This meant the game would be decided in penalty kicks. It was a tense time as each player faced the opponents goalie. All five of the Gryphon PK's made it past the keeper while only 4 Shortridge attempts made it past Keeper Arjun Bhattal, giving our Gryphons a well deserved win.
Grade 7 & 8 Volleyball vs Orchard School - Win (25-23, 18-25, 15-10) - Great game! The Gyphons were up to the challenge. They have improved in their passing to each other. They are connecting as a team and it showed in their playing.
