guelph gryphons

The Guelph Gryphons and Algoma Thunderbirds gave it their all this weekend but it wasn’t enough to beat the No. 3 nationally ranked Gee-Gees. Calvin Epistola, Borys Minger, and Kevin Civil had themselves a nice weekend on the court as the Gees overpowered Guelph 88-70 and Algoma 88-67.

The game got off to a quick start. Less than 15 seconds in, U of O guard Gage Sabean opened up the scoring on a jump-shot, prompting an immediate response from Guelph to tie it 20 seconds later.

The board is set, and the number-two ranked University of Ottawa Gee-Gees will face off against the number-three ranked Guelph Gryphons on Nov. 3 at home for the second round of the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) playoffs.

The game was a back-and-forth defensive battle throughout, with a mere safety being the difference for the Gee-Gees in what turned out to be a nail-biting finish.
