LONDON, Ont. – After a strong 4-2 victory over the Brock Badgers last Sunday, the Mustangs continued their offensive consistency to top the Waterloo Warriors by a score of 2-0 on Saturday afternoon at Mustangs Field. Fifth-year defender Kym Van Duynhoven was responsible for the game-winning goal, finding the back of the net towards the end of the first half.

"It was a tough game. Waterloo came and they had a very good game plan, they're very organized," said Western head coach Martin Painter. "I was really happy with the energy we had from our back-four for the entire game. I thought that was the best part of our team today. They were loud, they were decisive, they were energetic, and I think their quality is what was the difference today."

With the win, the Mustangs maintain their undefeated record and remain in third in the OUA West division with an 8-0-5 record, closing in on Guelph's 8-2-5 second-place standing. The loss will drop the Warriors' record to 0-11-2 to stay in eighth place.

Van Duynhoven's goal was her third of the season, scoring late in the first half to open the Western scoring. Jenna White assisted on the goal to help facilitate the offence. Sonja Cvetkovic's goal also marked her third of the season, and her energy on both ends of the field helped the team to secure the Mustangs victory.

Waterloo came out strong to start the game, playing physically and stopping the Mustangs' initial scoring chances. Despite the strong play from the Warriors, Western would eventually break through the defence for Van Duynhoven to put Western on the scoreboard. Cvetkovic would score her goal just six minutes later to seal the victory for the purple and white.

 "She's been fantastic all season and today was another great game," said Painter when addressing Cvetkovic's performance. "She got a well deserved goal. Her presence in the air, her energy, her toughness, and her desire to win the ball is just fantastic and it makes a big difference for us."

"Amy did really well today getting on the ball. She did a lot of runs up front which really helped us in the first half," said Van Duynhoven, praising teammate Amy Lintack. "One of our goals today was to improve our communication, and I think we definitely did better throughout the game."

The Mustangs will be back in action tomorrow, October 16, as they host the Laurier Golden Hawks on Mustangs Field. The game is set to begin at 12:00 p.m.
