This Friday evening, the Waterloo Warriors made a short trip to face the Laurier Golden Hawks. With the cool night air settling in, the stage was set for an exciting local rivalry.

The first half of the match saw both teams evenly matched, with each side having their share of attacking opportunities. The Warriors' offense was notably energized by James Arango (Mississauga), whose exceptional footwork and agility turned key rushes into significant threats. After using the first half to find their rhythm, the Warriors were ready to take control in the second half.

Into the second half, the Warriors continued their strong performance, but despite their high energy, they couldn't find the back of the net. Meanwhile, the Golden Hawks showcased their determination, with their passionate home crowd rallying behind them. After a competitive exchange, the Golden Hawks scored a late goal in the final minute, clinching a 1-0 victory.

The Warriors look to continue their battle as they take on their neighborhood rivals once more on Sunday, September 15, this time at Warrior Field.
