OSHAWA, Ont. - The Durham College women's basketball team maintained their position near the top of the OCAA east division, defeating the Loyalist Lancers 78-47 on Tuesday night at the Campus Recreation and Wellness Centre.

The win was the fourth consecutive victory for the green and gold, lifting their record to 7-2 to hold onto a three way tie for second place in the east alongside George Brown and UTM. 

Once again, the Lords stifling defence led the way to the win. Durham held the Lancers to just 27 percent shooting, forcing 22 turnovers, while picking up nine steals and four blocks. The evening was highlighted by a 21-8 second quarter, with the Lords building an insurmountable lead.

DC will look to jump ahead of the aforementioned George Brown Huskies as they welcome the OCAA east division opponent to the CRWC on Tuesday, Jan. 21 for the important second half contest. Tip-off for the match is scheduled for 6 p.m., with the game webcast on OCAA LIVE.
