Ithaca, NY (Aug. 25, 2014) – The Gryphon women's soccer team wrapped up their road trip today with a 1-1 draw against the Ithaca College Bombers.

The Bombers struck first with a goal on a corner kick only five minutes into the contest. Guelph pressed for the equalizer and late in the first half they were awarded a penalty kick when Breanna Hall was pulled down in the 18-yard box.  The Bombers goalkeeper made an excellent save on the penalty kick taken by Hall.

In the middle of the second half the Gryphons found the equalizer when Kristina Strojin scored on an intelligent and composed individual effort. Late in the game the Ithaca College goalkeeper made an excellent save on a long-range effort from Meredith Langston. The Gryphon back four led by centreback Stephanie Moore played very well and limited the chances of the quick Ithaca forwards.

The Gryphons will next play in the annual Baden Klein Cup pre-season match against the Ryerson Rams on Wednesday (Aug. 27) at the Gryphon Soccer Complex. The Gryphon women' will kick things off at 4:00 p.m. and the men's game will go at 6:00 p.m.
 
Guelph will open the regular season this weekend at home against the Waterloo Warriors on Saturday (Aug. 30) and then hit the road to play the Brock Badgers on Sunday (Aug. 31).
