Box Score The Waterloo women's basketball team wrapped up what was a whirlwind of a season on a winning note, defeating the Guelph Gryphons 86-73 on Saturday night. It was an impressive road victory for the black and gold and for first year head coach
Craig Nickel it was a fitting end to the season.
"I am extremely proud of how our girls went out and competed this season amongst all the distractions," said Nickel. "We came together as a group and competed game in and game out. Tonight was an exceptional way to go out for our graduating seniors and gives us high spirits as we prepare for next season."
Waterloo shot lights out in this contest, operating at 50.7% from the field, their best shooting game of the season by far. Waterloo was also very efficient from the free throw line, knocking down 14 of 17 attempts.
A trio of graduating seniors had stellar games to end their Warrior careers as
Kristen Osborne (Markham),
Jenel Ulman (Hamilton), and
Emily Wilk (Oakville) combined for 58 points.
Osbrone led the way with 22 going 8-for-15 from the field and a perfect 6-for-6 from the line. Ulman had 21 while Wilk put up 15. On the boards,
Sofie Persson (Lomma) was strong, collecting seven rebounds. Off the bench
Sydney Wilson (Guelph) was impactful with 10 points.
For Guelph it was Megan Brenkel leading the way with 18 points while Sarah Holmes had 15.
Waterloo can hold their heads high after going out with a bang and will no doubt be a team to watch next season in the OUA.
