Lancers to support Windsor Olympian
Three-time world champion boxer Mary Spencer will join the women’s basketball team for its half-time show Saturday with a demonstration of her own abilities. The team will make a donation toward Spencer’s fund raising for the 2012 Olympics, and invites fans to contribute as well.
“We wanted to do something as a team to support Mary's quest for gold at the London Olympics,” said head coach Chantal Vallée. “We have used her as an example to motivate us before important games.”
Volleyballers named to provincial all-star teams
Ontario University Athletics named Lancers Kyle Williamson and Kaila Seguin to its volleyball all-star teams.
