WATERLOO, Ont. - Laurier women's soccer announced today its 12-match schedule for the 2024 Ontario University Athletics (OUA) regular season.

The Golden Hawks' season will kick off on Labour Day weekend when the purple and gold hit the road to face the Brock Badgers in St. Catherines on Friday, August 30 at 6 pm. The last time the two teams squared off to start the season was in 2017.

Laurier will host the Algoma Thunderbirds for its home opener for the first time since 2015 at Alumni Field on Sunday, September 8 at 1 pm.

Of note, the team will play four of their six home games between September 8 and 27. 

The Battle of Waterloo derby will occur on September 13 and 15, beginning on home turf under the lights. It's been a one-sided rivlary of late, as WLU is undefeated in their past eight matches against the Warriors, dating back to 2018. They are 5-0-3 in that span.

The rematch of last season's quarterfinal loss at Western is scheduled for October 4 in London, while Senior Night will take place on October 9 against Windsor. Laurier defeated the Lancers dramatically in last year's playoffs to reach the OUA quarterfinals for the first time since 2017.

For the second year in a row, they will conclude the regular season in the Rose City; on Thanksgiving weekend, Saturday, October 12.

As always, every Golden Hawks home game is non-ticketed and admission is free.
