WBB: Van Balkom, Yallin shoot the lights out - Gryphons end season on high note

Box Score
Guelph, ON – The Gryphons women's basketball team ended their 2014-2015 season on a high note with an 84-67 victory over Lakehead on Saturday night at the W.F. Mitchell Athletics Centre. 
 
The Gryphons were on fire from the start on Saturday night.  Guelph poured in 27 points in the opening quarter to build up a 17 point lead after the opening 10 minutes and they would never look back.  Fourth year guard Dana Van Balkom (Hamilton, ON) finished with a season-high 26 points on eight of 13 shooting (six of eight from three point land).  Third year guard Katelyn Yallin (Port Colborne, ON) finished a perfect six of six from beyond the arc for 18 points off the bench.  Thanks to those two, the Gryphons finished the night an impressive 12 of 21 from downtown (57%).
 
After the game, the Gryphons honoured a pair of graduating players Kayla Goodhoofd and Alyssa Shortt as part of the 'Senior Night' celebrations.  Although the Gryphons finished with an identical 8-11 win-loss record with Brock, it is the Badgers who hold the head-to-head tiebreak and will be heading to the postseason.  The top three teams in each division make the playoffs.  The Gryphons finish the season fourth in the OUA Central Division with an 8-11 record.
