OUA season with a doubleheader against the Laurier Golden Hawks.
 
While the Lancers were on the road Wednesday, the team returned to Alumni Stadium on Saturday for Senior's Day to recognize their graduating athletes who were playing in their final regular season home game.
 
Graduates of the men's soccer team this year include Otis Vacratsis, Kishon Cornwall, and Simon Grande. The seniors had outstanding careers at the University of Windsor and are wished the best of luck in the future.
