Box Score
Guelph, Ont. - The Gryphon women's hockey team defeated the Laurentian Voyageurs 2-0 Sunday afternoon at the Gryphon Centre.  Gryphon rookie goalie Valarie Lamenta (Montreal, Que.) made 22 saves for the shutout as Guelph improved to 9-2-2 on the season.  With the loss, Laurentian falls to 2-9-3.

Despite out-shooting Laurentian 14-6 in the opening period, it was scoreless heading to the second period.  The Gryphons would continue to put pressure on the Voyageurs and would be rewarded at the 4:46 mark of the second period when Christine Grant (Mississauga, Ont.) would open the scoring with her fourth goal of the season.  With the score still 1-0 in the third period, Leigh Shilton (Belleville, Ont.) would give the Gryphons some breathing room with her third goal of the season coming on a hard wrist shot from the top of the circle to make it 2-0 Guelph.



Guelph's rookie goalie Valarie Lamenta made her third start of the season and showed Gryphon fans that the future in between the pipes is bright, even when Stephanie Nehring graduates.  Lamenta turned away all 22 shots she faced for the shutout.  In 120 minutes of action this weekend, the Gryphons allowed just one goal and their 22 goals against on the season are the second lowest total in the OUA.  The Gryphons next OUA game will not take place until January 10th, but they will be in exhibition action on Sunday December 28^th at the Gryphon Centre when they host third ranked team in the country in the University of Alberta Pandas.  Puck drop is set for 3:00 p.m.
