This weekend in Waterloo, the Gryphons hit the win column twice posting a 13-1 regular season record to secure top spot in the OUA for the second consecutive year. The Gryphons defeated Carleton on Saturday 7-0 and York on Sunday 5-1.

 

Saturday, Guelph blanked Carleton 7-0 ignited by a 4-goal performance from Brienne Stairs. Rookie Laura Gordon recorded a hat trick, her first as a member of the red, black and gold side and Brittany Seidler notched three assists.

 

On Sunday, in the final league contest, the Gryphs defeated the York Lions 5-1. Seidler struck first eliminating the Lions' netminder after a string of five consecutive passes was initiated out of the backfield. Fifteen minutes later, Gordon scored the game winner, her 4th in two days and 7th as a Gryphon (7 in 7 games and 10th in the OUA). Brienne Stairs netted a hat-trick while Seidler added a single for her 17th on the season to earn 2nd spot on the CIS scoring charts.

 

On the defensive side of the ball, netminders, Kaye McLagan, Dorothy Marcy and Alex Bland and the defensive line combined for a mere 12 goals against tying for least goals against (.86). 2010 marked yet another campaign of new benchmarks for Guelph. The Gryphons amassed 85 goals in league play to set a new record in not only Guelph's history but also that of the OUA and the CIS.
