  • Women's Basketball History 2018-2019
    Women’s Basketball History 2018-2019 Season Record: 9-15 (4th in the OUA West) Playoff Record: 1-1 (lost to Lakehead in OUA West semi-final) The Gryphons entered the 2018/19 season ready to build on a strong previous year in which they earned home court advantage for the opening round of the OUA playoffs. The 2018-19 campaign proved to be a challenging year as Guelph endured a slew of injuries to key players, but the Gryphons, buoyed by the play of OUA All-Star Burke Bechard team highs of 15.8 ppg and 8.5 rpg), veteran guards Skyla Minaker and Sarah Holmes, forward Ivana Vujadinovic, and a cast of young players getting extended minutes because of the injuries, found their legs late in the season. Guelph recaptured its identity by ramping up the defence to finish the season with wins in three of the last four games. The roll continued in the OUA West quarter-final as the Gryphons got 20 points from Bechard to knock of the Windsor Lancers 62-59 on the road. Guelph then travelled to Thunder Bay to take on the Lakehead Thunderwolves in the OUA West semi-final but the hosts eliminated the resilient Gryphons with a tough 79-71 win. Head Coach: Mark Walton (3rd season) Assistants: Alexis Heit, Megan Reid, Dana Van Balkom Team Manager: Ally Peek Director of Basketball Operations: Howard Kiel Trainers: Chelsea Corner, Taylor Dunlop Strength & Conditioning: Josh Ford Video: Quincy Sickles-Jarvis Team Awards MIP - Modupe Okeowo MVP - Burke Bechard OUA All-Stars Burke Bechard – OUA Third Team All-Star Marija Bakoc Skyla Minaker Natalie Vigna Burke Bechard Nyasha Mombeshora Ivana Vujadinovic Tatjana Boskovic Modupe Okeowo Ashley Wheeler Sarah Holmes Ariana Pirovic Ashley White Maripier Kingsley Hanna Pryce Julia Kokonis Alexis Pulford-Thorpe 2017-2018 Season Record: 14-10 (4th in the OUA West) Playoff Record: 0-1 (lost to Western OUA playoffs 1st round) As a veteran coach with decades of experience, Mark Walton has preached a consistent message with his teams – trust in the process.

When former and current players and coaching staff and others with an interest in the Gryphons football program gathered for the annual Friends of Gryphon Football golf tournament at the Guelph Lakes Golf and Country Club, it was more about getting together and reminiscing with old friends than burning up the golf course.

A lot of present and former Gryphon players decide to give back to the sport by trying to pass on their knowledge to the next crop of football players.

The 6-foot-1, 245-pound defensive lineman had three solo and six assisted tackles, three and a half sacks for a loss of 22 yards and he broke up a pass in the overtime loss to the Ottawa Gee-Gees to be named the league’s defensive player of the week.
