Coming off of their first win of the season Friday, the Lancer women's hockey team dropped a 7-0 loss to the visiting Guelph Gryphons Saturday afternoon at South Windsor Arena.
Â
With the loss, the Lancers are now 0-6-1-1 on the season and continue to remain in last place in the OUA standings, while the Gryphons improve to 6-3-0-0.
Â
Although the Lancers came out hungry with a fast paced tempo, the Gryphons got on the board first when Karli Shell found the back of the net at 5:19 of the first period.
Â
The second period was all Guelph as they scored three unanswered goals to build a four goal lead. Kelly Gibbons and Marcie Landman opened the period with a pair of goals in the first two and a half minutes before Averi Nooren scored a shorthanded marker at 12:29
Â
The Lancers continued to put the pressure on in the third but had some trouble finding the back of the net. Guelph added three more goals in the period to take the win.
Â
The Lancers will hit the road next weekend for a pair of games against the Queen's Gaels and UOIT Ridgebacks.Â
