Oshawa, Ont. – After finishing off the first half of the season at 8-2, the long holiday break had nothing on the Lancers' winning mentality as they continued to put forth an amazing effort with a 89-78 victory over the Durham Lords.
The first quarter of play saw several lead changes before the Lancers managed to close it out with a 5 point lead. Things got interesting in the second quarter as it was back and forth the entire quarter until the visiting Lancers ended the quarter on a 12-3 run. The halftime break helped only proved to bolster momentum, ending the third with the Lancers ahead 72-62. The Lancers held onto the lead through forth and eventually defeated the Lords 89-78.
