OSHAWA—The Guelph Gryphons are repeat winners of the Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association championship as they handed the McGill Redmen their first setback of the season Sunday afternoon in the Baggataway Cup final at Oshawa Civic Stadium.

The Gryphs built an eight-goal lead in the first half, then cruised to the win. McGill made the score close at the end by scoring the final eight goals of the game.

Guelph led 5-1 at the end of the first quarter, 10-2 at halftime, 12-4 after the third quarter and 15-5 with nine minutes to play.

Jordan Critch had three goals and seven assists for the Gryphs while Ryan Serville had five goals and an assist. Mike Burke picked up two goals and three assists while Curtis Knight had a hat trick and Brett Ulbikas and Liam Corbett added single goals.

Michael Lalni was the winning netminder.

The Gryphs followed the same path as they had last year when they captured the Baggataway Cup by winning a quarter-final match on the first day of the tournament, a semifinal on the second day and the final on the third day.

At this year's tournament, the Gryphs defeated the Bishop's Gaiters a13-9 in Friday's quarter-finals and the Brock Badgers 13-12 in Saturday's semifinals.

McGill advanced to the final with a 15-6 win over the Western Mustangs in the other semifinal. The Redmen had a bye in the quarter-finals.

The Gryphs finished third in the West Division standings at 8-4, although two of the losses were forfeits due to a school-imposed suspension incurred after last year's championship win.

The Redmen won all 12 of their regular-season games to finish atop the East Division.
