Women’s Soccer
The reigning U SPORTS champion Guelph Gryphons open the new women’s hockey season as the top-ranked team in the nation for the first time in program history.
The Gryphons, who captured their first national title last March with a dramatic 1-0 win over the No. 2 McGill Martlets, went 3-3-0 in the preseason. They’ll drop the puck on the OUA campaign hosting Laurier and Waterloo this weekend.
In other U SPORTS rankings, Laval (women’s rugby), Cape Breton (men’s soccer), Ottawa (women’s soccer), Calgary (men’s cross country), Queen’s (women’s cross country), Western (football) and Alberta (men’s hockey) remain at No.1 for another week.
Top 10 rankings will conclude next week for women’s rugby.
