GUELPH, ON - Friday night at the Gryphon Soccer Complex, the Gryphons men's soccer team scored a season-high nine goals en route to an emphatic 9-0 win over the visiting Waterloo Warriors. With the win, the No. 8-ranked Gryphons improve to 9-1-2 on the season, while the Warriors fall to 2-9-1.

A total of seven different Gryphon players found the back of the net, with rookies Alex Zis and Mitchell Lefebvre each scoring a pair.
