LONDON, Ont. - Christian Douglas and Parker Seymour each netted two goals as the Western Mustangs climbed their way to a 5-1 victory over the Waterloo Warriors on Saturday afternoon at Mustangs Field.

"It's a good feeling to get a win," said head coach Rock Basacco on the victory. "The boys worked hard and played well and finished on our chances, and that's being the difference. Our attack is improving, so it was nice to score those goals, and now we just have to continue it against some of the teams like York and Laurier, and other teams that we will be facing."

The Mustangs season record now improves to 4-4-1, while Waterloo sits at 0-7-1.

With Saturday's performance Douglas now sits tied for third on the OUA leaderboard with eight goals on the season, while Parker has five goals on his record.

The Mustangs were quick to establish the game as theirs to take, controlling possession for the majority of the game. With a free kick given to Western, Seymour took the opportunity to curve a shot into the upper right corner to open up the scoring. Five minutes later Douglas would slide a shot past Warriors keeper Adam Weller, making the score 2-0. By then end of the first 45 minutes, both Douglas and Parker had found the back of the net once again with the Mustangs up 4-0.

The Mustangs continued their momentum in the second half making numerous offensive pushes and maintaining control of the game. They would remain strong on the offensive front, which paid off when striker Jacob Peplinski added a goal in the 87th minute. Waterloo responded with a goal by Matthew Cimino in the 89th minute to make the score 5-1; however it was too late for the Warriors as the Mustangs came out victorious.

The purple and white will have a few days to rest before they hit the road to face the Windsor Lancers on Wednesday, October 1. The Mustangs will kick-off at 8:15 p.m. as they look to record another win.
