In the late 1970's, the Gryphons women's curling team made program history. During the 1977-78 season, the Gryphons were crowned OUA champions in women's curling, marking the first provincial title for the University of Guelph in women's curling. The 1978 women's curling team that captured the O.W.I.A.A. title (Ontario Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Association) was comprised of Ada Galloway, Louise Harvey, Pam Taylor, Carol Weeks and Susan Wright, with the team coached by Dr. Murray MacGrego. Two years later, during the 1979-80 season, the Gryphons women's curling team took home the trophy again, capturing their second provincial title in a three-year span. The 1980 team was represented by Darlene Gillen, Louise Harvey, Cindy Murakami, Jill Rowett and Susan Wright, with Murray MacGregor and Shirley Peterson serving as the team's coaches. The two provincial titles from the Gryphons women's curling team in 1978 and 1980 would stand for nearly half a century as the only OUA titles in program history, until this past season, with the Gryphons women's curling team winning the 2026 OUA title to be crowned provincial champs for the first time in 46 years.
