Ontario University Athletics paid tribute to a three-year improvement in the fortunes of the Lancer women’s soccer squad, naming two players to its all-star team and honouring head coach Steve Hart as the division’s finest.

Forward Bella Riccardi and midfielder Laura Leece, both fourth-year students, received second-team berths.

“The two seniors provided Windsor with strong defensive play and veteran leadership throughout the year,” the league said in announcing the honours.

The team finished with an 8-7-1 record to earn Hart the nod as west division coach of the year.
