Down 13-12, the Gryphons called timeout and, following 2 huge blocks by Maddie DeDecker and Alicia Combe-Dingwall, closed out the win at 15-13.
 
Coach Funk said, "This was another hard-fought victory for our team. Ryerson's defence was spectacular at times and we really had to dig deep to come away with the win. Our offensive balance was great tonight and Becky Breau did a great job off the bench for us."
