MICHAEL FAULDS
MANAGER OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONS, HEAD COACH & QB COACH
@MichaelFaulds The sixth head coach in the 55-year history of Laurier’s football program, Michael Faulds enters his fourth season as manager of football operations and head coach for the Golden Hawks. Since posting a 1-7 record in his first year on the sidelines, Faulds has posted a 15-9 record (0.625 win percentage) during the regular season over the past three years. In each of those seasons, the Hawks have reached the playoffs, including last year when Faulds guided Laurier to their first playoff victory since 2010 with a 29-15 upset victory over the 2014 Yates Cup Champions, the McMaster Marauders, on the road. One of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game at the U Sports level during his time with the Western Mustangs, Faulds has turned around an offence that scored just 109 points in the year prior to him being named head coach to a group that has averaged over 33 points per game the last two years. Since taking over as head coach of the purple and gold, Faulds has overseen 13 athletes who have been named CIS Academic All-Canadians, two OUA major award winners, 17 OUA All-Stars, six CIS All-Canadians and three CFL Draft picks. 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 this past February when he coached Team World at the International Bowl in Austin, Texas.

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.

“MFOOT drops 37-33 contest to Carabins” “Golden Hawks give 2015 Vanier Cup finalists all they can handle in non-conference play” by Jamie Howieson
Defensively, second year defensive back Scott Hutter of London, Ont., led the way for Laurier as he had 8.5 total tackles along with an interception. Fourth year linebacker Brandon Calver of London, Ont., also had an interception while defensive linemen Jalen Price of Hamilton, and Kwaku Boateng of Milton, Ont., recorded a sack each.
MONTREAL (August 21, 2016) – The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team opened up their 2016 season with a 37-33 loss to the Montreal Carabins in non-conference play on Saturday afternoon at CEPSUM Stadium. Matching up against the 2015 Vanier Cup finalists, the Golden Hawks put in a strong showing over the opening three quarters of the contest as they held a 27-19 lead over the Carabins heading into the fourth quarter. However, in the final frame, the host team outscored the visitors 18-6 to come away with the narrow victory.
The game was an opportunity for head coach Michael Faulds to audition players at two key positions that were left vacant at the end of 2015 due to graduation. Under centre, quarterbacks Julien John of Oakville, Ont., and Michael Knevel of Brantford, Ont., performed extremely well. John completed seven of nine passes for 140 yards and a touchdown while Knevel was 9-for-13 for 108 yards and a touchdown. Neither player threw an interception in the contest.
First year receiver Brentyn Hall of Toronto, was the star of the afternoon for the purple and gold as he caught four passes for 124 yards and two touchdowns. Laurier also received touchdowns from fifth year running back Eric Guiltinan of London, Ont., and defensive back Malcolm Thompson of Windsor, Ont., who returned a fumble 50-yards for the major.
In the running game, it was a committee of individuals who picked up the slack left by Dillon Campbell. Guiltinan got the majority of the carries as he had nine for 23 yards along with his touchdown. Second year back Levondre Gordon of Mississauga, Ont., also had five carries for 19 yards. In total, 10 players ran 27 times for 109 yards.
Three different players had touchdowns on the day for Montreal including receiver Louis-Mathieu Normandin of Montreal, who finished with four catches for 128 yards. Samuel Caron of Quebec

Early in the third quarter, Queen’s would grab their first lead of the day as Matteo Del Brocco of Kingsville, Ont., scored on a 10-yard pass from Hobbs to stake the Gaels to a 15-9 lead. Laurier responded with their first major of the season on a shovel pass from starting quarterback Julien John of Oakville, Ont., to Kurleigh Gittens Jr. of Ottawa. Gittens Jr. then showed off his speed scampering 31 yards for the touchdown to restore Laurier’s advantage.
The offensive outburst was highlighted by a 43-yard interception return for a touchdown from third year AllCanadian defensive back Godfrey Onyeka of Brampton, Ont., that gave the Hawks a 23-18 lead with 5:43 to play in the fourth. Laurier would find the endzone twice more following Onyeka’s major to pick up a win in their season opener for the third consecutive season.
After Queen’s retook the lead on the 31-yard field goal from Nick Liberatore (Dartmouth, N.S.) early in the fourth quarter, Godfrey Onyeka made his first big play of the season, recording Laurier’s second interception of the contest and finding the endzone for the major.
“It wasn’t our prettiest win but it felt good to get the “W” out their today,” said head coach Michael Faulds after the contest. “We created turnovers, got sacks, Nathan Mesher hit a couple of big field goals, and then finally in the fourth quarter we made some plays on offence. We have a lot of work to do in key areas but we’ll get it sorted out and be better next week.”
Godfrey Onyeka made his second big contribution of the game on the next play, forcing and recovering a fumble on the ensuing kickoff, setting Laurier up on the Gaels 26-yard line. Two plays later, John found Mario Villamizar of Niagara Falls, Ont., for a 27-yard touchdown, the first of Villamizar’s career, giving the Hawks a 30-16 lead.
Onyeka’s touchdown was fitting on an afternoon where the Golden Hawks defence was as dominant as advertised coming into the year. Laurier forced five turnovers by the Gaels, including two interceptions and three fumbles recovered, and recorded nine quarterback sacks, seven coming on Queen’s starter Nate Hobbs of Mississauga, Ont.
Two possessions later, following another fumble recovering by the purple and gold, starting running back Eric Guiltinan of London, Ont., put the game out of reach with a seven-yard touchdown run to cap off the scoring.
Leading the defensive charge was Onyeka’s cousin Nakas Onyeka of Brampton, Ont., who had nine total tackles, two sacks and three tackles for a loss. All-Canadian defensive end Kwaku Boateng of Milton, Ont., was dominant in the first game of his draft year as he had four total tackles, two sacks, three tackles for a loss, one forced fumble and one pass breakup.
Guiltinan, making his first career start in his final year of eligibility, had an impressive debut for Laurier as he ran the ball 21 times for 85 yards and a touchdown. John, in his first start at quarterback since 2013, struggled throwing four interceptions but finished strong as he had two touchdowns and 158 yards passing, completing 10-of-24 passing attempts.
Also recording sacks on the day were Robbie Smith of Brampton, Ont., who had two, along with singles by Jalen Price of Hamilton, Brandon Calver of London, Ont., and Yalkum Sakir of Kitchener, Ont.
For the Gaels, Hobbs completed 20-of-35 pass attempts for 187 yards and a touchdown but threw two interceptions. Receiver Chris Osei-Kusi of Brampton, Ont., was his favourite target as he had eight catches for 74 yards.
“Our offence has to face them [our defence] every day, so we know exactly how good they are and it was great to see them play that well,” said Faulds praising the effort of his defence. “It starts up front with our defensive line. They’re able to get up on their quarterback and it makes it really tough on them. And then our secondary is really good too as you saw on that interception by Godfrey.” For much of Sunday’s season opening contest, it was a defensive struggle as the teams went into halftime at a 9-8

15 minutes. Laurier held a narrow 4-3 lead after one quarter as both teams struggled to generate much offence.
“MFOOT runs wild over York to move to 2-0” “Hawks post second-most rushing yards in a single game en route to best start since 2007” by Jamie Howieson
However, the second quarter was a completely different story as the Hawks exploded for 31 points, highlighted by long touchdown runs from both Guiltinan (46 yards) and Gordon (57 yards) as well as a 70-yard interception return for a touchdown by defensive back Malcolm Thompson of Windsor, Ont.
WATERLOO, Ont. (September 5, 2016) – The No. 10 Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team wracked up 575 rushing yards, the second most in school history, as they cruised to a 74-3 victory over the York Lions on Monday night at University Stadium.
For Thompson, who was playing his 13th career game at Laurier, including preseason, regular season and playoffs, it marks the fourth time he’s found the endzone. It was also the second consecutive year that he has registered a pick six against the Lions.
Armed with a stable of seven running backs, three of whom registered over 100 yards in the contest, the Hawks (2-0) ran wild over the Lions (1-1), recording their best rushing performance since 1974 to post their best start to a season since 2007.
The second half was much like the second quarter for Laurier as they would go on to find the endzone six more times. Four touchdowns came on the ground, one was through the air, courtesy of Daniel Bennett of Scarborough, Ont., which marked the first career passing touchdown for Michael Knevel of Brantford, Ont., and one was scored on a 65-yard punt return touchdown from Carson Ouellette of Windsor, Ont.
“It felt really good to finally play all three phases that well,” said head coach Michael Faulds after the game. “I mean, look how many rushers and running backs got touches and touchdowns, look at our defense with another defensive touchdown from Malcolm Thompson, and then on Special Teams, getting that Carson Ouellette touchdown, so when all three phases are rolling like that, that’s a complete team.”
Quarterback Julien John of Oakville, Ont., who struggled in Week 1, was solid for Laurier in the contest as he completed 8-of-16 passes for 137 yards and a touchdown while throwing one interception. Knevel, who was seeing his first game action of his OUA career in his fourth year with the team, was impressive as he completed 5-of-6 pass attempts for 110 yards and a touchdown.
Leading the way on the ground for the purple and gold was fifth year running back Eric Guiltinan of London, Ont. In just his second career start, Guiltinan posted the best game of his career, recording 180 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. It marked the second time the product of A.B. Lucas SS has run for 100 yards in his career.
When all was said and done, the Hawks wound up posting 814 total yards of offence while limited the Lions to just 238. Laurier’s defensive effort, which duplicated their performance in Week 1 against Queen’s, saw the purple and gold record six sacks in the game while picking up three turnovers.
Joining Guiltinan in eclipsing the 100-yard rushing mark were second year backs Levondre Gordon of Mississauga, Ont., and Osayi Iginuan of Hamilton. Both players ran over the century mark for the first time in their careers while also recording the first touchdowns of their careers. Gordon finished the game with 115 yards and two touchdowns on eight carries while Iginuan had 110 yards and a touchdown on nine carries.
The victory keeps Laurier in a tie for first place in the conference as they remain deadlocked with the McMaster Marauders as the only teams with two wins in the league.
The Hawks, who had six rushing touchdowns in the contest, also got a major from Elijah Fera of Windsor, Ont., who scored his first career touchdown while posting 69 yards on 10 attempts.
NOTES: The 74 points is the most Laurier has scored under head coach Michael Faulds and the most the team has recorded since scoring 80 against McMaster in 1992…the most rushing yards Laurier has recorded in a game as a team is 637 against the same York Lions back in 1974, a mark that is an OUA record…defensive lineman Kwaku Boateng of Milton, Ont., recorded his 17th career sack to surpass Giancarlo Rapanaro for second most in school history…he currently sits half a sack behind the all-time leader Eric Schwab…Joshua Perez of Mississauga, Ont., also scored his first career touchdown on a 24-yard pass from John in the second quarter, giving Laurier four players who found the endzone for the first time in their
“All our running backs played really great obviously,” said Guiltinan of the group’s performance. “[The offensive line] really opened up some good holes so it was nice that all the other guys got to contribute too.” While the scoreline ended up as one of the most lopsided in team history, with Laurier scoring their fourth-most points in a game, the contest was very much in doubt through the first

1st 2nd 3rd 4th Final 2 5 9 0 16 0 7 7 3 17 In the fourth quarter, Laurier’s defence once again made an impact in the contest. Defensive lineman Kwaku Boateng of Milton, Ont., forced a fumble deep in Ravens territory that was recovered by Hutter on the Carleton 10-yard line. While the Hawks weren’t able to punch it into the endzone, kicker Nathan Mesher of Waterloo, Ont., was successful in hitting the tough eight-yard chip shot to give his team a 17-16 lead.
“Guiltinan powers MFOOT to victory over Ravens” “No. 7 Golden Hawks 3-0 for the first time since 2007 after 17-16 win over No. 4 Carleton” by Jamie Howieson OTTAWA (September 17, 2016) - The No. 7 Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team improved their record to 3-0 for the first time since 2007 on Saturday afternoon as they rallied to edge the No. 4 Carleton Ravens 17-16 at MNP Park.
From there, Laurier stood tall and held the Ravens in check, highlighted by an impressive stop on third and two at midfield on Carleton’s next possession. The Ravens would get no closer to scoring and Laurier ran out the clock to come away with the victory.
For the second straight week, the Hawks rode the legs of fifth year running back Eric Guiltinan of London, Ont., who rushed for 200-yards on 23 carries to help his team overcome a 16-7 deficit late in the third quarter to come away with the victory.
“We schemed a little differently in the second half on offence,” said Faulds on his team’s second half performance. “But when it comes down to it, it was the wear and tear of pounding the ball in the first half that allowed us to have success in the second half. We were the fresher team and that allowed Eric to have a big second half performance.”
“It feels amazing, especially how we won [coming from behind],” said head coach Michael Faulds following the victory. “Our defence played amazing today, especially with their ability to force and create turnovers. Offensively, we couldn’t muster much but we stuck with the run and we wore them down and it turned into big runs in the second half.”
Guiltinan, who continues to lead the OUA in rushing this season, now averaging 155.0 yards per game, was the lone star of a Laurier offence that produced just 263 yards in the contest. Guiltinan accounted for 212 of those yards, as in addition to his 200 rushing yards, he also had 12 yards on two receptions.
Playing in a steady downpour for a majority of the contest, the two nationally-ranked teams kept the ball on the ground for much of the afternoon. However, both team’s defences were prepared and limited the scoring chances on both sides of the football.
John, who started the game at quarterback, completed just 2-of-9 passes for six yards before he was replaced by Knevel who finished the game 4-for-8 for 40 yards.
It was the Hawks’ defence that struck first as safety Taylor Calverley of Pottageville, Ont., intercepted Ravens’ quarterback Jesse Mills of Halifax, in the endzone to keep the Ravens from opening the scoring midway through the first quarter.
“We’re going to have to look at the quarterback position this week,” added Faulds after the game. “That being said, it wasn’t the easiest day to throw the ball in the rain. I’m proud of Michael with how he played coming in at the half and with how Julien handled the switch. That’s the type of character we have on this team.”
From there, Laurier limited Carleton to a pair of first half conceded safeties and a 32-yard field goal from Michael Domagala of St. Catharines, Ont., as the Ravens took a 7-0 lead. With the offence struggling to find their footing, recording just six passing yards in the opening half, the Hawks’ defence stepped up once again late in the second quarter. Linebacker Scott Hutter of London, Ont., stepped in front of a Mills pass and returned it 54-yards for a touchdown to tie the game at seven.
On defence, the stars of the afternoon were Calverley and Hutter. Calverley finished the contest with six total tackles and two interceptions, the first two interceptions of his career. Meanwhile, Hutter registered 4.5 total tackles, one interception, one fumble recovery and one pass breakup. For Carleton, they were led on the afternoon by fourth year running back Jayde Rowe of Scarborough, Ont., as he posted 161 yards on 24 carries. Mills finished the day 19-of-36 for 202 yards and a touchdown while tossing three interceptions and on defence, Leon Cenerini of La Salle, MA, had 10.5 total tackles and one interception.
Hutter’s major marked the third consecutive week that the Hawks have returned an interception for a touchdown, as he joined Godfrey Onyeka of Brampton, Ont., and Malcolm Thompson of Windsor, Ont., in accomplishing the feat. Despite the Hawks great play on defence in the opening half, the Ravens struck quickly to start the second. Carleton completed an eight-play, 76-yard drive with a 13-yard touchdown pass from Mills to Kyle VanWynsberghe of Delhi, Ont., to give them a 14-7 lead.
With the win, the Hawks remain tied with the Ottawa GeeGees (3-0) for first place in the OUA standings as the only two undefeated teams in the conference. As for the Ravens, they drop to 2-2 on the year and sit in a three-way tie for fifth place in the conference.
After conceding their third safety of the day to stake Carleton to a 16-7 advantage, the Hawks run game slowly started coming to life late in the third quarter. With quarterback Michael Knevel of Brantford, Ont., running the offence in place of starter Julien John of Oakville, Ont., the Hawks put together a 10-play, 90-yard drive late in the quarter, highlighted by a 36-yard run by Guiltinan down to the Ravens’ one-yard line.
NOTES: Guiltinan became just the sixth player in Laurier history to record 200 rushing yards in a contest...it also marked a new career-high for the fifth year back...the Hawks were held without a sack on the afternoon after recording 15 through their first two games…Laurier also prevented Carleton from recording a sack in the contest…Saturday’s game was Carleton’s annual Homecoming contest…attendance at the game was 2,819
The drive was capped off one play later by a one-yard touchdown run from Darian Waite of Newmarket, Ont., the first touchdown of his OUA career, to cut the deficit to 16-14.

“Big first half leads MFOOT past Waterloo” “Guiltinan and Boateng shine in 68-7 Homecoming victory over Warriors” by Jamie Howieson
While Laurier slowed down offensively in the second half, adding just 15 points to their final score, the special performances for the Homecoming faithful didn’t stop. Midway through the third quarter, Boateng, a native of Milton, Ont., got through the Warriors offensive line and took down Waterloo starting quarterback Ethan Belbeck of Hamilton, in the endzone for the sack and a safety.
WATERLOO, Ont. (September 24, 2016) - Running back Eric Guiltinan and defensive lineman Kwaku Boateng both etched their names into the Wilfrid Laurier history books on Homecoming weekend as the Golden Hawks defeated the Waterloo Warriors 68-7 at University Stadium.
The sack gave Boateng 18 for his career and moved him into first place on Laurier’s all-time list, 0.5 sacks ahead of Eric Schwab who played for Laurier from 1995-2001.
Playing in front of a boisterous crowd of 7,595 fans, Guiltinan ran for four first half touchdowns, tying him for third on Laurier’s single-game list, while Boateng became the team’s all-time sacks leader to help the Hawks improve their record to 4-0 on the season.
“I’m not surprised [that Kwaku set the record],” said Faulds on his star defensive lineman. “He is an unbelievable leader for us. It’s kind of very fitting that he does it, and gets a safety on the play. He’s just an outstanding leader for us, a great student, and I’m happy for him.”
“Obviously we played really well, and clean football, in the first half,” said head coach Michael Faulds after the Hawks’ fourth straight win to open the year. “In the second half, it’s kind of common nature, you take your foot off the pedal a little bit, you’re getting some of the younger guys into the game, but I’m proud of our team effort.”
One bright spot for Waterloo came in the fourth quarter. Down 65-0 following a 39-yard field goal from the Hawks Nathan Mesher of Kitchener, Ont., and a 21-yard touchdown from Mario Villamizar of St. Catharines, Ont., Waterloo finally found the endzone on a 21-yard pass from backup quarterback AJ Stewart of Ridgeway, Ont., to Tyler Ternowski of Hamilton.
“Yeah, we executed pretty well at the start of the game,” added Guiltinan, echoing his head coach’s comments. “Obviously it was nice having that first drive on the three-yard line to get the momentum going, so yeah it was nice.”
The scoring play ended Laurier’s shutout streak against Waterloo at 185 minutes and five seconds, a stretch that dated back to the fourth quarter of the Hawks game against the Warriors in 2013.
Entering the game with just nine points scored in the first quarter, Laurier looked to get off to a flying start against the last place Warriors (0-5). After a quick two-and-out by Waterloo, Laurier’s special teams unit gave the Hawks the start they needed as they got to Waterloo punter Caleb Girard of Waterford, Ont., taking him down on his own three-yard line.
Outside of Guiltinan’s impressive game, other strong performances came from Knevel, who finished his first career start completing 14-of-21 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns. “He played well,” said Guiltinan on Knevel’s performance. “He didn’t really show any nerves which is always the biggest concern but he stepped up and played great, which is good for him.”
On the ensuing possession, Guiltinan, a native of London, Ont., punched in his first touchdown of the afternoon from two-yards out to give Laurier a 7-0 lead just two minutes and three seconds into the game.
Gordon was also strong on the ground, as he had 86 yards and a touchdown on just five carries. In total, eight Laurier rushers combined to post 440 yards, the sixth-highest total in school history.
Following a conceded safety by the Warriors, the Hawks wasted little time finding the endzone once again. A threeplay, 50-yard drive that lasted just 25 seconds was capped off by Guiltinan’s second touchdown of the afternoon, a 21-yard run to the house that extended the Hawks lead to 16-0.
Defensively, the Hawks spent much of the afternoon in Waterloo’s backfield, finishing with 16 tackles for a loss as well as five sacks, raising their season total to a league-best 20.
Laurier would add one more score in the quarter, a four-yard run by Darian Waite of Newmarket, Ont., to claim a 23-0 lead after 15 minutes, more than doubling their first quarter offensive output from their first three games.
Linebacker Nakas Onyeka of Brampton, Ont., led the way as he had 7.5 total tackles, including 2.5 for a loss, and a pass breakup. Defensive back Scott Hutter of London, Ont., the reigning OUA Defensive Player of the Week, had 4.5 tackles, two for a loss, and two sacks, while rookie defensive back Christian Hutter-Coppin of Barrie, Ont., had Laurier’s lone interception of the day, the first of his career.
The second quarter was much of the same from the Hawks. The team found the endzone on four more occasions, including a pair of 54-yard runs from Guiltinan and Levondre Gordon of Mississauga, Ont., and a 16-yard touchdown reception by Brendan McCracken of Kitchener, Ont.
Laurier’s impressive defence limited Waterloo to just 17 rushing yards and a total of 182 yards on the day. Ternowski was the only player to enjoy any success against the Hawks, making four catches for 133 yards and a touchdown.
Guiltinan would cap the half with a 36-yard scamper to pay dirt as Laurier cruised to a 53-0 lead over their cross-town rivals.
NOTES: Linebacker Brandon Calver of London, Ont., returned from missing the last two games to record 4.5 tackles…receiver Kurleigh Gittens Jr. of Ottawa, had his best performance of the year, making six catches for 56 yards while adding 102 kickoff return yards on three attempts…Guiltinan continues to lead the OUA in average rushing yards per game at 160.5
The first half stats were impressive for the Hawks as they posted 426 yards of offence under the guidance of quarterback Michael Knevel of Brantford, Ont., who was making his first career start. On his own, Guiltinan ran for 176 yards on just 14 carries to go along with the four scores giving him 642 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, tops in the OUA, on the year.

“Mustangs hand MFOOT first loss of the season” “ No. 3 Western pulls away in second half as No. 6 Laurier falls 45-26” by Jamie Howieson
Despite being down by 18 points, the Hawks refused to back down and found the endzone twice in the fourth quarter thanks to a 13-yard run from Kurleigh Gittens Jr. of Ottawa, and Mario Villamizar of St. Catharines, Ont., but it wasn’t enough as Laurier fell to 4-1 on the year.
LONDON, Ont. (October 1, 2016) – The No. 3 Western Mustangs scored 24 points in the second half as they pulled away from the No. 6 Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team to post a 45-26 victory on Saturday afternoon at TD Stadium.
Hall and Gittens Jr. led Laurier on the day as Hall finished with six catches for 166 yards and a touchdown while Gittens Jr. was a star on special teams, posting 161 kickoff return yards and 142 punt return yards, on top of his 40 yards receiving and 13 yards rushing.
Following an early second half touchdown by the Hawks Brentyn Hall of Toronto, that made it a one-score game, the Mustangs proceeded to score 17 consecutive points to put the game out of reach as they ended the Hawks four-game undefeated streak to start the year.
For Gittens Jr., both his return numbers were the third most ever posted by a Golden Hawk in a single game.
“We felt like we had the momentum [after Hall’s touchdown],” said head coach Michael Faulds after the game. “Then they went down and scored, and we failed on a third down conversion. I feel like if we convert on that third down then there’s a chance. But they’re a really high powered offence and we gave them a short field a couple of times so there’s a lot we need to clean up.”
As for Knevel, who was making his second career start, he finished the game 11-for-30 for 243 yards and two touchdowns. For Western, Merchant had a strong afternoon completing 21-of-29 passes for 360 yards, three touchdowns and one touchdown. His favourite target on the day was Johnson who had four catches for 130 yards and a touchdown.
Pegged as the battle of the two top rushing teams in the country, neither team was able to get their ground game going on the afternoon. Laurier was very successful in shutting down Mustangs running back Alex Taylor of Winnipeg, limiting him to just 15 yards in the opening half while Western held the Hawks Eric Guiltinan of London, Ont., to 22 yards.
Nakas Onyeka of Brampton, Ont., led the Laurier defence with 9.5 tackles, including two for a loss and a forced fumble, while Philippe Dion of Blaineville, Que., had 10 total tackles, one sack and three tackles for a loss. With the loss, Laurier drops into a four-way tie for second place in the OUA, joining Ottawa, McMaster and Carleton as teams with four wins this season. The win moves Western into sole possession of first place with a 5-1 record.
However, the Mustangs found success through the air to gain control of the game early on. Quarterback Chris Merchant of Calgary, connected on a touchdown pass to George Johnson of London, Ont., while backup Stevenson Bone of Darian, CT, threw a touchdown pass later in the half to given Western a 21-7 edge at the half.
NOTES: Defensive lineman Rashari Henry of Ottawa, scored Laurier’s fourth defensive touchdown of the season, returning a fumble 33-yards to the endzone in the second quarter… defensive back Godfrey Onyeka of Brampton, Ont., had his second interception of the season, also in the second quarter… both teams finished the game with near-identical rushing yards as Laurier posted 140 while Western had 155, both well below their season averages
Laurier found their aerial attack in the second half and pulled the game to one score when Michael Knevel of Brantford, Ont., hit Hall in the endzone on a 41-yard pass to make the score 21-14. The touchdown was the first of Hall’s career. From there, Western’s offence found another gear led by Taylor. Following a field goal, which stretched Western’s lead to 24-14, Taylor broke a 17-yard run to the endzone to give his team a cushion of 31-14.

“Gittens Jr. shines as MFOOT knocks off Blues” “Hawks receiver scores three touchdowns as Laurier improves to 5-1 with a 54-3 win over Toronto” by Jamie Howieson TORONTO (October 6, 2016) – Thanks to a three touchdown performance by Kurleigh Gittens Jr., the No. 7 Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks returned to the win column with a 54-3 victory over the Toronto Varsity Blues on Thursday night at Varsity Stadium.
Following a pair of scores from teammates Levondre Gordon of Mississauga, Ont., and Brentyn Hall of Toronto, Gittens Jr. found the endzone for the third time late in the second quarter. He took a short pass from Knevel before bursting through the Varsity Blues defence for a 44-yard major.
Gittens Jr., a native of Ottawa, scored the first two touchdowns of the contest before adding a third in the second quarter as Laurier moved to 5-1 on the season and into a tie for first place in the OUA with the Western Mustangs (5-1).
In total, the Hawks receiver/returner finished the night with 98 receiving yards, 129 punt return yards and 14 rushing yards for 241 all-purpose yards. Gittens Jr. was the beneficiary of the best start of Knevel’s career as the Laurier pivot completed 13-of-19 passes for 274 yards and three touchdowns while throwing one interception. He improved to 2-1 as a starter with the purple and gold.
“We played a really clean first half,” said head coach Michael Faulds after the game. “I was really happy with how Michael Knevel threw the ball. He did a great job spreading the ball around to our receivers, including Kurleigh, who was able to show off just how dangerous he is. He was a little banged up earlier this year but he’s starting to get healthy and showing the league what he can do.”
Knevel’s favourite target for the second straight week was Hall as he recorded back-to-back 100-plus yard performances finishing the game with five catches for 121 yards and a touchdown.
“Coming into this game, I felt healthy and I felt good,” added Gittens Jr. when asked about his performance. “I hadn’t had good games in the weeks before, so this game I just wanted to establish myself and that’s what I did.”
On the ground, with fifth year Eric Guiltinan of London, Ont., on the sidelines, rushing duties were shared by Gordon and Osayi Iginuan of Hamilton. Iginuan posted a team-high 98 yards and a touchdown while Gordon finished with 68 yards and a major.
Laurier’s defence was also on full display under the lights in front of 1250 fans demonstrating their big-play ability all night. The Hawks sacked Toronto quarterback Marcus Hobbs of Mississauga, Ont., on seven occasions while picking him off three times, including one that was returned 110 yards for a touchdown by Malcolm Thompson of Windsor, Ont.
Outside of Thompson and Hutter, the Hawks defensive effort was anchored by defensive lineman Jalen Price of Hamilton, who led the team with two sacks along with 3.5 tackles. For the fourth time this season, linebacker Nakas Onyeka of Brampton, Ont., led the way in tackles with 5.5, giving him 134 for his career, fifth most in school history.
His second interception of the game, Thompson’s return matched the longest in team history, a mark he now shares with former Hawks Rohan Dove and Scott McCahill. Thompson also tied the school record for most interception returns for a touchdown in a single season with two, joining Ian Logan, Wally Parker, Larry Uteck and Stacey Coray as players to accomplish the feat.
For Toronto, who were held to just three points on the night, their lowest total of the season, fifth year quarterback Hobbs was held in check by the Hawks defence, finishing the night 19-of-34 for 184 yards. Receiver Rahul Madan of Scarborough, Ont., was the recipient of a team-high five receptions for 58 yards.
Teammate Scott Hutter of London, Ont., also had a pair of picks, giving him three on the year, tied with Thompson for the team lead.
Linebacker Adrian Bernard of Newark, NJ, was named Toronto’s player of the game after recording six tackles, 1.5 for a loss, and a pass breakup.
“Teams are really in a tough predicament when they face us,” said Faulds of his defence. “The QB’s are forced to throw it early because the great play by the defensive line and then when you do have time to throw it , you’re throwing it against some great DB’s and some great linebackers. We’re able to cause sacks and we’re able to force turnovers with interceptions.” But the evening belonged to Gittens Jr., an OUA Second Team All-Star last season. The second year receiver opened the

Needing a response, it was Gordon once again providing the spark as a 36-yard run one the next possession after Roberts’ score set Laurier up for McLean’s second field goal of the game, a 16-yard chip shot that restored the Hawks’ lead to eight.
“#7 MFOOT holds off Guelph for sixth win” “Gordon rushes for 193 yards as Hawks defeat Gryphons 27-25 at first School Day Game” by Jamie Howieson
With Guelph needing a touchdown to have a chance to tie the contest, the Hawks defence stepped up. One promising drive was snuffed out by a key sack from Robbie Smith and Nakas Onyeka, both from Brampton, Ont., while another was stopped thanks to Malcolm Thompson’s (Windsor, Ont.) second interception of the afternoon. On the play, however, Thompson went down with an injury that required him to be helped off the field.
WATERLOO, Ont. (October 14, 2016) – Wilfrid Laurier running back Levondre Gordon rushed for 193 yards and a touchdown to help lead the No. 7 Golden Hawks to a 27-25 win over the Guelph Gryphons on Friday afternoon at University Stadium. Hosting their first School Day Game in front of 4652 fans, the Hawks raced out to a 24-6 lead before holding off the Gryphons late rally to knock off Guelph for the first time in five years and in the process, post their sixth win of the season, their most since 2009.
With one last chance and the clock reading 1:13 left, Roberts drove the Gryphons from their 40-yard line into the endzone, a seven-play drive capped off by a Kian Schaffer-Baker (Guelph, Ont.) touchdown.
“Like we said to the guys all week, they’re [Guelph] not a four-loss football team and they showed that today,” said head coach Michael Faulds after the victory. “They took us right down to the wire but I’m proud of how our guys battled. Leading 24-6, we would like to put them away but in the end, we made enough plays to get the win.”
Needing a two-point conversion to tie the game, Roberts’ pass attempt was knocked down by defensive lineman Trevaughan James of Whitby, Ont. Laurier then recovered Guelph’s onside kick attempt to seal the win, moving them to 6-1 on the season.
“They’re a really good team,” added Gordon, echoing his coach’s comments. “But our offensive line pretty much got it done. They really opened the gaps for all the running backs, including myself. By opening it and spacing it out, that allowed us to have success and establish our passing game.”
Gordon’s performance, which came on just 12 carries, moved him into fifth in conference rushing with 528 yards on the season while his 16.1 yards per carry average bumped his league-best rushing average to 9.6 yards per carry.
Although the Hawks had 20 fewer offensive plays on the afternoon, Laurier was effective in converting a number of big yardage plays to gain control of the contest early. Gordon started proceedings just five minutes into the contest as he broke a 71-yard run for a touchdown to give Laurier a 7-0 lead.
Knevel had another solid performance for the Hawks, finishing 15-of-27 for 222 yards and a touchdown, but did throw his second interception of the year. McCracken finished as Laurier’s top receiver with two catches for 99 yards and a score.
After a pair of field goals from Guelph kicker Gabe Ferraro of Mississauga, Ont., cut the lead to one, Laurier got another explosion play courtesy of quarterback Michael Knevel of Brantford, Ont., and receiver Brendan McCracken of Kitchener, Ont. Pinned deep in their own end, Knevel went over the middle to a wide open McCracken who outran the Gryphons defensive backs for a 94-yard major.
Fellow linebacker Matt Williams of Ajax, Ont., also shone with 10.5 tackles and one sack.
On defence, Onyeka was the star of the show for Laurier as he had 12 tackles, 1.5 sacks and 4.5 tackles for a loss. His 4.5 tackles for a loss give him 13 on the season, second most in the conference.
Guelph, meanwhile, fell to 2-5 on the season and are in danger of missing the postseason after winning the Yates Cup a year ago.
The play, which gave the Hawks a 14-6 advantage, was the fifth-longest pass-and-catch in school history. Laurier would go on to add a 29-yard field goal from Nathan McLean of Kitchener, Ont., to take a 17-6 lead at the half.
They were led by receiver A’Dre Fraser of Halifax, as he had nine catches for 127 yards while Roberts finished the game 23-for-37 for 296 yards and one touchdown but also threw three interceptions.
The Hawks continued rolling to start the third quarter thanks to another big run from Gordon. The 5-11 speedster broke a 42-yard run to set up a one-yard plunge from Osayi Iginuan of Hamilton, as Laurier stretched their lead to 24-6.
Linebacker Lukas Korol of Burlington, Ont., had nine tackles to lead their defensive effort.
“The thing about Levondre is that he has a speed that no one else has,” said Faulds of his running back. “He’s able to run away from people, and because he’s small, he’s able to hide behind our big offensive line, much like Dillon used to do, and then when he pops out, he’s going full speed.”
NOTES: Onyeka’s 12-tackle performance gives him 146 for his career, moving him into fourth place on Laurier’s career tackles list…Thompson’s two interceptions give him five for the season, tied for fifth most in a single season in school history…Thompson also now has 268 interception return yards this year, a number that shatters Laurier’s single-season record, previously 185 set by Rohan Dove back in 1986…he also now owns the school record for career interception return yards with 328, breaking the mark of 276 previously held by Stacey Coray between 1971-72
However, with the playoff lives hanging in the balance, Guelph responded with a Mack Jones (Port Colborne, Ont. ) 25- yard touchdown rush late in the third quarter and a two-yard run from quarterback James Roberts (Cambridge, Ont.) early in the fourth to pull themselves back into the contest.

“MFOOT clinches second place in the OUA” “Golden Hawks finish with best record since 2007 following 38-9 win over Windsor” by Jamie Howieson
Both Guiltinan and Gordon also finished inside the Top 7 in the conference in rushing yards with 736 and 637 respectively.
WINDSOR, Ont. (October 22, 2016) – The No. 7 Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team clinched second place in the OUA and a first-round playoff bye on Saturday afternoon as they defeated the Windsor Lancers 38-9 at Alumni Field.
In total, Laurier posted 563 yards of offence in the game to just 150 for the Lancers. The defensive effort was once again anchored by linebacker Nakas Onyeka of Brampton, Ont., who had nine total tackles and a sack in the victory. Onyeka finishes the season ranked first in the conference in solo tackles with 51 and second in tackles for a loss with 15.
The victory gives the Hawks a 7-1 record on the year, giving them their best finish since 2007, and marks a turnaround for the program that saw the team improve from 1-7 under head coach Michael Faulds’ first season in 2013.
Also shining on defence was defensive lineman Trevaughan James of Whitby, Ont., who had five tackles and recovered a fumble for a touchdown. The touchdown was the sixth of the season for Laurier’s defence, leaving them first in the conference in the category.
“The success we’ve enjoyed this season is extra special because of where we were,” said Faulds after the victory. “It’s a testament to all our players and staff. The message we brought to the program back in 2013 was to stay the course. The players knew it was going to be a process that would take time. Our guys truly bought into that and have trusted in the staff. We’re finally seeing the rewards of all our hard work that we put in.”
“It’s kind of neat that all six defensive touchdowns happened in different games,” stated Faulds on the play of his defence this season. “Scoring six in eight games is unheard of in this league. Our defence will be tough our opposition to prepare for as we move forward into the playoffs.”
As they have done all season, Laurier used a balanced rushing attack and a stout defence to knock off the Lancers. However, the Hawks also threw an accurate passing game at their opponents to round out a performance that saw the purple and gold end a four-game losing streak against Windsor.
Windsor’s top performers were quarterback Jalen Brady of Southfield, Mich., who was 10-for-16 for 86 yards while running back Tarrence Crawford of Windsor, Ont., had 68 rushing yards on 18 carries.
Quarterback Michael Knevel of Brantford, Ont., was the star of the game for Laurier as he had a career-afternoon, completing 15-of-20 passes for 298 yards and a touchdown in windy conditions. Knevel’s 15 completions matched his career-best while his 298 yards through the air were a new career record.
Receiver Chris Tannous of Leamington, Ont., scored Windsor’s only major of the game on a seven-yard pass late in the contest. Laurier will now have two weeks to prepare for their first home playoff game since 2010.
His favourite targets on the day were wideouts Kurleigh Gittens Jr. of Ottawa, and Brentyn Hall of Toronto. Gittens Jr. had a game-high 122 yards through the air, the second most of his career, while Hall had 113 yards.
“We’re a confident groups but we have lots to improve on,” said Faulds on the Hawks’ mindset heading into postseason. “This we can get guys healthy and fine-tune some things on both sides of the ball. We can’t prepare for one team because we know there can be upsets so this week we’ll concentrate on us getting better.”
Fellow receiver Marcus Arkarakas of Richmond Hill, Ont., had the Hawks’ lone major through the air to go along with three catches for 61 yards. On the ground, Levondre Gordon of Mississauga, Ont., continued his breakout season with his third 100-plus yard rushing game of the year, finishing with 109 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. Gordon’s performance allowed him to finish the season averaging 8.7 yards per carry, tops in the conference by a yard and a half.
NOTES: Laurier finished the season with 2259 rushing yards, the fourth most in team history and the most in a single season since 1977…the Hawks 341 points were the second-most in a single season in team history, trailing only the 343 they posted in 2004…Gittens Jr. finished the year with 293 kickoff return yards, the sixth most by a single player in school history… Onyeka’s 59.5 total tackles this season tie him for fourth on Laurier’s single-season list with Kevin MacNeill…he also moved into third place on the Hawks’ all-time career tackles list with 155
Fellow sophomore Osayi Iginuan of Hamilton, had 13 carries for 92 yards while fifth year Eric Guiltinan of London, Ont., had 46 yards and two touchdowns on 11 attempts. Guiltinan’s two touchdowns set the tone early for Laurier as

During that year, the Mitchell Bowl played opposite to that of the Churchill Bowl. However, with the introduction of the Uteck Bowl in 2003, the Mitchell Bowl replaced and assumed the history of the Churchill Bowl.

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.
