WSCR RECAP: Olivia Rizakos Scores Twice for Playoff-Bound Gryphons in 2-0 Win Over Algoma in Regular Season Finale

GUELPH, Ont. - The playoff-bound Gryphons women's soccer team capped off their 2023 OUA regular season schedule on Saturday afternoon (Oct. 21) with a 2-0 win over the Algoma Thunderbirds in the final game of their 12-game regular season. Olivia Rizakos scored twice for the Gryphons, with the Toronto native opening the scoring in the 7th minute, before finding the back of the net again in the 49th minute, to help the Gryphons secure three points over the Thunderbirds. With the win, the Gryphons finish the regular season with a record of 8-2-2. The Gryphons are still alive for a first-round bye in the OUA playoffs, with the top two seeds in the OUA West Division earning a bye through the preliminary round and through to the OUA quarterfinals. The Western Mustangs (9-1-1) currently sit 1st in the OUA West with 28 points, with McMaster (8-1-2) and Guelph (8-2-2) close behind with 26 points each. The Gryphons will keep a close eye on the Mustangs and Marauders season finale matchup Sunday in London, as playoff seeding in the OUA West will be confirmed by the end of day Sunday, with the potential for Guelph and McMaster to come down to a tiebreaker for who gets the right to the No. 2-seed and an opening round bye. 

The 2023 OUA women's soccer playoffs will begin on Wednesday, October 25 with the preliminary round, followed by the OUA quarterfinals on Saturday, October 28.
