The Golden Hawks lost to the Western Mustangs in this weekend’s Homecoming game, falling short with a final score of 29-13.
The Hawks, who haven’t won against the Mustangs in a regular season game since 2006, looked to repeat the results of last year’s Yates Cup matchup, where they were able to hold strong for a 43-40 victory.
Unfortunately, the team wasn’t able to repeat last year’s Yates performance and as a result they began to fall short early in the game. This loss, the first of the regular season for the Golden Hawks, drops their once-perfect record down to 4-1.
“Western is a good football team and I give credit to them because they were the better team today,” head coach, Michael Faulds said.
The Hawks will face up next against the York Lions at York’s Alumni field in Toronto, kicking off Oct. 5 at 7 p.m.
