The Guelph Gryphons head to London to face the defending Vanier Cup champion and No. 1-ranked Western Mustangs.
This will mark the first meeting of the 2018 season between these two OUA rivals, with Western going undefeated (8-0) to earn the No. 1 seed in the OUA playoffs, while Guelph finished 5-3, good for 3rd in the conference.
The Gryphons are in search of the fifth Yates Cup in program history (1984, 1992, 1996 & 2015) and return to the site of their
