Western
Mustangs
women’s
soccer open
season with
a win
against UOIT
The Western Mustangs
women’s soccer team
got the 2012 regular
season off to a good
start Friday,
defeating the
University of
Ontario Institute of
Technology 1-0 on
the women's side and
4-1 on the
men's
in Oshawa.
Coming off a
second-place finish
at the annual Old
Four Tournament,
including shutting
out defending CIS
Champion Queen’s, it
was another
low-scoring contest
for the Mustang
women on Friday.
It was a scoreless
affair for the
majority of the
match before
first-year striker
Lauren Winquist
scored in the 88th
minute, making her
first game as a
Mustang a memorable
one. Another rookie,
Oakville’s Tori
Edgar, got the win
in net backstopping
Western to a shut
out victory.
Friday’s win was the
first for new head
coach Martin
Painter, who
returned to Western
in December 2011
after leading the
Fanshawe College
women’s team for the
past five seasons.
This past summer
Painter also led FC
London to the first
Premier Development
League title in team
history.

Western Mustangs
Women’s Soccer draw
against Windsor
Coming off
of a win
against the
University
of Ontario
Institute of
Technology
in their
season
opener, the
Western
Mustangs
women’s
soccer teams
were back on
the pitch
Monday night
against the
Windsor
Lancers. The
women earned
a 2-2 draw
and remain
undefeated
after the
season’s
opening
weekend.
The Mustangs
got off to a
rocky start
against the
Lancers when
Kelly
Riccardi
opened up
the scoring
for Windsor
only three
minutes into
the game.
The Mustangs
answered
back with
only a few
minutes
remaining in
the first
half as
Marjolein
Buiter
scored her
first goal
of the
season to
send the
game to
halftime
tied at one.
Lauren
Winqvist put
Western
ahead in the
56th minute
with her
second goal
in as many
games.
However
Windsor was
quick to
respond, as
Tina Vagnini
netted the
game’s final
goal to make
it a 2-2
final.
Next up for
the Mustangs
are road
games
against
Brock on
September 8,
and McMaster
