Caitlyn Longmuir had a solid first half for the Blue & Gold leading the way with 12 points in the first twenty minutes.

Windsor was on fire in the third quarter forcing the Mustangs to call a time out just five minutes into the frame after the Lancers opened up the scoring following a 17-3 run to open the quarter. The Lancers continued to dominate the floor for the remainder of regulation to come away with the victory.

Longmuir finished with a game high 17 points, while Emily Prevost had the games only double-double with 15 points and 15 rebounds. Kayah Clarke and Carly Steer also hit double digits with 12 and 10 points, respectively.

Mackenzie Puklicz led the way for Western with 16 points.
