HEAD COACH AND MANAGER OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONS
MICHAEL FAULDS
MANAGER OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONS, HEAD COACH & QB COACH
@MichaelFaulds The sixth head coach in the 53-year history of Laurier’s football program, Michael Faulds enters his third season as manager of football operations and head coach for the Golden Hawks. After a slow start to his career, Faulds began turning the Golden Hawks around in 2014 as promised. Laurier went 4-1 through their first five games of the season, and could have been 5-0, were it not for a late touchdown conceded against Windsor in Week 2. Highlighted by the nation’s top running back in Dillon Campbell and a poised quarterback in James Fracas, Faulds and his offence scored 211 points in their first five games as they served notice to the league that they were a team on the rise. Over the last three weeks of the season, the Hawks ran into three Top 10 opponents in the nation. After consecutive losses to Western and McMaster, Laurier gave Guelph a run for their money in the season finale but fell just short to finish the year at 4-4. Despite the tough end to the season, Laurier’s four wins were good enough to punch their ticket to the postseason. Facing the third-seeded Mustangs, the Hawks went toe-to-toe with the powerhouse squad as the two teams entered the fourth quarter tied at 10. On their home field, Western would rally to pull off the win, handing Faulds a loss in his postseason debut. 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

HEAD COACH AND MANAGER OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONS
role this past February 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. Faulds, his wife Stacey and their daughter Chloe live in Kitchener.

“Campbell sets rushing record in MFOOT win” “2013 OUA leading rusher sets single-game record with 293 yards in 53-17 win over Toronto” by Jamie Howieson
With Campbell sitting just shy of 200 yards for the game midway through the fourth quarter, the fourth year back entered the record books in grand fashion. He broke through the Toronto defence and pulled away for the score to eclipse the previous record of 263 yards held by Nick Cameron.
TORONTO (September 1, 2014) - Dillon Campbell, last season’s OUA leading rusher, broke a Wilfrid Laurier single-game rushing record by posting 293 yards and two touchdowns in the Golden Hawks 53-17 season-opening win over the Toronto Varsity Blues on Monday night.
Offensively, Laurier put up 567 yards of offence on the Varsity Blues, which was orchestrated by Fracas. The third year pivot finished the night 17 of 24 for 256 yards and three touchdowns to help earn himself and his head coach, Michael Faulds, their second career victories.
Campbell, a Whitby, Ont., native, broke the Laurier record on a 98-yard major midway through the fourth quarter, pulling away from two Blues defenders to enter the record books. Campbell wasn’t the only Hawk to enter the record books at Varsity Stadium as second year defensive lineman Kawku Boateng of Milton, Ont., set a new school mark for sacks in a game. An OUA All-Rookie in 2013, Boateng notched four sacks in just his ninth OUA game to eclipse the hold mark of three shared by four different players, including current teammate Tommy Griffiths of Richmond Hill, Ont.
Defensively, while Boateng was the story, the whole defensive front seven shone for the purple and gold as they held Toronto to just 70 yards rushing. Tanner Philp of Burlington, Ont., and Brandon Calver of London, Ont., led the tackling parade with six each. “This has been building inside since last year,” added Faulds on his team’s overall performance. “Our guys after last season, we had this in mind. It’s been a long road, a long process but as a coaching staff, we’ve kept the energy high through the off-season workouts. We were waiting for this moment, this moment was building for 10.5 months and a lot of built of energy was just exploded in Toronto.”
After posting a 1-7 record in 2013, their worst mark since 2002, the Hawks came out flying to start the game, looking to prove their doubters wrong. Fittingly, it was the Hawks’ defensive effort that got things rolling as Boateng recorded a sack on the second play from scrimmage and held the Blues to a 2-and-out. From there, the offence took over. First, quarterback James Fracas of Waterloo, Ont., connected with a wide-open Marcus Arkarakas of Richmond Hill, Ont., for his first career OUA touchdown, a 46-yard major.
The victory snaps Laurier’s three-game losing streak against the Varsity Blues, a streak which dated back to the 2010 season. It also gives the Hawks a win in their season opener for the first time in three seasons.
Just a minute and a half later, Fracas handed off to Campbell who scampered 74 yards untouched to endzone to build Laurier’s lead to 17-0.
NOTES: Campbell finished the game just 57 yards shy of the alltime OUA record held by York’s Andre Durie…Nyhof eclipsed 100 yards receiving for the second time in his career, finishing with exactly 100 yards…kicker Ronnie Pfeffer of Kitchener, Ont., averaged 46.4 yards per punt in the contest, nearly 10 yards more than his average last season…Laurier posted their highest point total in a game since scoring 69 against Waterloo in 2011… attendance at Varsity Stadium was 4,221
The Hawks offence continued to roll in the second quarter as Fracas connected with Greg Nyhof of Georgetown, Ont., on a sixyard score, building Laurier’s lead to 24-7. Toronto would find the offensive game late in the half, capped off by a touchdown from offensive lineman Danny Sprukulis of Oakville, Ont., to pull the Blues to within 10, 27-17, at the break.

WINDSOR, Ont. (September 6, 2014) – For the third consecutive meeting, the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Windsor Lancers as they fell 39-34 on Saturday afternoon at Alumni Field.
However, Windsor did not back down and on the strength of their fifth year quarterback Kennedy, the Lancers roared back over the remaining 14 minutes. Touchdown runs from Nick Vincent of Tecumseh, Ont., and Kennedy pulled the Lancers to within three. After Campbell fumbled on the Hawks’ next possession, Anthony Malandruccolo of Windsor, Ont., connected on a 43-yard field goal to tie the game.
After taking a 33-16 lead early in the fourth quarter, the Hawks failed to hold off Windsor quarterback Austin Kennedy of Windsor, Ont., and the Lancers for the remainder of the contest. Windsor scored 23 of the last 24 points, including a game-winning 58-yard touchdown with 30 seconds left to earn their third straight win over the Hawks.
Laurier grabbed the lead back with under two minutes to play after a missed Pfeffer field goal resulted in a rouge but Windsor was not finished. On 3rd and 18 and 30 seconds on the clock, Kennedy found Pszczonak behind the Hawks’ coverage and he ran 58-yards untouched for the game-winning score.
“They’re a really good opponent, a playoff-quality team,” said Faulds of the Lancers following the loss. “We said coming into this game they have a fifth year quarterback and you could see it today that there were times it looked like our defence had him bottled up but he popped free and made some good throws.
Despite the loss, a number of Golden Hawks had strong games including Campbell who ran 25 times for 177 yards and a touchdown, pushing his season total to 470. Fracas, playing at the same stadium where his grandfather Gino coached for a number of years, was very efficient, completing 25 of 30 passes for 292 yards and two touchdowns.
“We’ve got to be more consistent on both sides of the ball,” added the Hawks’ head coach. “We can play better football and we’re going to learn from this.” In what was another entertaining affair between two teams who are quickly developing a strong rivalry, Laurier used the momentum earned from their season-opening victory to jump out to a quick lead. A pair of Ronnie Pfeffer (Kitchener, Ont.) field goals were sandwiched around a Dillon Campbell (Whitby, Ont.) touchdown to stake the Hawks to a 13-0 lead.
“It was definitely a very emotional game for me,” said Fracas of playing his first career game in Windsor. “I had a whole bunch of family come out to the game and it kind of pushes you to play even harder. I always want to perform but even more so when I’m playing in front of loved ones.”
Windsor responded late in the second quarter as Beau Lumley of Windsor, Ont., and Evan Pszczonak of Amherstburg, Ont., scored back-to-back touchdowns to give the Lancers a 14-13 lead at the half.
For Windsor, Kennedy and Pszczonak were the big playmakers. Kennedy finished the game 22-of-38 for 326 yards and hit Pszczonak for two touchdowns. The Lancers fifth year receiver had a total of 144 yards receiving on the game.
The third quarter was a quiet one offensively for both teams but Laurier managed to grab the lead thanks to Pfeffer. The fourth year kicker connected on two more field goals in the quarter to offset a Windsor safety, giving Laurier a 19-16 edge. In what was a wild fourth quarter, the Hawks extended their lead just 11 seconds in as quarterback James Fracas of Waterloo, Ont.,

Campbell then took over the game in the second thanks to his outstanding running ability. On his first touchdown run of the day, he capped a drive which saw him accumulate 48 of Laurier’s 50 yards by plunging into the endzone from one-yard out to give Laurier a 21-0 advantage.
“MFOOT defeats Warriors in Battle of Waterloo” “D. Campbell shines again for Golden Hawks as they shut out Waterloo 44-0” by Jamie Howieson
On the Hawks’ next possession, Campbell shook off a number of Warrior defenders before scampering 36 yards to cap off Laurier’s scoring in the half, giving them a 28-0 lead through two quarters.
WATERLOO, Ont. (September 13, 2014) – Led by a nearly unstoppable rushing attack, the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team shutout the Waterloo Warriors in their home opener on Saturday afternoon as they posted a 44-0 victory.
While the second half was relatively quite for Laurier as the team rested a majority of their starters, including quarterback James Fracas of Waterloo, Ont., some new faces for the purple and gold got a chance to shine. Among them was running back Chucks Okafor of Calgary, who ran 10 times for 62 yards and capped off the scoring with his first career touchdown late in the contest.
“It’s good to go in to a bye week having won a game because then you would have two straight weeks of practice if we had lost,” said head coach Michael Faulds following his first win at University Stadium. “We played well, kudos to our defence getting the shutout. Offensively, we were a little inconsistent but our run game was phenomenal.”
The Hawks strong showing on offence was complimented by a bounce-back effort from the defensive unit. A week after allowing 39 points against the Windsor Lancers, Coach Ron VanMoerkerke and his group limited the Warriors to just 227 total yards, including a stingy 37 rushing yards on 19 attempts. Two sacks, two interceptions, seven pass breakups and a blocked field goal were key aspects of Laurier’s well-rounded play on defence.
Leading the way on the ground for the Golden Hawks once again was Dillon Campbell of Whitby, Ont. The fourth year back, and leading rusher in the CIS, recorded his second 200+ yard rushing game of the season as he piled up 204 of Laurier’s 385 yards on the ground. He also finished the two touchdowns, brining his season total to five.
NOTES: Pfeffer also climbed his way up Laurier’s all-time scoring list as his 20-point effort gives him 212 for his career, fourth best in school history…Fracas, who played less than three quarters for the Hawks, finished the game 10-for-18 for 99 yards and a touchdown…his replacement, Eric Morelli of Burlington, Ont., was 2-for-6 for 16 yards and also rushed twice for 54 yards…defensive back Austin Reusch of Burlington, Ont., led the Hawks defensive effort with 6.5 tackls and two pass breakups…attendance on Saturday was 1,528
“Definitely credit to the O-Line,” said Campbell following another big day for the draft-eligible player. “After we figured out what they were doing, their weird little stance up front, we started to run and move the ball.” Also starring for the puple and gold on the day was kicker Ronnie Pfeffer of Kitchener, Ont. The graduate of Cameron Heights CI was good on five of his six field goal attempts, tying the school record for most field goals in a game. He also broke his own school record, which was shared by former Laurier kicker John Wintermeyer, when he connected on a career-long 50-yard attempt in the third quarter. “Ronnie has been absolutely phenomenal, he’s kicking the ball like you wouldn’t believe,” said head coach Michael Faulds of his record-setting kicker. “He’s worked really hard this last year so it’s good to see it paying off.” In a game that was controlled by the Hawks from start to finish, Laurier built up a 10-0 lead in the opening quarter of play thanks to a Pfeffer field goal and Ethan Loft’s (London, Ont.) first career touchdown.

light, so now we really buckled down, stayed focus and did what we needed to do today.” Featured in the OUA’s Marquee Matchup for the second time this season, the Hawks came flying out of the gate, albeit with a little luck on their side. After their opening drive was stalled on Carleton’s 34-yard line, a botched snap on the field goal attempt ended up in the hands of Ronnie Pfeffer of Kitchener, Ont. The fourth year kicker scrambled 32 yards for the first down, setting up a 2-yard touchdown run from Campbell to stake Laurier to a 7-0 lead.
“MFOOT dominates Carleton on Homecoming” “Golden Hawks rack up 521 yards of offence in 53-3 victory over Ravens” by Jamie Howieson WATERLOO, Ont. (September 27, 2014) – In a showdown between a pair of 2-1 football teams, the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks made a statement in their annual Homecoming game as they defeated the Carleton Ravens 53-3 on Saturday at University Stadium.
After a Pfeffer field goal gave the Hawks a 10-0 lead through the opening quarter, Laurier’s offence exploded in the second quarter. Campbell opened the frame with his second touchdown run of the game, followed by an 8-yard touchdown from Pizzuti on the purple and gold’s next possession.
Meeting for the first time since Laurier Homecoming in 1970, a game that was also won by the Hawks, the purple and gold put on a show for their fans as they racked up 521 yards of offence to move to 3-1 on the season.
Before the quarter was out, Pizzuti had his second touchdown of the day, this time a 5-yard catch and Pfeffer added his second field goal of the afternoon to stake the Hawks to a 34-0 halftime advantage.
“You’re never quite sure coming off a bye week [how your team will react],” commented head coach Michael Faulds after the victory. “We tried to keep our schedule as close to normal as we could and our guys came out and played. Offence, defence, special teams all played really well.”
The third quarter was more of the same from the offence as Marcus Arkarakas of Richmond Hill, Ont., and Campbell each added a major, extending the lead to 48-0.
Leading the way once again for the Hawks was running back Dillon Campbell of Whitby, Ont. The leading rusher in the CIS added another 176 yards and three touchdowns to his season totals, brining him 850 yards and eight touchdowns through four games in 2014.
From there, Faulds removed his starters from the game and Laurier cruised to their fifth all-time victory over Carleton. “It felt amazing,” said Pizzuti on the win in front of the Homecoming crowd. “We had thousands of fans coming out and it felt good to make a stance, really, for the OUA and for our fans. It’s not just for us, we love them coming out and supporting us.”
Quarterback James Fracas of Waterloo, Ont., had another efficient day as he completed 14-of-19 passes for 196 yards and three touchdowns, two of which were to receiver Anthony Pizzuti of Hamilton. Pizzuti finished the afternoon with 51 yards on four catches.
The lone bright spot on the day for the Ravens was the play of linebacker Leon Cerenini of La Salle, Man., who had 12.5 tackles to lead all players.
“We’re a really balanced offence,” added Faulds. “Everyone knows our headliner is Dillon Campbell, but Fracas is doing such a great job, he still hasn’t thrown an interception on the year, [and] he’s spreading the ball around. You saw Marcus [Arkarakas] had some catches, Pizutti had some catches, he’s doing a really good job being the facilitator. “
The victory moved Laurier into a tie with the Guelph Gryphons for fourth place in the OUA. As for the Ravens, they fall to 2-2 on the year, seventh in the conference. NOTES: Pfeffer’s 15-point effort on the afternoon moved him into third place on Laurier’s all-time scoring list with 227 career points…Campbell’s 850 yards rushing so far in 2014 is just 17 yards behind his total of 867 from 2013 when he led the conference…Fracas continued his incredible season that sees him leading the OUA in completion percentage at 72.5 while throwing nine touchdowns and zero interceptions, the best ratio in the conference…the Hawks are now 5-2-1 against the Ravens, with the seven previous meetings coming between 1963 and 1970… attendance at the game was 7,370
For the second straight game, Laurier’s defence also shone as they held the Ravens to just three points on the afternoon. Defensive back Chris Ackie of Cambridge, Ont., anchored the strong defensive effort by recording 5.5 tackles. “We’re just more focused,” said Ackie on how the Hawks have now allowed just three points in the last two games. “We had a big win Week 1 against U of T, against Windsor we came in too

The third quarter was not much better for Laurier. With the Lions doing a good job of maintaining possession against the wind, quarterback James Fracas of Waterloo, Ont., and the Hawks’ offence were only able to manage a 34-yard field goal from Pfeffer in the quarter. However, the continued strong play of the Hawks’ defence kept them in front 13-7 heading to the fourth.
“Campbell eclipses 1000 yards in MFOOT victory” “Golden Hawks use big fourth quarter to edge Lions 27-10” by Jamie Howieson WATERLOO, Ont. (October 4, 2014) – Dillon Campbell of Whitby, Ont., rushed for 171 yards and two touchdowns to eclipse 1,000 yards on the season as the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team defeated the York Lions 27-10 on Saturday afternoon at University Stadium.
Early in the final quarter, quarterback Jahmari Bennett of Mississauga, Ont., connected on an 81-yard pass to Mahlique Marks of North York, Ont., to put the Lions deep into Laurier territory. Another good defensive stand kept York out of the endzone but Naylor connected on his third field goal of the afternoon to pull his team to within three points.
Campbell, a fourth year running back out of St. Mary CSS, became the fifth player is school history to rush for 1,000 yards in a single season. Through five games this year, he has amassed 1,021 yards, an average of 204.2 yards per game.
With a possible upset looming over their heads, the Hawks responded in a big way. D. Campbell featured heavily in an 11-play, 75-yard drive that was capped off by his second touchdown of the day, a 17-yard score, to give the Hawks some breathing room. The touchdown run also pushed D. Campbell over the 1,000 yard mark and gave him 10 touchdowns on the season, matching the second-most in school history.
“It’s unbelievable when you think it’s only been five games,” said head coach Michael Faulds of his running back’s success. “What he’s doing – and I know he’s going to give all of the credit to the o-line – but I’ll stand here and give him credit. He’s an unbelievable running back and he works extremely hard. He’s a good leader for us, and he gained a lot of tough yards today. He popped through on two runs, but most of the runs were really tough runs.”
Laurier put the game out of reach on their next possession when Fracas faked the handoff to D. Campbell and instead gave it to S. Campbell who broke his way through the Lions’ defence for his second career touchdown.
“Honestly, I’m just thinking forward to Western,” commented the ever-humble Campbell. “It’s great to get over 1,000 but to get this win, it’s a tough win and we faced adversity, but we overcame it to take over the Lions.”
Despite the loss, Bennett had a breakout game for York and helped keep his team in the game all afternoon. He finished the game throwing for 255 yards and rushing for a team-high 62 yards.
Receiver Scott Campbell of Cambridge, Ont., also had a big afternoon for the purple and gold as he had 132 all-purpose yards, highlighted by a 71-yard rushing touchdown that put the game out of reach for Laurier in the fourth quarter.
Despite the strong afternoon from the Lions’ pivot, Laurier’s defence contained him when needed, led by a strong effort from Ese Mrabure-Ajufo of Mississauga, Ont., and the Hawks’ defensive line. Mrabure-Ajufo recorded a season-best 5.5 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, while fellow defensive end Kwaku Boateng of Milton, Ont., had a team-high 6.5 tackles and a sack. In total, Laurier’s defence registered six sacks and are now second in the OUA in total sacks with 17.
In what was a much closer game than many expected, the Hawks had the wind in the first quarter and took advantage of it. After kicker Ronnie Pfeffer of Kitchener, Ont., recorded a rouge on a 65-yard punt, D. Campbell scored his first touchdown of the afternoon on Laurier’s next possession. From his own 50-yard line, he broke outside and ran away from the York defenders for a 60-yard major, giving Laurier an 8-0 lead. Leading 10-0 heading to the second quarter, the Hawks’ offence stalled as they only picked up four first downs against the wind, allowing York to climb back into the game. A pair of field goals and a rouge from kicker Nick Naylor of Abbotsford, B.C., pulled the Lions to within three points at halftime.

help the Mustangs build an insurmountable lead. He finished the day 19-for-25 for 285 yards and three touchdowns while running for 86 yards and a score of his own. Garret Sanvido of Vancouver, B.C., led the Mustang attack out of the backfield with 165 yards on 17 carries while Brian Marshall of London, Ont., was the top receiver for Western with eight catches for 157 yards and a touchdown.
LONDON, Ont. (October 9, 2014) – The No. 10 Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team were handed a 61-20 loss by the No. 4 Western Mustangs on Thursday night at TD Stadium. The Mustangs, who started backup quarterback Stevenson Bone of Darien, CT in the place of injured starter Will Finch of Burlington, Ont., used a deadly combination of accurate passing and strong running to improve to 5-1 on the season.
In total, six different players recorded majors for the Mustangs on the day. Outside of Campbell, quarterback James Fracas of Waterloo, Ont., threw for 285 yards and a touchdown but was intercepted on two occasions. Receiver Greg Nyhof of Georgetown, Ont., also made his return to the lineup and made four catches for 80 yards and a touchdown.
The loss drops the Hawks to 4-2 and represents the ninth straight defeat Laurier has suffered at the hands of the Mustangs. “They were definitely motivated,” commented head coach Michael Faulds on a Western team coming off their first loss of the year. “It’s not like we weren’t motivated but they’re a powerful team. You can see why they’re in the elite class in the OUA and this was a big challenge for us.”
NOTES: The game was the first as a visiting head coach for Faulds at the school in which he set the CIS career passing record…Chris Ackie of Cambridge, Ont., and Brandon Calver of London, Ont., led the defensive effort with eight tackles each…the 61 points allowed by the Hawks were the most in school history…attendance at the game was 3,862 was his favourite receiver making seven catches for 112 yards.finished the game as Laurier’s leading tackler with 6.5 tackles in the contest
It was not all bad news on the day for Laurier as running back Dillon Campbell of Whitby, Ont., became the Hawks all-time single season rushing leader. In the purple and gold’s sixth game of the season, Campbell rushed for 111 yards on 18 carries to surpass Jim Reid’s record of 1,078 yards. The fourth year back now has 1,132 on the year, breaking Reid’s mark established back in 1977. He also added his eleventh touchdown of the year, as he continues to lead the nation in both rushing yards and touchdowns, while making five catches for 87 yards to finish as Laurier’s leading receiver. “Early on they were really focusing in on Dillon, like we expected,” said Faulds of his feature back. “Early couple of drives they did shut him down and then we kind of popped a couple weak there and got him in space. We knew that we got to find ways to get him the ball because even if they’re going to shut down the run, Dillon is a great receiver. We used him out of the backfield pretty well.” Bone was the story of the game for Western as the third year pivot, making his first career start, used his arm and his legs to

“We started off really well. The first couple touches he [James] makes a great pass to Greg Nyhof, and then we have the one mistake throwing the interception in the second quarter,” said Faulds of his offence. “The one thing as a quartrback is that you have to have a really short memory. You throw a touchdown pass or an interception; you have to move on to the next play. And James didn’t do a great job bouncing back from that interception and it escalated.”
“MFOOT drops second straight game to McMaster” “Golden Hawks start strong against No. 3 Marauders but can’t keep pace in 27-10 loss” by Jamie Howieson HAMILTON (October 18, 2014) – The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team were handed their second straight loss of the season by the McMaster Marauders as they fell 27-10 at Ron Joyce Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
However, the defence stepped up and limited McMaster to just one score in the third, keeping the Hawks within three scores as they trailed 24-7 after three.
After the Hawks (4-3) jumped out to an early 7-0 lead in the first quarter, the Marauders (7-0) scored 24 straight points on the strength of quarterback Marshall Ferguson of Kingston, Ont., and running back Chris Pezzetta of Burlington, Ont., to build a lead that would prove to be insurmountable for the purple and gold.
The Hawks struggles on offence proved to be too much on the day though as Laurier managed just three points in the fourth, off a conceded safety and a missed field goal. Crapigna put the game away for McMaster midway through the final quarter with a 41-yard field goal, his 83rd as a Marauder that set a new CIS record for field goals made in a career.
Ferguson finished the day 23-for-33 for 264 yards and two touchdowns while Pezzetta rushed for 116 yards. “A better effort definitely on defence, but offensively obviously you could see that was the thing really slowing us down,” commented head coach Michael Faulds on his team’s play. “Hats off to our defence, because I don’t know how many minutes they were on the field, but it was a significant amount because of how many 2-and-outs and short drives we had offensively.”
Defensively, Laurier got a big effort from second year linebacker Nakas Onyeka of Brampton, Ont. Making his first career start, Onyeka had a career-high 11 tackles, including nine solo, two of which were tackles for losses. Teammate Chris Ackie of Cambridge, Ont., matched Onyeka with 11 tackles, all solo, which was also a single game career-high for the CFL draft prospect.
In what was a very positive start for Laurier after a tough loss to No. 4 Western a week ago, the Hawks drove the field against the defence of the No. 3 Marauders to open the game. Quarterback James Fracas of Waterloo, Ont., capped the drive with a 12-yard pass to Greg Nyhof of Georgetown, Ont., to give Laurier a 7-0 advantage.
“I thought we had a really good week of practice, and Wednesday we probably had our best practice this year, and I think it starts and ends with that,” stated Onyeka on the play of himself and his teammates on defence. “We made a few errors on both sides of the ball, including [special teams], but all of that will be improved for Guelph.”
However, from that point forward, the Hawks did very little to generate offence and the Marauders began to take over the game.
Running back Dillon Campbell of Whitby, Ont., was the lone bright spot on offence for the Hawks as he rushed for 123 yards on 22 carries, the seventh time this year that he’s eclipsed the 100yard mark. He now has 1,255 yards on the season, which is the 16th most rushing yards in one season in CIS history.
Trailing 7-3 heading into the second quarter, McMaster got the wind at their back and took advantage. A Danny Vandervoort (Barrie, Ont.) 48-yard touchdown was sandwiched between two Tyler Crapigna (Nepean, Ont.) field goals to push the Marauders in front 16-7 at the half. The second half was not much better for the purple and gold on offence. Laurier crossed midfield just once in the quarter and struggled to put consistent drives together.

First, Campbell busted outside for a 17-yard touchdown followed by another 17-yard touchdown, this one from Pizzuti.
WATERLOO, Ont. (October 25, 2014) - The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team scored 32 second half points but it wasn’t enough to overcome the No. 4 Guelph Gryphons as they fell 41-36 at University Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
However, the Hawks could not put together a drive late to win the game as they fell just short of pulling off the upset victory. “It just shows that we can play the way we can play,” said Campbell of his team’s second half performance. “The last few weeks we haven’t been really giving it our all, but the second half was great job on our part - offence, defence and special teams.”
Despite the loss, the Golden Hawks (4-4) qualified for the OUA playoffs thanks to the Queen’s Gaels 37-15 win over the Carleton Ravens (4-4). Both Carleton and Laurier tied for the sixth and final playoff spot but the Hawks reached the postseason with a 53-3 win on Homecoming over the Ravens.
Campbell was the story of the game for the purple and gold as the fourth year running back recorded his third 200-plus yard rushing game of the season, racking up 203 yards and two touchdowns. Those numbers were good enough to push him into sixth alltime in the CIS for single season rushing yards with 1,458. His 13 touchdowns are also the third most in school history behind only Jim Reid (16) and Stefan Ptaszek (14).
“It really was a tale of two halves,” said head coach Michael Faulds after the game. “Offence, defensively and special teams we got out played severely in the first half, but I’m proud of how our guys rallied. We only went into the locker room at half for about three minutes and I told them we have to get out there be ready to play in the second half.”
Pizzuti also enjoyed another solid game for the purple and gold, finishing with eight catches for 96 yards and two touchdowns. His eight catches give him 40 on the season which ties him with Dillon Heap for sixth most in a single season in school history.
The first half of the game belonged to the Gryphons (7-1) as they came storming out of the gate. In the opening quarter, with a stiff breeze at their back, Guelph put 19 points up on the board, highlighted by a 50-yard touchdown by James Ingram of Guelph, Ont., on a pass from James Roberts of Burlington, Ont., and an 81-yard punt return for a touchdown by Ryan Nieuwesteeg of Niagara Falls, Ont.
As for the Gryphons, Farquharson was a difference maker on the day, rushing for 158 yards and a touchdown while Ingram made four catches for 103 yards and a major.
Guelph continued their offensive dominance in the second quarter as Jacob Scarfone of London, Ont., and Rob Farquharson of Niagara Falls, Ont., both added touchdowns to push the Guelph lead to 36-4.
NOTES: Ferraro’s 42-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter set the new CIS single season record with 26…Laurier kicker Ronnie Pfeffer of Kitchener, Ont., also stands alone as Laurier’s single season field goal record holder as he connected on his 18th in the second quarter…defensive back Chris Ackie of Cambridge, Ont., also broke into the Hawks record books with a seven tackle performance, giving him 48.5 on the year, seventh most in school history…three of the last four games between the Hawks and Gryphons have been decided by five points or less…Faulds, the youngest head coach in the CIS, qualified for the playoffs in just his second year as Laurier’s bench boss…attendance at Saturday’s game was 2,045
After an inspired halftime speech from head coach Michael Faulds, the Hawks returned to the field a different team for the second half. Taking the wind to start the third, Laurier proceeded to post 22 points in the quarter, including touchdowns from Anthony Pizzuti of Hamilton, and Dillon Campbell of Whitby, Ont. The Gryphons put an end to Laurier’s unanswered scoring run with a 42-yard field goal from Daniel Ferraro of Mississauga, Ont., early in the fourth quarter but the Hawks kept coming.

to show that our defence can be one of the best in the country.” However, the Hawks could not keep the Mustangs down for the entire contest. Western kicker Zack Medeiros of St. Thomas, Ont., was a difference maker in the game for the Mustangs as he was successful on four of five field goal attempts. Western’s other 13 points came off of three conceded safeties and a touchdown from Yannick Harou of Gatineau, Que., with 2:03 left in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach.
“MFOOT season ends at hands of No. 7 Western” “Defence shines for Laurier but upset bid falls short in 25-10 defeat” by Jamie Howieson LONDON, Ont. (November 1, 2014) - The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team had their season come to an end on Saturday as they lost 25-10 to the No. 7 Western Mustangs in the OUA Quarter-finals at TD Stadium.
With Western needing someone to step up in the absence of starting quarterback Will Finch of Burlington, Ont., it was Harou who took his team on his back, racking up 162 yards on 22 carries.
For three quarters, the purple and gold went toe-to-toe with the third-seeded Mustangs. However, a 15-point fourth quarter outburst from Western, which included their lone touchdown of the game late in the contest, helped the hometown team avoid the upset and eliminated Laurier.
Finch’s replacement, Stevenson Bone of Damien, CT, finished the game 9-for-22 for 142 yards but was sacked five times and intercepted twice. One of those interceptions set up Laurier’s opening score of the game when Ben Millar of Campbellville, Ont., picked Bone off on his first pass attempt of the game. The excellent field position led to a seven-yard touchdown run by Dillon Campbell of Whitby, Ont.
“Obviously I’m upset that we lost but I couldn’t be more proud of the effort we had,” said head coach Michael Faulds following his first playoff game as a head coach. “Defensively, it was an unbelievable effort. Holding Western’s offence to just one touchdown was phenomenal. Our guys battled all day. You could see it right until the fourth, they kept coming right at Western and I’m pleased with our effort.”
Campbell, the leading rusher in the CIS, was once again Laurier’s offensive catalyst in the game as he had 134 yards on 25 carries, the eighth time this season he’s rushed for more than 100 yards.
After allowing 61 points, the most in school history, against the Mustangs back in Week 7, it was a very different Laurier team that hit the field on Saturday. The Hawks jumped out to an early 10-0 lead and on the strength of their defence, held on to that margin until the fourth quarter when the Mustangs finally pulled away.
The downside for the Hawks was Campbell was the only player who was able to get anything going on offence. Quarterback James Fracas of Waterloo, Ont., struggled on the day, completing just 7-of-20 passes for 36 yards while being intercepted twice. Kicker Ronnie Pfeffer of Kitchener, Ont., accounted for Laurier’s only other points on the day, connecting on a 35-yard field goal in the opening quarter.
Defensive lineman Kwaku Boateng of Mississauga, Ont., was one of the key players for Laurier on the defensive side in the ball in helping to hold Western to 25 points, nearly 27 points below their season average. The second year defensive end recorded three sacks and 7.5 tackles. The three sacks equaled Laurier’s single game playoff record, set by Steve Cormack back in the 2008 playoffs, also against the Mustangs.
Despite the loss, it’s been a remarkable turnaround for the purple and gold, one year removed from a 1-7 season a year ago. However, Faulds believes this is only the start for a team he views as being on the up swing in the OUA. “Obviously finishing last year 1-7 and this year making our way into the playoffs, you can see the progression and the steps that we’ve taken,” stated the Hawks bench boss. “Obviously you’re never satisfied unless you’re the team holding up that Vanier Cup at the end. I’m proud of how our guys have battled and gone from the bottom of the pack to more of the middle of the pack. But we need a huge step up to become an elite team in this conference and we know we have to do that next year.”
Linebacker Nakas Onyeka of Brampton, Ont., also continued his 2014 coming-out party with a game-high 9.5 tackles, a forced fumble and a pass breakup. “We came out swinging first,” said Boateng of the Hawks’ defensive effort. “Three weeks ago we were very conservative and this time we just came out swinging. We knew it was going to go 12 rounds and I believe our defence played well. It just goes

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.
