Mustangs headed to Waterloo for Yates Cup [Video]

It’s a rare occurrence where the Yates Cup game is not being played at Western’s Alumni Stadium.

The Mustangs defeated Guelph 30-19 to advance to their ninth straight OUA football final. But, for only the second time in nine years, it’s being played outside of London.

“It’s my fourth Yates Cup in a row and it means the world to me,” said Western Defensive Lineman Soren Hallschmid.

“I wish it was here at Western but dropped that one game early in the year, and now we have to go back there (Wilfrid Laurier University) with a vengeance and take care of business, because the means so much, man, this is history if we can win four in a row.”

The Laurier Golden Hawks beat Western 43-28 on Sept. 14, en route to an undefeated season, so now the Mustangs will have to go on the road to Waterloo next Saturday.
