Sproviero is a veteran this team relies on to spark the offense and he did just that with this goal.

Despite the score Western found some life in the third period as they continued to pressure the Lancer defense.

Kolten Olynek scored another powerplay marker to bring the score to 5-2 in the third which brought with it another jolt of energy in the Mustangs legs.

Morrison plays tough minutes for the Mustangs and was rewarded for his efforts in the final game of 2021.

Western continues its struggles against the Windsor Lancers and could not come away with the win in the Saturday night game.

Dave Ovsjannikov was able to hold his own between the pipes tonight, despite the lopsided score, and kept the Mustangs in the game during crunch time.

Western will take their Christmas break with some learning lessons in hand and will return Friday January 7th against Guelph at 7pm.
