The postseason has arrived, and the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) playoffs are officially underway for the Windsor Lancers.

With multiple teams competing for provincial championships starting this week, the Lancers are calling on fans to rally behind the blue and gold to “Protect Our House.”

The Toldo Lancer Centre and Capri Pizzeria Recreation Complex will serve as key battlegrounds for Windsor’s home contests. 

The third-ranked men’s volleyball and 10th-ranked women’s basketball teams will host quarterfinal games this weekend, while the women’s hockey team hosts the Brock Badgers in the OUA west division play-in game on Saturday. 

The blue and gold will also see action on the road, as men’s basketball travels to Guelph for Round 1 of the postseason, while women’s volleyball heads to Hamilton for quarterfinal action Friday against the McMaster Marauders.

The nationally ranked track & field team heads to York for the OUA Championships on Friday and Saturday.

The men’s hockey team – currently ranked eighth in the country – have earned a first-round bye, clinching the west division regular season title for the sixth time in seven years.

With championship aspirations on the line, fans are encouraged to pack the stands and create a true home-field advantage as the Lancers aim to advance deep into the postseason.
