After a 2023 season that saw Lancer football earn its first-ever playoff victory at Alumni Stadium, head coach Jean-Paul Circelli is looking for his team to build on that momentum.

“Knowing how successful 2023 was for our team and how close we were to getting to the championship has fuelled our student-athletes for this upcoming season,” he says. “The players know that they have unfinished business and have the goal of winning their last game.”

The squad will kick off its 2024 campaign Saturday, Aug. 24, hosting the Queen’s Gaels at 4 p.m.

The game is faculty-staff appreciation day: UWindsor employees can claim a 50 per cent discount on admissions for up to four fans.

Circelli is keen to see many take advantage of the offer.

“I know our student-athletes and coaches are excited about the 2024 season and have been looking forward to playing in front of our great home crowds,” he says. “We hope to see everyone out cheering on the Lancers bringing that blue collar and gold swagger!”
