Gryphon hockey women edged by Queen’s in shootout
GUELPH – After rallying from a two-goal deficit, including sending the game into overtime with a shorthanded goal with 56 seconds to go in regulation time, the Guelph Gryphons dropped a 4-3 decision to the Queen’s Gaels in a shootout in OUA women’s hockey play Saturday at the Gryphon Centre.
The Gryphs had scored first in the game, Maeve Sutherland-Case netting the goal while Chihiro Suzuki and Meaghan Chittick assisting on the play, but Queen’s tied it before the end of the first period.
Queen’s Gaels 4 Guelph Gryphons 3 (SO)
A pair of goals 42 seconds apart before the third period was eight minutes old gave Queen’s a 3-1 lead.
Vanessa Bueti got one of those goals back for the Gryphs 22 seconds after Queen’s had grabbed its two-goal advantage. Sutherland-Case and Maya Graham assisted on Bueti’s goal.
Hannah Tait’s unassisted shorthanded goal in the final minute of regulation time forced an overtime period that went its full seven minutes without another goal being scored.
Emma Michalicka, Emma McKnight and Logan Biggs had a goal apiece for Queen’s in regulation time while assists went to Biggs, Michalicka and Alicia Juras.
The Gryphs outshot the Gaels 36-32 and neither team scored on its power play, Guelph having three power plays and Queen’s getting four.
Kathryn Raymond had 29 saves for the Gryphs and Vanessa Campeau had 33 for Queen’s.
While the loss put an end to a three-game winning streak for the Gryphs, they haven’t lost in regulation time for five games, a streak that started with a loss in overtime to the Brock Badgers and continued with wins over Queen’s, the Ontario Tech Ridgebacks and the Western Mustangs.
The Gryphs are second in the West Division at 3-1-1-1 while Queen’s is fourth in the East Division at 3-2-0-1.
The Gryphs are to host the Windsor Lancers (third in West at 3-2-1-0) Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Gryphon Centre.
