The Warriors erased the memory of a lopsided loss to the Western Mustangs a night ago by defeating the Windsor Lancers 2-1 in a shootout on Saturday afternoon.

It was a tight checking, heated affair as the two teams met for the first time since Windsor knocked the Warriors out of the playoffs in double overtime last year.

Danny Anger tallied early in the first period for Windsor on a nice passing play from Kyle Nishizaki and Kyle Makaric.

That was the last of the scoring until the third period when the Warriors tied the game up at the 14:26 mark of the period. Josh Schappert (Winnipeg, Man.) took a pass from Kyle MacDonald (Inverness, N.S.) and Tyler Moir (Calgary. Alb.) for the goal.

Neither team could score in the overtime frame, as the game headed into a shootout to determine who would pick up the extra point.

Kurt Thorner (St. Thomas, Ont.) and Steve Whitely (Petrolia, Ont.) were successful in their shootout attempts to give Waterloo the 2-1 shootout victory. 

Lancer goaltender Jim Watt stood on his head facing 40 shots on the night, while Waterloo's Justin Leclerc (Saskatoon/) was equal to the task facing 30 shots of his own while stopping two of three Lancer shooters in the shootout.
