WVB RECAP: Playoff-bound Gryphons end regular season with sweep of Waterloo; Guelph will head to Kingston to face Queen’s in OUA Quarterfinals

GUELPH, Ont. – The Guelph Gryphons women's volleyball team will head into the OUA playoffs with plenty of momentum. The playoff-bound Gryphons closed out their 2025-26 regular season schedule with back-to-back home wins over the Waterloo Warriors on Friday night (Feb. 13) and Saturday night (Feb. 14). The Gryphons end the 20-game regular season with a record of 14-6, good for 5th-place in the 15-team OUA standings. The No. 5-seeded Gryphons will now head to Kingston to take on the No. 4-seeded Queen's Gaels on Friday, Nov. 20 in an OUA quarterfinal matchup. Both the Gryphons and Gaels finished the regular season with identical 14-6 records, but Queen's holds the tiebreaker thanks to their two head-to-head wins over Guelph on Jan. 9 and 10, which also mark the last time the Gryphons lost a game, with Guelph's overall win streak now having reached eight.
