The Lancer women’s basketball team fell to the Ottawa Gee-Gees 89-40 in the Ontario University Athletics championship game Saturday in Ottawa.

Windsor’s quest to retain the national title is not ended, though. The squad can win a trip to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championship tournament at the east regional qualifier this weekend. The Lancers will take on the Cape Breton Capers to open the tournament Friday in Ottawa.

The Lancers reached the OUA gold medal game by beating the Carleton Ravens 76-56 on Friday.

Goaltender Parker Van Buskirk was outstanding for Windsor through the playoffs.

The Lancers still have a chance to qualify for the national championship tournament and will play the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières in a game to determine a wild-card berth.
