The Lancer men’s and women’s basketball teams will open the 2011-12 season with a pair of home games this weekend at the St. Denis Centre. Windsor will host the Laurentian Voyageurs on Friday and the York Lions on Saturday; the women will play at 6 p.m. and the men at 8 p.m. both nights.

Fans will want to be sure to attend Friday, as the Department of Athletics honours the University of Windsor’s three reigning Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championship teams.

The women's basketball team will celebrate with a banner-raising ceremony prior to the starting tip-off. The men’s and women’s track and field teams will be recognized at halftime of the women's game.
