GUELPH, Ont. – Friday night (Jan. 31, 2025) at the Guelph Gryphons Athletics Centre, the Windsor Lancers defeated the Guelph Gryphons, 77-73, in a marquee matchup in OUA women's basketball. The Gryphons, ranked No. 10 in the latest national polls, started strong and took a 10-point lead into halftime. But the visiting Lancers would escape Guelph with the win, thanks in large part to a dominant 3rd quarter in which Windsor outscored Guelph 25-10. With the win, the Lancers improve to 14-4 on the season and move into top spot in the OUA West Division, while the Gryphons fall to 13-5 on the season. Friday night's matchup in Guelph also marked 'Senior Night' for the Gryphons, with a quartet of graduating seniors honoured after the game (Alexandra Urban, Lucy Tesseyman, Julia Colavecchia and Renee Armstrong). The seniors led the way for the Gryphons on the night, with Julia Colavecchia scoring a team-high 18 points (7-15 shooting), followed by Renee Armstrong (17 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals) and Lucy Tesseyman (16 points, 8-9 shooting).
 
The Gryphons (13-5) have four games remaining in their 2024-25 OUA regular season schedule, with the team returning to home court in the next game (Wednesday, Feb. 5) when the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks (8-9) visit Guelph. The Gryphons will then close out the season at Laurier (Feb. 8) and at Algoma (Feb. 14 & 15).
