Field hockey Gryphs edged by East-leading York
GUELPH – The Guelph Gryphons suffered a 2-1 loss to the York Lions in their OUA field hockey home opener Saturday at the Gryphon Soccer Complex.
The game was the first league match ever for the Gryphs at the soccer complex after playing previous on campus home games at Varsity Field and, in days long gone, at the grass field near the parking lot by soccer complex. The switch in home fields for the field hockey team was made necessary when a new turf field was put in Varsity Field in the spring and it would’ve slowed the game down too much.
