The University of Windsor Lancers men's basketball team dropped a 112-101 decision to the Queen's Gaels in their home opener on Friday, October 31 at Toldo Lancer Centre.

GAME FLOW
The Lancers battled closely all game long with Queen's, the Wilson Cup runner up last season, as each quarter was within eight points. The Gaels maintained small leads throughout the game, and only pulled away and cemented the victory late in the fourth quarter to hand the Lancers their first loss of the season.

STATS
Luke Grace had a strong night for Windsor, scoring 31 points on 91% shooting. Yohann Sam had 14 points and Bronson Chambers was the other Lancer with double-digit points, netting 11.
