London, ON – After winning back-to-back National Championships, the Gryphons suffered a setback in London on Friday night in their opening game of the 2015 season, falling 10-6 to the Western Mustangs. The Gryphons have now lost each of their last four meetings with Western, with their last win over the Mustangs coming back in the 2013 season opener.
Last season, the Gryphons started the season with three straight losses (one via forfeit) before going on to once again be crowned champions of the Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association.
Friday night's game marked the first of 12 regular season games for the Gryphons who will open up the home portion of their schedule on Sunday, September 20 when they host the Laurier Golden Hawks.
