The Lancer women’s basketball team was named the OUA Female team of the month for the month of March, as announced today by the OUA.
The Lancers had their best season ever, winning a silver medal at the CIS women’s basketball championship in Hamilton, Ont. The Lancers lost out to the Simon Fraser Clan 77-56 in the national final, but they improved on a fourth-place finish in 2008-09 in just their second trip to the CIS tournament.
The Lancers repeated as OUA champions, defeating the Ottawa Gee-Gees 83-55 in the conference final. The Lancers had a 24-1 record against OUA opponents in both the regular season and playoffs, matching their 2008-09 record. The Lancers won their first two games at the national tournament before losing to Simon Fraser.
OUA West and CIS rookie of the year Jessica Clemençon wrapped up a terrific season by being named Windsor’s most valuable player in the championship final, as well as a CIS tournament all-star.
