Box Score Last March, the Waterloo Warriors men's hockey team dashed the hopes of the Windsor Lancers, eliminating them in the West division final and punching their own ticket to the University Cup national championship tournament. On Friday night, the Lancers exacted some revenge.

Windsor forward Derek Lanoue had three points and the Lancers scored four power play goals en route to a 5-2 win over the Warriors in a penalty-filled affair at the Columbia Icefield Arena on Friday night. Chris Chappell (Pickering/) and Colin Behenna (Waterloo/) countered for Waterloo (2-1-0), who suffered their first loss of 2013-14. The Lancers' victory was their second in a row, pushing their record to a matching 2-1-0.

The game was marred by a total of 98 penalty minutes and four misconduct penalties, but the Lancers made the most of their ten power play opportunities. Justin Leclerc (Saskatoon/) made 33 saves in the loss for the Warriors, while Parker Van Buskirk steered aside 31 shots to claim the win for the Lancers.

In the early stages of the first, the Warriors certainly didn't show signs of the slow legs that would cost them so dearly later on. Waterloo carried the play in the first few moments, earning six of the first seven shots registered. But with only 10 seconds left in their first man advantage of the night, Lanoue sneaked a seeing-eye shot through Leclerc's pads to open the scoring.

Chappell responded for the Warriors in the late stages of the opening frame. Hauling the puck from the corner across the goal mouth and backhanding it through Van Buskirk to even the score at 1-1 after one period.

The turning point of the game came at the 6:24 mark of the second period, when both officials called separate penalties on Warriors defencemen Ryan Hanes (Kanata/) and Jeff Einhorn (Red Deer/) on the same play. It took Lancers forward Eric Noel just 16 seconds to capitalize on the 5-on-3, and Kenny Bradford added a goal on the second power play opportunity to launch Windsor into a 3-1 lead. Julian Luciani's inspired solo effort rounded out the all-Lancers second period, as Windsor took a 4-1 advantage into the final twenty minutes.

With the score out of hand, the physical play and frustration began to surface in the third period. The biggest melee came just past the five-minute mark, where a stiff check and the resulting extracurriculars led to 22 penalty minutes alone in that one play. Windsor's Evan Stibbard and Behenna exchanged the only goals of the third period.

The Warriors will now regroup and get set to hit the road for the first time in 2013-14 when they face off against the York Lions and Western Mustangs next weekend.

Notes: The Warriors went 1-for-8 on the power play, while the Lancers went 4-for-10…Warriors defenceman Sam Caldwell (Cape Breton/) missed the game after suffering a head injury last weekend vs. Queen's…Chappell now has points in all three career CIS contests.
