Box Score
Guelph, ON - Last season in the playoffs, the Gryphons had UQTR's number, defeating them in the Queen's Cup to capture the OUA title as well as at the University Cup in Halifax to capture CIS Bronze. Friday night at the Gryphon Centre, the Patriotes got a little revenge with a 2-0 victory over the Gryphons. With the loss, the Gryphons fall to 3-5-0 on the season while the No. 6-ranked Patriotes improve to 7-1-1 on the season. UQTR goalie Sebastien Auger made 36 saves for the shutout.

The first period saw both teams on top of their game defensively. There weren't a lot of scoring chances in the period, but the best scoring chances of the period went to UQTR. However, the Patriotes were unable to solve Gryphon goalie Andrew D'Agostini early on, as he turned away all 11 shots sent his way to keep the game scoreless heading to the 2nd.

The 2nd period took on a life of its own in a very eventful, action packed, penalty-filled period. The chippy affair saw the Gryphons and Patriotes take penalty after penalty, some of which led to a four minute power play opportunity for the Gryphons midway through the period. Unfortunately for the Gryphons, they were unable to capitalize on the extended man advantage as the game remained deadlocked at 0-0. UQTR would finally open the scoring on a power play of their own when Martin Lefebvre finished off some nice passing to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.

The Gryphons had one last power to end the 2nd period creating chance after chance but were unable to solve Patriotes goalie Sebastien Auger who stood tall the entire night. As the power play was about to come to a close with 24 seconds left in the second, it appears the Gryphons had tied it up as Robert Lepine's tip found the back of the net. However, after the refs huddled up, they would wave off the goal citing the net behind Auger was dislodged. As a result, UQTR was able to head to the 3rd period with their 1-0 lead still intact.

UQTR was able to extend their lead to 2-0 in the 3rd period on a shorthanded goal from Carl-Antoine Delisle. Delisle split a pair of defenders and beat D'Agostini blocker side to double the lead. The Gryphs had a window of opportunity to mount a comeback on a 5 on 3 with 10:11 remaining in the game but Auger was up to the task as he thwarted the Guelph attack all night. The Gryphons finished the night 0-for-8 on the power play. Between the two teams, there were 94 minutes of penalties and 6 misconducts.

The Gryphons are back on the ice Saturday night (Nov. 7) as they look to rebound as they host the Concordia Stingers at the Gryphon Centre. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
