(MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO) For the third time in a week, the Windsor Express dismantled the Mississauga Power, this time 105-87 at the Hershey Centre on Wednesday night.
Windsor (17-7) busted out of the gate, outscoring the Power (7-19) 24-17 after the first quarter and taking a 51-39 lead into the half.
