WINDSOR, Ont.- The Windsor Lancers men's basketball team used a
balanced attack to topple the visiting Western Mustangs 73-58 on
Senior's Night at the St. Denis Centre Tuesday evening.
No. 5 Windsor (15-5) had 10 of its 11 dressed athletes notch five
or more points on the evening, helping the men move within one game
of the No. 7 McMaster Marauders (16-4), who lead the OUA West
division. The Lancers also increased their current winning streak
to eight games with the victory, and will look to extend that run
into double-digits with two more conference games remaining this
week before the start of the playoffs.
Windsor's leading scorer Enrico Diloreto tied a game-high with 12
points, while Rotimi Osuntola Jr. and Mike Rocca each added 10 for
the home side, who ended their regular season at the St. Denis
Centre with an impressive 11-1 mark. Lien Phillip notched a
team-high eight rebounds and picked up five points. Eric McDonald
led the Mustangs with 12 of his own, with Greg Morrow and Cameron
Morris each totalling 11 and 10 points respectively in a losing
cause. Western (8-12) dropped to 4-7 on the road and are currently
fourth in the OUA West.
Following the contest, Windsor honoured three of the program's most
decorated athletes, as fifth-years Phillip, Diloreto and Josh
Collins were all recognized for their outstanding contributions on
the court and in the community. Phillip, last year's OUA West
player of the year and CIS all-Canadian, is having another MVP-like
season in his final campaign, ranking first in the nation with 12.9
rebounds per game. Diloreto became the men's program's all-time
career points leader two weekends ago, while teammate Collins took
over the all-time career assists lead on that same weekend. Both
have been given OUA all-star nods during the illustrious
careers.
The men will wrap up their conference play on Wednesday evening in
Waterloo and Saturday afternoon at Brock. Windsor, who has already
earned a bye through the first round of the playoffs, will then
host an OUA quarter-final match-up next weekend with a ticket to
the Wilson Cup Final Four on the line. The 2014 Wilson Cup,
presented by Recharge with Milk, is taking place at Ryerson
University's Mattamy Athletic Centre for a second straight year
from February 28 to March 1.
