Warriors faced a tough challenge in stopping University of Windsor Lancers 89-86 in a televised game on "Banner Day" at UW's Physical Activities Complex. Last Wednesday, Warriors had beaten their Crosstown rival Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks 9t-64' at WLU. Warriors, who allowed them, selves to be beaten 35-30 in rebounds on Saturday, were there to be had and Lancers nearly took them. Only the fine play of Rob Froese and a 32 point effort from Peter Savich saved Warriors from beconr ing victims of an upset. "A key player, minute in, minute out, was Rob Froese," said Warrior' coach Don McCrae. "His ability to offensively attack people kept us in the game." Froese finished with a very re- spectable 27 points. but the overall high scorer was Windsor's Rob Biasutttr, with 35. Also in double figures were Lancers Hunt Hool, with 21, and Jim Ranking means little as Warriors fight to beat Lancers Aebersold and McKerrow also scored. Warren Bullock replied for Stratford. Siskin forward Chris Archer suffered a knee injury Friday and was out of the lineup for Sunday's game.

Warriors' Randy Norris managed 13 points and 10 rebounds but had three early fouls called on him. While Savich had a big day on the scoresheet. the best from him may be yet to come since he missed most of the preseason due to an incredible series of injuries and illnesses. "We're still trying to fit Peter back into the lineup," said McCrae. "He's really only making his debut and the poor fail he's had is showing up in his conditioning." . Warriors opened their Ontario Universities Athletic Association season against WLU. Norris led the way in that one with 28 points and 14 rebounds. Golden Hawks opened with tough defence and went into an early NH lead before Warriors started to move midway through the first half.
