Cassidy Anderson corner kick to give the visiting Gryphons a 1-0 lead. After the Mustangs drew level early in the 2nd half, the Gryphons would re-take the lead in the 59th minute when
Isabella Trepanier's cross into the box led to a Mustangs own-goal, giving the Gryphons a 2-1 lead. In the 78th minute, Guelph would extend the lead to 3-1, when a
Katie Kimens header off the crossbar was knocked in by third-year winger,
Ella Cahill, whose second goal of the season sealed a big three points for the Gryphons.
Friday afternoon's game marked the first of three consecutive road games for the Gryphons (2-0-0), who will return to action on Friday, Sept. 11 when they travel to Ansley Alumni Field in Waterloo to take on the Laurier Golden Hawks.
