The Waterloo Warriors used their last game of the regular season to squeak into the U Sports football playoffs with a 3-5 record. Their reward is a daunting first-round matchup against a longtime crosstown rival.
The 7-1 Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks will host the Warriors in an Ontario quarterfinal on Saturday at University Stadium.
The big test for the Warriors will be trying to shut down Golden Hawks quarterback Taylor Elgersma and the high-powered Laurier offence. "It has been a season full of peaks and valleys," Bertoia said."The big thing is in the second half of our season we played some quality football." Carleton trailed the Guelph Gryphons by 13 points late in the fourth quarter but pulled off a stunning 29-27 comeback win by scoring two touchdowns in the final minute.
In the other quarterfinals, the Ravens will visit the third-seeded Windsor Lancers on Saturday and the No. 4 Queen's Gaels will entertain the fifth-seeded Ottawa Gee-Gees .
