It came as no surprise on Sunday when the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks women’s soccer team snatched a win against the Waterloo Warriors. About twenty minutes into the second half, Kelsey Abbott was the first to put Laurier on the board after receiving a beautiful cross pass from Nicole Currie. Not long after, Krista Cellucci showed off her skill when […]

Trevor Schein wrapped an ice pack around his knee and soldiered on to the dressing room. And even with the Hawk’s clipped talon, the defender could claim to be in better health than most of his soccer brethren, who barely escaped their tilt with the McMaster Marauders. An amazing accomplishment considering Schein was the unwilling participant in the majority of […]

Securing their first place spot in the OUA (Ontario University Association) West division this weekend, the Wilfrid Laurier women’s soccer team took to the field at home on Sunday and held out for a 3-1 victory over the McMaster Marauders. “I thought offensively we played very well today, we created lots of chances,” said head coach Barry MacLean. “We definitely […]

It’s hard to believe that only one year ago the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s soccer team finished the season second last in the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) west division with only three wins on the year.

A largely unexpected rousing and spirited start to the season by Wilfrid Laurier’s men’s soccer squad makes this cruel twist of fate even harder to stomach. Jarrett Humphreys, the Golden Hawks’ starting netminder was sidelined indefinitely by his third concussion in a year from a game versus the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) Ridgebacks in late September. Playing […]

Hugo Hernandez’s name didn’t show up on the score-sheet in Saturday’s 3-0 Golden Hawk victory versus the Brock Badgers, but without him, the men’s soccer team’s offence would have never been resuscitated after going three games without a goal. On a routine play, with the ball almost leaving the zone in midfield, heading towards the rain-soaked spectators, the third-year pulled […]

The Wilfrid Laurier women’s soccer team had their stamina tested this past weekend with back to back games, kicking off against the Brock Badgers on Saturday and against the York Lions on Sunday. The Golden Hawks proved their strength, coming through the weekend with their undefeated record, now showing 7-0-1, still intact. “York didn’t play yesterday, we played yesterday, so […]

If the Wilfrid Laurier women’s soccer foes weren’t already quivering in their cleats before facing the 5-0 Golden Hawks, this news should send them scampering back home before the coin toss. Women’s national team standout and one of the country’s premier young midfielders Alyssa Lagonia has returned to don the purple and gold one last time. “I’ve decided to do […]

Laurier’s women’s soccer team is off to an incredible start this season, as they have yet to lose a match in five games. One of the main reasons for the team’s remarkable success this season is first-year sniper Amanda Mithrush. But be sure not to call the kinesiology major a phenom. “That is too big a title,” said the humble […]
