Stephenson hits next milestone in Lancer loss By Michal Tellos Sports Editor October 8, 2008 It was another bittersweet night for Daryl Stephenson as he took part in another devastating loss at the hands of the Western Mustangs, but personally ran past the 5,000-yard mark in his Lancer career. The sold-out Mustang crowd of 11,406, who were celebrating their homecoming, were not disappointed, as they steamrolled over the now 3-3 Lancers by a score of 58-5, the Lancers’ worst loss of the year. The first quarter was deceiving, as the Lancers seemingly managed to hold the Mustangs at bay, successfully kicking a field goal and forcing their opponents to concede a safety. >> | Rugby rookies improve despite another loss By Michal Tellos Sports Editor October 8, 2008 The Lancers men’s rugby team dropped yet another game last Saturday, this time to the Waterloo Warriors by a relatively close margin of 26-7. The game was fairly close until the last 10 minutes, when the Lancers fell apart. “It was 14-7 for about the first 70 minutes, and about the 70-minute mark we were looking to score, and we got over the line, and we knocked it off in the end zone, otherwise we would have had momentum and we would have had a tie game,” said head coach Andrew Ciavaglia. >>  | | Campus Kiss | | Playoffs will come to wire for soccer By Michal Tellos Sports Editor October 8, 2008 The Lancers men’s and women’s soccer teams each earned points over the weekend, but they may not have been enough to secure playoff spots. The teams hosted the Waterloo Warriors last Saturday and the Guelph Gryphons the following day. The men lost to Waterloo by a score of 1-0, but managed to tie Guelph in a high-scoring game that ended 3-3. The women tied both of their games, finishing 2-2 against Waterloo and 1-1 against Guelph. The weekend leaves the men in seventh place in the OUA West, while the women moved up one position, moving into sixth place, despite still being winless. There are only four games remaining in the season for the men, and three for the women. Both teams will play against the Western Mustangs in a road game on Thursday, Oct. 9.
