Lancers aim to advance to playoffs

By Aussiemarie Vizcayno

The University of Windsor’s football team has been working hard to advance to the playoffs this season.

The Lancer football team, under the guidance of head coach Joe D’amore is doing well so far this season.

Dylon Whitfield, 22, is a reciever for the team. Whitfield says they are on the same track to the playoffs as last year.

“I think that after being in a full year with him we are more aware of what is expected of us,” said Whitfield. “So I think just being under the head coach again after two years made it different.”

Whitfield said the players have the same mindset as the previous year.

“We still have the same mentality on the field, so being under the same coach for a full year makes a difference this year than last year,” Whitfield said.

Kyle Tyo, 21, a reciever for the Lancers, says the team is doing pretty well in it’s goal of making the playoffs.

“We made it into the playoffs last year and we are working towards that goal right now,” Tyo said.

The team has been working with their head coach for a full year now, while new systems in the offense and defense have been implemented.

Tyo expressed that the team needs to play a full four quarters.

“We need to start playing full games all four quarters,” Tyo said. “We played a few games where we only show up for either the first quarter or fourth quarter so our goal is to start playing that full quarter.”

He also said if they can do that they should be able to beat any team.

The Lancers will be playing the McMaster Marauders Oct 13. in Hamilton.
