Lancer teams to compete for national titles

Four Lancer teams will compete for national titles next weekend, but only the women’s basketball team will go in as provincial champions. Coach Chantal Vallée’s squad won a third straight Ontario University Athletics banner—its sixth in the last seven years—with a 71-51 home-court win Saturday over the Ryerson Rams.
