Box Score Rebecca Bouwhuis (Orillia/) stopped 36 of 37 shots and Nicole Ballantyne (Toronto/) and Sarah Wolfe (Waterloo/) scored for the Warriors as they topped the Windsor Lancers 2-1 at home on Sunday afternoon. 

The win put a halt to a three game losing streak and propelled Waterloo into a playoff spot with 10 points (4-9-2) on the season.  With the loss Windsor remain in fifth place with a 9-5-2 record.

The first two periods was all Windsor as they controlled the neutral zone and continually put the pressure on the Warriors, but Bouwhuis and her defence were able to weather the storm.

The best chance for the home side came off the stick of Kelly MacLean (St. George/) midway through the second period as she sped away on a partial breakaway but was turned aside by Lancer goalie Karlyle Robinson (St. Catharines) to keep the game locked at 0's.

The Warriors found the games opening goal early in the third on a beautifully set up power play goal.  The forward line of Maclean, Marissa Redmond (Ajax/) and Nicole Ballantyne (Toronto/) worked a perfect tic-tac-toe that was capped off by Ballantyne into the gaping net. 

Windsor continued their strong pressure but again the Warriors staved off the attack and held a 1-0 lead late into the game.  Windsor would force three straight offensive zone face-offs but it would be Sarah Wolfe (Waterloo/) who would ice the game with an empty netter with 38 seconds remaining in the contest.

Candice Chevalier (Essex) added a late goal for the Lancers to spoil Bouwhuis' shoutout bid but it would be too little too late as the Warriors would skate away with the 2-1 win.

Bouwhuis was the star of the game making several highlight reel saves in the second period while Robinson allowed one goal on 15 shots.

The Warriors close out 2012 next weekend with a pair of games against Laurier on Thursday and York on Sunday at home.
