HEAD COACH AND MANAGER OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONS

MICHAEL FAULDS

MANAGER OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONS, HEAD COACH & QB COACH

@MichaelFaulds

Michael Faulds enters his sixth season as manager of football operations and head coach for the Golden Hawks.

Since taking over the program prior to the 2013 season, Faulds has returned Laurier to prominance across U SPORTS football, guiding the team to back-to-back Yates Cup appearances while holding down a spot in the national rankings every week for the past two seasons.

Last season, Faulds and the Golden Hawks posted a 6-2 mark in the regular season to finished second in the conference standings. The six wins marked the first time since 2009 that the purple and gold had posted six or more wins in back-to-back seasons and improved Faulds’ regular season record to 22-18 with Laurier.

The Hawks carried over that success to the playoffs as they eliminated McMaster in the OUA Semifinals for the second consecutive year to reach their 22nd Yates Cup final. Although Laurier fell to eventual Vanier Cup Champions, the Western Mustangs, Faulds and the Golden Hawks continued to prove why they are among the elite programs in the country.

On top of the team success, Faulds continued to show he can produce individual talent as Kurleigh Gittens Jr. became the second Golden Hawk to win OUA MVP under his tenure while another three players, Godfrey Onyeka, Isaiah Guzylak-Messam and Rashari Henry, were drafted to the CFL.

Since taking over as head coach of the purple and gold, Faulds has overseen 18 athletes who have been named CIS/U SPORTS Academic All-

Prior to joining Laurier, Faulds has enjoyed coaching succes on the international stage. In 2012, he served as the quarterback coach for Team Canada at the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) U19 World Championship, helping guide the team to a 23-17 victory over the heavily-favoured American squad in the gold medal game. He reprised the role in February 2015 when he coached Team World at the International Bowl in Austin, Texas.

His path into coaching is grounded in a stellar career as a player at both the CIS and international level. A graduate of Western University with both a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Kinesiology, specializing in coaching, Faulds is the owner of two of the most prestigious records in CIS history, including the CIS all-time passing record of 10,811 yards as well as the single season passing record of 3,033 yards, which he set in 2009. That same season he also was named the OUA Most Outstanding Player while guiding the Mustangs to the Yates Cup. He also earned Yates Cup MVP honours in both 2007 and 2008 after leading Western to the OUA championship.

Outside of the CIS, Faulds had a decorated career with Team Canada, serving as the U19 quarterback on three occasions, including 2000, 2002 and 2003. He also guided Canada to a silver medal at the IFAF Senior World Championship in Austria in July, 2011.

“MFOOT shut-out Toronto in season opener” “Golden Hawks hold Varsity Blues to 75 yards of total defence in 39-0 victory”

by Dan Polischuk

Somewhat overshadowed in the otherwise dominant defensive effort (which, surprisingly, didn’t include any forced turnovers), was Knevel posting a career-high 341 passing yards (25/39, 1TD 0 INT). His favourite target on the day was receiver Kurleigh Gittens Jr. from Ottawa, Ont., who hauled-in nine catches for a game-high 110 yards. A 2016 all-star on special teams, Gittens Jr. also added 128 total return yards.

WATERLOO, Ont. (August 28, 2017)- With its defence in mid-season form and quarterback recording a career-high passing performance, the Laurier Golden Hawks were able to coast to a 39-0 Week 1 win over the Toronto Varsity Blues at home on Sunday afternoon.

When all was said and done, Laurier would finish with 492 yards of total offence.

It was the kicking game that got the Golden Hawks on the board just under five minutes into the game though, thanks to a 44-yard field goal by Waterloo native, Nathan Mesher. Ten minutes later, running back Osayi Iginuan of Hamilton, Ont., converted a goal line opportunity with a one-yard touchdown plunge to give Laurier a 13-0 lead.

Reflecting on his team’s opening week effort, Head Coach Michael Faulds was pleased to start with a victory and the balanced effort in all three phases.

“Our defense played outstanding, as we obviously got the shutout,” said Faulds, adding, “Special teams had some great returns and, offensively, we definitely had a better showing in the second half.”

Early in the second quarter, Toronto’s offensive possession would be short-lived as a high snap went over the outstretched arm of Varsity Blues starting quarterback Connor Ennis (Washington, D.C.) and into the endzone.

Out of desperation, Ennis kicked the loose ball out of bounds to concede the safety, increasing Laurier’s lead to 15-0.

The fifth-year coach was also quick to praise the contributions of the team’s rookies.

“We have guys like Kevantye Bailey who played in his first game and got a touchdown. So I am really pleased with how the young guys played as well.”

After two more Mesher field goals of 21 and 13 yards respectively, the Golden Hawks headed into the halftime break with an 18-0 lead but still searching for a consistent flow to their offensive game.

With a bye in Week 2, the Golden Hawks will host the Carleton Ravens (1-0) at University Stadium on Saturday September 9th. Kick-off under the lights is set for 7pm.

Answering the call was Carson Ouellette of Windsor, Ont., who, after hauling-in a short pass from quarterback Michael Knevel (Brantford, Ont.), shed a number of would-be tacklers over the course of 52 yards before diving into the end zone for Laurier’s second touchdown of the day.

The impressive running display would continue just over five minutes later as Levondre Gordon (Mississauga, Ont.) hit pay dirt on a 13-yard scamper to give Laurier a 32-0 lead.

The Golden Hawks’ third rushing touchdown of the game would come in the form of a 20-yard run by rookie Kevantye Bailey (Calgary, Alte.) with 4:38 remaining in

“MFOOT hangs on to beat Carleton” “Laurier moves to 2-0 with 38-35 win”

by Justin Fauteux WATERLOO, Ont. (Sept. 9, 2017) — The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team survived a late comeback attempt from the Carleton Ravens, holding on for a 38-35 win in front of 4,006 fans Saturday night at University Stadium.

Following the touchdown, Carleton was unable to convert an onside kick and the Hawks closed out the win.

The win improves the No. 6 Golden Hawks to 2-0 on the season while the Ravens drop to 1-2.

Carleton linebacker Leon Cenerini led all tacklers with 13 total (11 solo), while fifth-year Brandon Calver (London, Ont.) led the Golden Hawks with 7.5 tackles (6 solo).

Both teams had big nights offensively with Laurier racking up 576 yards of offence to Carleton’s 551.

Third-year running back Levondre Gordon (Mississauga, Ont.) was the offensive star for Laurier, rushing for a career-high 208 yards on 27 attempts, also a career high, while adding two touchdowns. Quarterback Michael Knevel (Brantford, Ont.) set a new career-high of his own, throwing for 373 yards, adding a touchdown. Meanwhile, fourth-year Kurleigh Gittens Jr. (Ottawa, Ont.) tied a careerhigh with 130 receiving yards on 10 catches.

Mesher finished 5/5 on field goals with a long of 45 yards.

His Carleton counterpart Mike Domagala was 1/2 on field goals but had a great night punting, averaging 46.9 yards per kick.

Laurier now holds an all-time record of 7-2-1 all-time versus Carleton. The Ravens most recent win over the Hawks came in 1965; all seven Laurier-Carleton match-ups prior to 2013 took place between 1963 and 1970.

For Carleton, first-year quarterback Michael Arruda had a huge evening, finishing the game 27/51 for 441 yards and four touchdowns. Arruda’s go-to target was fifth-year receiver Kyle VanWynsberghe, who caught eight passes for 160 yards.

Next Saturday, the Golden Hawks hit the road to take on the Queen’s Gaels (0-2) at Richardson Stadium in Kingston.

Kickoff at Queen’s is 1 p.m.

Three of Arruda’s four touchdown passes came in the fourth quarter as he engineered a 21-point frame that almost saw the Ravens mount an 18-point comeback.

NOTES: The Golden Hawks have now won their last seven games at home (including playoffs) dating back to week one of last season … Brothers Godfrey (Laurier) and Kene (Carleton) Onyeka (Brampton, Ont.) were both recently ranked among the top 10 draft prospects by the CFL Scouting Bureau … Saturday night’s game was the conclusion of Laurier’s Orientation Week for first-year students.

In the first quarter, Laurier built a 14-0 lead before the game was two minutes old on the strength of a four-yard touchdown run from Gordon and a six-yard touchdown pass from Knevel to Stu Smith (Mississauga, Ont.). The Golden Hawks would add a pair of Nathan Mesher (Waterloo, Ont.) field goals to lead 22-14 at halftime.

On the Ravens’ first drive of the third quarter Isaiah Guzylak-Messam (Hamilton, Ont.) picked off an Arruda pass to set up Gordon’s second touchdown run of the night, a 21-yarder. The Hawks would shut out the Ravens in the frame and take a 32-14 lead in to the fourth quarter.

“Smith, Knevel lead No.5 MFOOT over Queen`s” “The Golden Hawks improve to 3-0 with the 40-17 road victory”

by Justin Fauteux KINGSTON, Ont. (Sept. 16, 2017) — Robbie Smith (Brampton, Ont.) and Nathan Mesher (Waterloo, Ont.) set Laurier records while Michael Knevel (Brantford, Ont.) had another career day as the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team beat the Queen’s Gaels 40-17 Saturday afternoon.

After the teams traded field position through the third quarter, Laurier’s Brendan McCracken (Kitchener, Ont.) made a spectacular one-handed touchdown catch with just over a minute left in the frame to put the Golden Hawks ahead 33-17.

The Laurier defence snuffed out any hopes of a Queen’s comeback when Scott Hutter (London, Ont.) intercepted Hobbs early in the fourth quarter, leading to Gittens’ second touchdown catch of the day, making the game 40-17. Gittens finished with 90 yards on seven receptions.

On a hot, muggy day at Richardson Stadium in Kingston, the Golden Hawks dominated the time of possession battle, wearing down the Queen’s defence as Knevel threw for 399 yards, setting a new career high for the third straight week. The Laurier quarterback also threw four touchdown passes, marking another career best.

In addition to Smith’s record-setting day, the Hawks got sacks from Rashari Henry (Ottawa, Ont.), Trevaughan James (Whitby, Ont.), Alfred Green (Ajax, Ont.) and Sam Acheampong (Brampton, Ont.).

Defensively, Smith racked up 4.5 sacks on the day, setting a new Laurier single-game record, breaking the previous mark (four) set by Kwaku Boateng in 2014. The Laurier defence picked up eight sacks on the day, holding Nate Hobbs and the Queen’s offence to 241 net yards and shutting out the Gaels in the second half.

The win improves the Golden Hawks’ all-time record against the Gaels to 10-11 (including playoffs). Laurier has now won three straight over Queen’s, including last year’s 37-18 win in the season opener.

The win keeps the Hawks’ perfect record intact, moving them to 3-0 on the season, while the Gaels drop to 0-3.

Next week the Golden Hawks visit the 4-0 Waterloo Warriors for the latest instalment of the Battle of Waterloo.

Laurier owns an all-time record of 41-14-1 against Waterloo and have won the last 13 meetings. But the Warriors have had a resurgence this year in head coach Chris Bertoia’s third season at the helm and are fresh off a 45-43 win over Carleton.

Laurier opened the scoring mid-way through the first quarter when Brentyn Hall (Toronto, Ont.) caught his first touchdown of the season, winning a jump ball in the endzone on a 23-yard pass from Knevel. Hall finished the game with 111 yards on eight catches, leading all receivers.

After Laurier went ahead, the teams traded touchdowns as the Gaels’ Jaeden Washington scored on a one-yard touchdown run before the Golden Hawks responded with a 25-yard touchdown pass from Knevel to Kurleigh Gittens Jr. (Ottawa, Ont.).

This season the two occupants of University Avenue have added some extra intensity to the cross-town rivalry. The university with the best record from all contests between the Hawks and Warriors in baseball, basketball, football, hockey and soccer will be awarded the inaugural Battle of Waterloo trophy. So far the two schools are deadlocked with the Laurier-Waterloo men’s and women’s soccer games last weekend both ending in a draw.

Queen’s would take the lead following a Nick Liberatore 42-yard field goal and a 27-yard touchdown catch from Chris Osei-Kusi, which was set up by a Laurier fumble — the Golden Hawks’ first turnover of the season.

But the Hawks grabbed the advantage back before halftime when Osayi Iginuan (Hamilton, Ont.) ran it from four yards out with less than a minute on the clock. Nathan Mesher (Waterloo, Ont.) hit a career-long 52-yard field goal as the second quarter expired to give Laurier a 26-17 lead at the

“MFOOT takes the battle over Waterloo Warriors” “Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team wins 71-24 over the Waterloo Warriors in the highly anticiapted Battle of Waterloo game this past Saturday”

by Dan Polischuk

Aside from recording the highest point total of the season thus far, the Golden Hawks also set a season-high with 282 yards on the ground. It was all done quite efficiently as well (and despite a season-high 125 yards in penalties), with the Golden Hawks’ time of possession a full 11 minutes less than Waterloo’s.

WATERLOO, Ont. (Septemeber 23, 2017)- After a weeklong build-up of anticipation for this year’s edition of the Battle of Waterloo, it was the No.5 Laurier Golden Hawks coming away with a convincing 71-24 victory over No. 9 Waterloo Warriors at Warrior Field on Saturday afternoon.

Those offensive numbers almost overshadowed the continued strong play of the defence though, which only conceded three Caleb Girard field goals in the final 30 minutes of the game. The unit also forced two interceptions; one each by Shomari Hutchinson and Isaiah GuzylakMessam.

With the Golden Hawks only up by four points with just under seven minutes remaining in the first half, the game was developing into the close contest that many of the black and gold clad fans of the resurgent Warriors were hoping it would be.

That would all change in a span of 27 seconds though.

Trevaughan James, Sam Acheampong, Emerson Gourdet and Rashari Henry all recorded sacks as well.

After an Osayi Iginuan three-yard touchdown run to cap a 76-yard drive, Kurleigh Gittens Jr. returned a punt into the end zone before heading into the locker room for the halftime break to give Laurier a 33-15 lead.

With the Golden Hawks improving to 4-0 on the season, they now turn their attention to a highly-anticipated Homecoming match-up against the Western Mustangs – which could very well determine first place in the OUA and home field advantage for the playoffs.

The Golden Hawks offence would remain relentless in the ensuing two quarters of play, recording 24 in the third and 14 in the fourth.

Kick-off is at University Stadium on Saturday September 30th at 1pm.

Levondre Gordon started the scoring in the second half almost as quickly as the first, with his goal line plunge just 4:27 into the third frame getting things rolling.

Iginuan would add his second rushing touchdown of the game after breaking free for a 66-yard run just two minutes later.

Brentyn Hall, who recorded a season-high 144 yards on just three receptions, had most of it come on an 89 yard catch and run after hauling-in a pass from quarterback Michael Knevel.

Knevel would also find Kurleigh Gittens Jr. in the end zone from five yards out for his third TD pass of the game before giving way to his back-up Tristan Arndt.

After a long stretch of scoreless football, Joseph scored his second rushing touchdown of the game with 2:39 left in the third quarter, running it in from 34 yards out.

(WATERLOO, Ont. Sept. 30, 2017) — The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team fell 29-13 to the Western Mustangs Saturday afternoon in front of a Homecoming crowd of 7,166 at University Stadium.

The Golden Hawks scored their lone major of the game with 8:34 to play in the fourth quarter when Michael Knevel (Brantford, Ont.) threw his 10th touchdown of the season, hitting Daniel Bennett (Scarborough, Ont.) for his second touchdown in as many weeks.

The loss is the Golden Hawks’ first of the season, dropping them to 4-1. The Mustangs stay undefeated, improving to 6-0.

“Offensively we need to finish drives- we can’t settle for field goals,” said Faulds. “We need to put up more points against a high powered offence.”

Western quarterback Chris Merchant had a career day running the ball, rushing for 143 yards, leading a Mustangs run game that racked up 361 yards on the ground. Alex Taylor also had a big day for the Mustangs, running for 124 yards, while Cedric Joseph chipped in 80 rushing yards and scored both Mustang touchdowns.

Knevel set a new career high for completions in a game, finishing 33/45 for 317 yards and touchdown, recording his fourth game this season with at least 300 passing yards.

Levondre Gordon (Mississauga, Ont.) led the way on the ground for the Hawks, rushing for 107 yards on 18 carries — his second-straight 100-yard game and third of the season.

For the Golden Hawks, receiver Kurleigh Gittens Jr. (Ottawa, Ont.) finished one off the U Sports record for catches in a game, making 18 receptions for 174 yards. The current national record of 19 catches in a game was set by former Golden Hawk Andre Talbot in 2000 and tied by Alberta’s Tylor Henry last season.

Fifth-year linebacker Brandon Calver (London, Ont.) was the Golden Hawks’ leading tackler, picking up 11 total (eight solo) and adding a sack. The Hawks also got a sack from safety Scott Hutter (London, Ont.).

The win was a measure of revenge for the Mustangs, who fell 43-40 to the Golden Hawks in last year’s Yates Cup after a 21-point Laurier comeback in the fourth quarter.

The Golden Hawks are still looking for their first regularseason win against Western since 2006, a Mustangs regular-season winning streak that now spans ten games.

The Hawks’ Yates Cup win last season snapped a 13-game winning streak for Western against Laurier, including regular season and playoffs.

“Western is a good football team and I give credit to them because they were the better team today,” said Laurier head coach Michael Faulds. “I thought defensively at times we did a decent job. Any time you can hold Western at 29 points that is not a bad day at the office.”

Next week the Golden Hawks travel to Toronto to take on the York Lions, kicking off the Thanksgiving weekend with a Thursday night game. The Hawks hold a 38-6-0 alltime record against York and won the most recent meeting 74-3 last season. Kickoff at York’s Alumni Field is 7 p.m. on Oct. 5.

It was tough going for both offences through the first two quarters as both teams’ top-ranked defensive units kept the scoring limited mostly to field goals.

Both teams scored on their opening drives of the game, trading field goals in the first few minutes with Western’s Marc Liegghio hitting from 39 yards before Laurier’s Nathan Mesher (Waterloo, Ont.) answered with a 21-yard field goal. Mesher finished the game 2/3 on field goals while Liegghio went 5/5.

Gordon would eventually eclipse the century-mark for the third straight game, collecting 124 yards despite only carrying the ball 12 times.

Despite those numbers being posted, it was the 17 points recorded in the third quarter by the Lions (outscoring the Hawks’ 14) that made the fourth quarter a lot more interesting than perhaps it should have been.

“No. 5 MFOOT bounces back to down York” “QB Michael Knevel shines with career-best game as Hawks defeat Lions 53-31”

by Dan Polischuk TORONTO (October 6, 2017) - Looking for a bounce-back effort heading into their Thanksgiving long weekend, the No. 5 Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks’ offence feasted on the York Lions in a 53-31 win under the lights in Toronto.

A response to Gordon’s scoring play in the form of a Kadeem Hemmings 96-yard touchdown return on the ensuing kick-off. Gittens Jr.’s second touchdown catch was bookended by a Dante Mastrogiuseppe field goal and a run to pay-dirt by the aforementioned Brett Hunchak.

Having experienced multiple offensive season-lows in their Homecoming loss against Western – scoring output among them - the team rebounded for their fifth win of the season with a number of highs against the OUA’s worst defence.

Despite the Lions offence being permitted to heat-up, they would be completely extinguished in the fourth quarter as Head Coach Warren Craney’s team were limited to only Colton Hunchak’s second passing touchdown of the game.

At the forefront was quarterback Michael Knevel’s careerbest five passing touchdowns and 431 yards through the air on just 29 attempts. The Brantford native’s most frequent target on the night was, once again, Kurleigh Gittens Jr. – who parlayed his record-tying reception effort against Western with a career-high 210 receiving yards.

To secure the victory, the Hawks would add 17 more points – which included Daniel Bennett’s third receiving touchdown in as many games.

At the end of the night, the 627 yards of total yards for the Golden Hawks was a season-high.

Gittens Jr.’s numbers were boosted with touchdowns of 80 and 75 yards that came in the second and third quarter, respectively.

Currently holding-on to second place in the OUA despite being tied with McMaster at 5-1, Laurier will now head to Guelph looking to secure their hold on a first-round playoff bye with a win over the Gryphons.

It was his battery-mate on the opposite side of the field who would record the first touchdown catch of the game though.

It won’t come easy though as the Hawks have lost the last two trips down Highway 7 and four of the last five matchups overall.

Brentyn Hall (Torono, ON) capped Laurier’s second drive of the game with a 17-yard snag in the end zone after running back Levondre Gordon began the scoring for Laurier just 2:13 into the ballgame.

After recording a rouge off a Nathan Mesher (Waterloo, ON) kick and conceding a passing touchdown to the Hunchak-brothers connection (Colton to Brett), the Hawks headed into the halftime break having just executed the first of Gitten’s Jr.’s deep catches.

The start of the second half saw Gordon record his second rushing touchdown of the game, marking the third time this season that he has had a pair in a game. Additionally,

he left the contest late in the fourth quarter after taking a hit from a Gryphon defender. The third-year quarterback needs just 18 yards to set a new Laurier record for passing yards in a season, currently held by Bill Kubas at 2295 which he set back in 1994.

“Offence struggles as MFOOT falls to Guelph” “Golden Hawks shut out in first half, limited to 186 yards, in 24-14 loss to Gryphons”

by Jamie Howieson GUELPH, Ont. (October 14, 2017) – The No. 5 Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team ran into a stout Guelph defence on Saturday afternoon as the No. 10 Gryphons downed the purple and gold 24-14.

Gordon would wind up with 71 yards on 21 attempts to go along with his touchdown while receiver Kurleigh Gittens Jr. of Ottawa, added eight catches for 47 yards. Gittens Jr. continues to lead the country in both receptions (65) and receiving yards (839) and is now nine catches shy of matching the U SPORTS single season receptions record.

While Laurier’s defence was just as strong, holding Guelph’s offence out of the endzone, they couldn’t contain the Gryphons’ special teams. Kicker Gabriel Ferraro of Mississauga, Ont., accounted for 17 of the Gryphons points, including hitting five of his seven field goal attempts, and Jacob Scarfone of London, Ont., returned a missed field goal 122 yards for Guelph’s lone major of the day.

Defensively, Shomari Hutchinson of Lasalle, Que., and rookie Mario Pineda of Cambridge, Ont., making his first career start, led the way with 8.5 tackles each.

For Guelph, the majority of their offence came on the ground as fifth-year Johnny Augustine of Welland, Ont., rushed for 176 yards on 31 attempts. Quarterback Theodore Landers of Maple Ridge, B.C., making his second career start in the place of injured started James Roberts of Cambridge, Ont., had 86 yards rushing on 14 attempts while finishing the contest 13-of-20 through the air for 111 yards.

The opening half saw Guelph control the field as they held the Hawks to just six first downs while a trio of field goals and a single from Ferraro staked the to a 10-0 advantage.

Looking to cut the lead to seven, Nathan Mesher’s (Waterloo, Ont.) 39-yard field goal missed wide left and the dangerous Scarfone took over from there, finding the sidelines and returning it to the endzone to give Guelph a 17-0 lead.

Nicholas Parisotto of Guelph, Ont., and Luke Korol of Lynden, Ont., paced Guelph on defence with 9.5 tackles and an interception each.

The Hawks would get on the board two possessions later as a costly penalty by Guelph set them up on the one-yard line. Running back Levondre Gordon of Mississauga, Ont., would do the rest as he punched in his eighth touchdown of the season, moving into a tie for first in the OUA for rushing majors, to cut the lead to 17-7.

Despite the loss, Laurier can still clinch second place in the OUA and a bye through the first round of the playoffs with a win next Saturday at home against the McMaster Marauders (6-1) and a Western victory over the Ottawa Gee-Gees.

Kickoff against the Marauders is set for 1 p.m. on October 21 at University Stadium.

Another Ferraro field goal stretched Guelph’s lead to 13 but Laurier responded early in the fourth quarter. Facing a third and goal on the one-yard line, Knevel punched the ball into the endzone, giving Laurier life, trailing by just six, 20-14.

However, on the next possession, Ferraro connected on his fifth field goal of the afternoon to make it a two-score game once again.

Laurier would make one last push but couldn’t break through the Guelph defence as the Hawks dropped into a tie with the Ottawa Gee-Gees for third in the conference.

A tough afternoon for Knevel, who finished the game 17-of36 for 116 yards and an interception, was made worse as

After stumbling last week against the Guelph Gryphons, the Hawks came out of the gate strong as Arndt connected with both Gittens Jr. and Mario Villamizar of St. Catharines, Ont., to give Laurier a 14-0 lead after the first quarter.

WATERLOO, Ont. (October 21, 2017) – Buoyed by recordsetting performances from receiver Kurleigh Gittens Jr. and defensive lineman Robbie Smith, the No. 7 Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team defeated the No. 5 McMaster Marauders 40-15 on Saturday afternoon at University Stadium to clinch second place in the OUA standings.

McMaster cut into the lead on the first play of the second quarter as rookie quarterback Jackson White of Cambridge, Ont., hit Dan Petermann of Stoney Creek, Ont., for a 98-yard major.

Laurier responded with Arndt’s touchdown run two possessions later while Nathan Mesher of Waterloo, Ont., added a field goal after Smith forced a McMaster fumble to stake the Hawks to a 24-7 lead at the half.

Gittens Jr., a native of Ottawa, led the Hawks’ offensive barrage against the second-ranked defence in the country as he had 10 catches for 114 yards and a touchdown.

In the process, he became the U SPORTS single-season receptions leader with 75 and Laurier’s single-season receiving yards leader with 953.

The third quarter was much of the same for the Hawks as Elijah Fera of Windsor, Ont., scored his first touchdown of the season before Arndt connected with Daniel Bennett of Scarborough, Ont., for another major. A conceded safety left Laurier with a 40-7 lead after three quarters, an advantage they would make hold up over the final 15 minutes to come away with their sixth win of the season.

Meanwhile, Smith, originally from Brampton, Ont., led a defensive effort that held the Marauders to just 15 points.

Smith finished the game with 3.5 tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble and one pass breakup with his two sacks giving him 10.5 on the year to break the Hawks’ singleseason record of 9.5.

With a bye secured through the OUA quarter-finals, Laurier will have two weeks to prepare for their semifinal game on Saturday, November 4.

With the winner of Saturday’s game securing a first round playoff bye, Laurier turned to rookie quarterback Tristan Arndt of London, Ont., for his first career start with regular starter Michael Knevel of Brantford, Ont., sidelined due to injury.

Stay tuned to laurierathletics.com for complete playoff details.

NOTES: Attendance at the game was 1480… Gittens Jr.’s USPORTS receptions record broke the previous mark of 74 set by Waterloo’s Nick Anapolsky in 2013…his receiving yards record beat the old mark of 916 previously set in 1994 by Stefan Ptaszek…Smith’s sack record broke the mark set by Yannick Carter in 2006… Laurier finishes second in the OUA standings for the second consecutive year…Faulds’ all-time regular season record with the Hawks now sits at 24 wins and 18 losses through five seasons

Arndt, going up against a McMaster defence that had allowed just 10 or more points on two occasions going into the game, didn’t show any signs of nerves as he completed 18 of his 23 passing attempts for 213 yards and three touchdowns. He also led the team in rushing, posting 65 yards on three carries, highlighted by a 53-yard touchdown run in the second quarter that gave Laurier a 21-7 advantage.

“He was unbelievable,” said Faulds on his young quarterback. “That’s why we recruited Tristan out of London. We knew he was a very mature individual. We knew he was very calm out there and we’ve groomed him for a couple of years. And you never know when you’re going to get your opportunity. And sure enough he played amazingly. He knows he didn’t have to do too much and all he had to do was spread the ball to our talented receivers.”

“I cannot say enough about our defence,” added Faulds.

“Anytime you can hold a team to just six points in the playoffs, you’re not going to lose too many games when you do that.”

In a rematch of last year’s OUA Semifinals, marking the third consecutive year the teams have met in the postseason, Laurier took control of the contest with a touchdown on their opening drive of the contest. Posting 52 yards rushing on the opening drive, Gordon finished the eight-play, 71-yard march with a four-yard plunge to stake the Hawks to an early 7-0 lead.

MFOOT beats McMaster to return to Yates Cup “Mesher kicks four field goals, Hawks limit McMaster to 287 yards in 19-6 victory in semifinal rematch”

by Jamie Howieson WATERLOO, Ont. (November 4, 2017) – The No. 5 Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks earned the opportunity to defend their Yates Cup title after they shut down the No. 7 McMaster Marauders 19-6 in the OUA Semifinals on Saturday afternoon at University Stadium.

That scoreline would hold until late in the second quarter when McMaster put together their best drive of the half, an eight-play, 50-yard drive highlighted by a fake punt on third and two that put the Marauders on field goal position. After completing a 20-yard pass on that fake, kicker Adam Preocanin of Burlington, Ont., hit from 23-yards out to cut Laurier’s lead to 7-3 entering halftime.

The Hawks, who recorded their sixth straight playoff win over McMaster, found the endzone on their opening drive of the game. That advantage would hold up over the remaining four quarters thanks to an outstanding defensive effort that held the Marauders to just 287 yards and four field goals from Nathan Mesher of Waterloo, Ont.

Laurier had a great opportunity to stretch the lead to 11 on their first drive of the second half but Gordon was stuffed on third and goal from the two-yard line.

Rookie quarterback Tristan Arndt of London, Ont., made his second start in a row for the purple and gold and was strong in managing the game in windy conditions. He completed 17 of 26 passes for 189 yards but more importantly, didn’t turn over the ball against an aggressive McMaster defence.

However, two possessions later, the Hawks would extend their lead as Mesher hit his first field goal of the day from 27 yards out to give Laurier a 10-3 advantage after three quarters.

In the fourth, Preocanin hit his second field goal of the game early in the quarter, appearing to give the Marauders momentum.

“That’s the key in playoff football, Tristan didn’t turn the ball over and managed it well,” said Faulds of his young quarterback. “A couple of throws early on he would love to have back but when it counted most, he made some outstanding throws.”

But Laurier answered right back with an impressive sixplay, 60-yard drive into the wind, capped by a 22-yard field goal from Mesher to re-establish the 10-point cushion.

Arndt did a great job of getting the ball into the hands of his playmakers. Third year running back Levondre Gordon of Mississauga, Ont., led the purple and gold’s offence as he rushed the ball 21 times for 121 yards and the game’s lone touchdown. The nation’s leading receiver, Kurleigh Gittens Jr. of Ottawa, led all players with six catches for 70 yards, including three key receptions in the fourth quarter that helped set up Mesher’s third field goal of the game that gave Laurier a 16-6 lead.

“It was a huge response from our team,” said Faulds.

“Levondre broke a couple of big runs in the fourth and what can you say about Kurleigh Gittens. Some outstanding catches, big plays that were jump ball scenarios. And Daniel Bennett is another guy, made two outstanding catches on second down conversions.”

As for Mesher, he finished the game 4-for-6 on field goal attempts including three into the wind in the fourth quarter.

From there, the Hawks’ defence would shut down White and the Marauders and two more field goals from Mesher sent Laurier to their 23rd Yates Cup appearance.

Laurier’s defence also shone across the board as they intercepted McMaster quarterback Jackson White of Cambridge, Ont., on two occasions while also holding Marauders’ running back Jordon Lyons of Burlington, Ont., to just 115 yards a week after he ran for 319 yards in the OUA Quarter-finals.

The 110th edition of the Yates Cup will be overflowing with storylines as Laurier will meet Western in a rematch of last year’s classic, a 43-40 win for the Hawks that saw them post the largest fourth quarter comeback in OUA Championship history. The game will also mark the 15th time the two schools have met in the Yates Cup.

“MFOOT loses Yates Cup rematch to Western” “Mustangs blow open close game with 26 unanswered points in the second quarter en route to 75-32 win”

by Jamie Howieson

take home Yates Cup MVP honours, Western posted 26 points in the second quarter, highlighted by touchdowns from Joseph, Harry McMaster of Niagara Falls, Ont., and Brett Ellerman of Calgary.

LONDON (November 11, 2017) – The No. 5 Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks quest for back-to-back Yates Cup championships was snuffed out on Saturday afternoon as the No. 2 Western Mustangs rolled to a 75-32 victory in the 110th edition of the championship game at TD Stadium.

Determined to send a message after last year’s comeback by the Hawks, Western started off the third quarter by scoring another 11 straight points, including Joseph’s third touchdown of the game to stretch their lead to 38.

The Mustangs scored 26 unanswered points in the second quarter to blow open a close game as they took a 43-16 lead at halftime. Western continued to control the game in the second half, led by a very strong run game, as they put any hopes of another Laurier comeback to bed to advance to the Uteck Bowl.

Mario Villamizar of St. Catharines, Ont., found the endzone on the last play of the third quarter but it was too little too late for the purple and gold.

The Mustangs would add another trio of majors in the final quarter as they set a Yates Cup record for points scored, breaking the previous record of 65 points set by Windsor in 1975.

“We were optimistic early on,” said head coach Michael Faulds after the game. “We knew there was a good chance going against Western it was going to be a high-scoring game. We got 16 points fairly early and then we just hit a lull in the second quarter. But huge credit to them, they were the better football team. We had some shots, we made it interesting at times but in the end, we lost to the better football team.”

Aside from Joseph’s MVP performance, Western quarterback Chris Merchant of Calgary, completed 13-of-18 passes for 220 yards while also rushing nine times for 66 yards.

McMaster was the Mustangs leading receiving with four catches for 99 yards along with his touchdown.

The game started as a shootout between the top two teams in the OUA. After Western roared out to a 10-0 lead, Laurier responded with some great play on defence and offence. A great defensive stand forced the Mustangs to concede a safety and on the ensuing possession, quarterback Michael Knevel of Brantford, Ont., hit Brentyn Hall of Toronto, in the endzone to cut the Western lead to 10-9.

For the Hawks, Knevel, playing for the first time in a month because of injury, completed 25-of-49 passes for 432 yards and three touchdowns along with an interception.

McCracken and OUA MVP Kurleigh Gittens Jr. of Ottawa, each finished with more than 100 yards in the game with McCracken making six catches for 152 yards while Gittens Jr. had six receptions for 119 yards.

However, on the ensuing kickoff, Western’s Michael Sananses of Montreal, returned the ball 95-yards to the endzone to re-establish an eight-point lead.

Defensively, London native Scott Hutter topped the purple and gold with 10 tackles, a half sack and a forced fumble.

On the very next possession, Knevel threw a dart to Brendan McCracken of Kitchener, Ont., over the middle and he scampered 74 yards for a major, closing the quarter with the Hawks trailing 17-16.

Bayne finished the game with 250 yards passing and was selected MVP. 1972

Alberta 20 Waterloo Lutheran 7

The Cup went West again as Alberta defeated Waterloo Lutheran 20-7. The Golden Bears used three quarterbacks to secure the win with appearances by Gary Weisbrot, Terry Cairnes and Roy Beechey. Waterloo Lutheran’s Gerry Blacker scored a touchdown and rushed for 134 yards in a solid performance as the Golden Hawks suffered their third Vanier Cup loss.

The Hawks won their first Vanier Cup in 1991. They beat Mt. Allison by a score of 25-18 to give them the title of National Champions.

Laurier 25 Mt. Allison 18

The Laurier Golden Hawks took home the Vanier Cup for the first time with a 25-18 victory over the Mount Allison Mounties before more than 30,000 fans at the SkyDome.

Laurier running back Andy Cecchini carried 22 times for 130 yards and tied a Vanier Cup record with three touchdowns.

The Golden Hawks, OUA and Churchill Bowl champions, jumped out to an early 11-0 lead in the first quarter as Cecchini ran one yard for his first touchdown. Laurier took a large lead in the third quarter on a two-yard run by Cecchini and a 19-yard pass from QB Bill Kubas to Cecchini to make the score 24-4. The Mounties, however, staged a spirited comeback as Grant Keaney ran 27 yards for a touchdown and slotback Mark Huys caught a 33-yard touchdown pass from Sean Hickey. The Laurier defense tightened up late in the game and preserved the victory. Cecchini won the Ted Morris Trophy as the game’s outstanding player.

The majority of the raucous crowd clad in Purple and Gold.

Golden Hawks supporters didn’t leave disappointed, as the Hawks became only the 10th team in Canadian University history to finish a season undefeated (12-0). Quarterback Ryan Pyear took home the Ted Morris Trophy as the game’s MVP; finishing 20 for 30 for 254 yards and 3 touchdowns.

WILFRID LAURIER UNIVERSITY

HISTORY OF WILFRID LAURIER UNIVERSITY In 1910 the Canada Synod and Synod of Central Canada of the Lutheran Church entered into an agreement to establish a Lutheran Seminary. Though the location first proposed for the Seminary was Toronto, Waterloo was selected when its citizens offered a tract of land on the boundary of the town. The choice of location was affected, too, by the fact that the majority of Lutherans in Ontario lived in the vicinity of Waterloo and Berlin (Kitchener). In 1911 the Evangelical Lutheran Seminary of Canada opened its doors.

Facilities for pre-theological education were established in 1914 with courses leading to senior matriculation given in Waterloo College School.

In 1924 the Waterloo College of Arts, providing courses in post-secondary education in a four year program, was established. In 1925 the Faculty of Arts, under the name of Waterloo College, affiliated with the University of Western Ontario. Waterloo College soon began to offer Honours degree programs in the arts.

The affiliation with the University of Western Ontario ended in 1960 when the Seminary obtained a revised charter changing the name of the institution to Waterloo Lutheran University.

On November 1, 1973, Waterloo Lutheran University became Wilfrid Laurier University, one of Ontario’s provincially assisted universities after Bill 178 was given Royal Assent by the Lieutenant Governor, former Wilfrid Laurier University Chancellor William Ross Macdonald.
