The Mustangs had a busy week, dropping a Tuesday night game under the lights to the Guelph Gryphons before falling to the Waterloo Warriors 1-0 over the weekend.

The purple and white consistently showed up hungry to win and put up a good fight, yet struggled to find the back of the net. However, the Mustangs defensive game plan was more than effective as goalkeeper Marielle Fernback displayed her veteran experience, often making game-saving saves to keep the Mustangs in the game.

Western faced a 4-0 defeat on September 22, as they hosted one of the top OUA teams in the Guelph Gryphons at TD Stadium. Knowing it would be a tough match, the purple and white were prepared for a strong 70-minute defensive match. Although the Gryphons dominated with a total of 44 circle entries, the Mustangs guarded the net and warded off various scoring opprtunitues.

The Mustang's then traveled to York University this past Saturday, undergoing a tough 1-0 loss to the Waterloo Warriors. Western came out with high momentum in the first half managing to put ample pressure on the Warriors. After a long first half of out competing Waterloo, the game still remained scoreless.
 
The Mustangs continued to pressure the black and white well into the second half of the game with great communication travelling up the field.  Despite their solid defensive unit, the Warriors managed to score on a short corner with just six minutes remaining in the game. With their greatest efforts, the Mustangs tried to get on the scoreboard in the short time they had left. However, they could not prevail, finishing the game.
 
The Mustang's are hosting the next set of games in the OUA schedule at TD Stadium Saturday October 3. The purple and white will be seeking revenge against the York Lions at 9 a.m. before flipping to take on the Univerisity of Toronto for the first time this season at 4 p.m.
