WATERLOO, ON - There are several capable scorers on the Guelph Gryphons men's basketball team. And while the offensive weapons took a while to heat up, the Gryphons leaned on several of them Saturday night in Waterloo. Five Guelph players hit double digits led by Jack Beatty's team-high 21 points in a big 90-75 win over the Warriors at the PAC.

Beatty was on fire shooting the basketball, making 6 of 9 shots from the field, including 3 of 4 from long range and 6 of 7 from the free-throw line. The fifth-year guard from Woodstock also led the Gryphons on the glass, hauling in 7 rebounds.

Daniel Dooley (15 points and a game-high 4 steals), Drew Walford (14), Taylor Boers (13) and Jonathan Wallace (10) provided some secondary scoring as Guelph stepped up the pace in the second half to pull away from the Warriors. Waterloo led 41-39 after two quarters but the Gryphons out scored the hosts 51-34 the rest of the way, 14 coming from Beatty and 10 from Walford.

The game was surprisingly tight for much of the fourth quarter and when Jon Ravenhorst hit a jumper to get the Warriors within a point at 74-73 with 3:53 remaining, Guelph was in a dangerous spot. But the Gryphons manufactured an impressive 16-2 run to finish out the game, with Beatty accounting for 6 of those points.

The Gryphons bench scored 44 of the 90 points on the night.

Waterloo came out strong and built an early 9-0 lead. Guelph slowly chipped away and eventually took its first lead of the game at 6:45 of the third quarter on a Martin Popiel free throw. A Dooley three-pointer late in the third gave put the Gryphons up 63-58 heading into the fourth quarter, in which they erupted for 27 points.

Waterloo actually dominated on the boards, out rebounding Guelph 45-30. But the hosts, led by Ravenhorst's 23 points, committed 15 turnovers, shot just 37.5 per cent from the field and made 18 of 30 free throws (60 per cent).
