Looking ahead, the Lancer men’s volleyball and hockey teams will compete for national titles in their respective sports this weekend after second-place finishes in their Ontario University Athletics playoffs.

On the ice, Windsor hosted the defending champion UQTR Patriotes for the Queen’s Cup on Saturday, but came up short in a 3-2 thriller decided in triple overtime. Goaltender Nathan Torchia turned away 56 of 59 shots through 100:38 minutes of play; Matt McNamara and Nolan Gardiner each scored a goal and an assist for the blue and gold. The team is seeded fourth in the University Cup tournament this weekend in Charlottetown, and will open by meeting the Alberta Golden Bears at 11 a.m. Friday, March 17.

On the court, Lancer men’s volleyball advanced to the Forsyth Cup final for the first time in program history, but had to settle for silver, losing to the three-time champion McMaster Marauders 14-25, 16-25, and 21-25. The squad will head back to Hamilton as the No. 5 seed in the national title tournament, starting with a match against the Sherbrooke Vert & Or at 3 p.m. Friday, March 17.
