The Lancers Men’s Hockey team closed out their season with an exciting shootout victory last Saturday over the Laurier Golden Hawks.
Starting the game by going down two quick goals, the Lancers rebounded with a big effort to tie the game up before the end of the first period.
Mark Voakes and Matthew Grennier scored for the Golden Hawks midway through the first, giving Laurier a two-goal lead. But the Lancers fired back, out shooting Laurier in the period, 20-8. Just 29 seconds apart, Jon Romic and Josh Gaynor erased the deficit and tied the game heading into the first intermission. >>

The Lancers men’s and women’s track and field teams both dominated the competition at the Team Challenge hosted by Windsor last weekend. The women’s team scored 117.5 points to win the meet, miles ahead of the second place Guelph team who scored 76.5. The men’s team also stood tall over their competition with a first-place finish of 94 points, way up on second-place Guelph who had 54 points.
The story for the Lancers this season continues to be about celebrating their decorated fifth-year veterans and introducing their top-notch recruits. Fifth-year veteran Geniene Plummer was among the dominating group that clinched another gold medal for the Lancers. Plummer’s gold-medal-winning 11.20 metre triple jump is another accomplishment for her trophy case. >>
