The recruiting season is into full swing as we look to add some great new Student Athletes to Laurier Football for the 2020 season. This past week was the conclusion to the high school season as it was the OFSAA Bowl games in Hamilton. Over three days we got to see 18 of the provinces best teams play and many university prospects.

The highs and lows of an OUA season were felt within one week! One week we are excited to say that we have won our third straight game in the Battle of Waterloo, which was a 53-50 three overtime thriller and a week later we lose to Carleton 22-10, ending our season at 4-4. Some years 4-4 and even 3-5 will get you into the playoffs, but that is not the case this season. Laurier, Waterloo and Carleton are all 4-4, but based on tiebreaking procedures/rules we are out, while the other two teams live to play at least another week.

Back to back big wins! We went down the 401 to Windsor to play the Lancers this past weekend and came away with a decisive 52-10 victory. This was our most complete game in all three phases.

Saturday evening in front of a large frosh crowd we suffered a tough 38-34 loss to the Toronto Varsity Blues. Full credit to Toronto who played a very good game and once again undisciplined play cost us many opportunities. This is something we are addressing in many ways and we look to have cleaner play this weekend up in Ottawa.

It was not a pretty win on Labour Day Monday, but a win is a win and we defeated the York Lions 18-10. After finding ways to lose close games last year we were proud of the guys finding a way to win ugly.

It was a hard-fought physical home opener vs the Western Mustangs on Sunday. Statistically we were the better team in many areas, but penalties and a few big plays were the difference in a 32-19 loss.
