Box Score Saturday afternoon the Guelph Gryphon's women's basketball team found themselves undermanned facing the defending national champions, and were overwhelmed by a solid team effort by the Windsor Lancers, dropping a 75-42 matchup at the W.F. Mitchell Centre. With the win, the Lancers improve to 17-2 on the season, while Guelph drops to 7-11 on the season.

Bojana Kovacevic led all scorers, netting 18 points for the Lancers, while adding eight rebounds and six assists, all game highs. Jocelyn LaRocque came off the bench to contribute 17 points on 4-5 shooting from deep. Jessica Clemencon added 12 points while seeing limited action.
  Samantha Russell led the Gryphon's with 12 points, while Alyssa Shortt chipped in nine points to go with eight rebounds. As a team, the Gryphon's shot just 26%, while being outrebounded 42-22 against a Lancers team that has the best size in the nation.

Both teams came out with tons of energy early on as each squad took turns trading buckets. The Lancers finally got on a run, finishing the first quarter on a 10-1 run to open up a 20-11 lead after the first quarter. Kovacevic netted seven in the opening frame, with Clemencon adding six points and four rebounds.

Windsor was able to extend their lead in the second quarter thanks to improved ball movement in attacking the Gryphon's zone defence. Once the ball movement improved, the Lancers were able to heat up from deep, draining four three-pointers in the second to turn a nine point lead into a 15 point halftime advantage. Clemencon and LaRocque played big in the quarter, and led all scorers with 12 and 10 points respectively entering the break. Russell and Shortt led Guelph with six and five points each.

Guelph came out playing tough defence in the second quarter, and were able to cut into the Lancers lead behind Shortt and her ability to attack the bucket, but still found themselves trailing 54-37 after the third quarter, and were unable to get much going offensively in the fourth, being outscored 21-5 in the final frame.

The Gryphon's will look to the road to end their two game losing streak when they take on the Laurier Golden Hawks Wednesday, February 8^th in Waterloo. Tipoff is scheduled for 6pm.
