Box Score
Guelph, Ont. - Friday night at the Gryphon Centre, the Carleton Ravens defeated the Guelph Gryphons 5-2.  With the loss, the Gryphons fall to 4-11-3 while the Ravens improve to 14-4-0.

After an impressive 8-1 win over Ryerson on January 3rd to begin the new year, the Gryphons continued the good form early on Friday night as they hosted one of the top teams in the OUA.  Nick Huard (North Bay, Ont.) scored his team-leading seventh goal of the season, it would also prove to be the only goal of the opening period as the Gryphons led 1-0 heading to the 2nd.  Carleton would score a pair of goals in the second period to take the lead, but in the third the Gryphons would tie it up as rookie Seth Swenson (Parker, Col.) would get his first in a Gryphons uniform to tie the game at 2-2.  Swenson, who also assisted on the Huard goal, finished with a two-point night, as did Gryphons second year winger Teal Burns (Victoria, BC).  Unfortunately for the Gryphons however, the game would not stay tied at 2-2 for long.  Just over two minutes after the Gryphons found the equalizer, the Ravens would re-take the lead thanks to a rookie of their own as Hayden Hulton (Kingston, Ont.) made it 3-2 Carleton.  The Ravens, who outshot the Gryphons 32-24 on the night, would tack on two more from there, scoring a total of three goals in the third period in the span of just over five minutes. 

This game marked the beginning of a three game homestand for the Gryphons, who will be back in action on Saturday night at 7:30pm when they host the 0-15-2 RMC Paladins.  The homestand will conclude on Friday, January 16th when the Gryphons face Brock at the Sleeman Centre in the 6th edition of 'The Frosty Mug.'
