The Baggataway Cup was handed out over the weekend to the 2008 Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association champions, the Guelph Gryphons. This is the third time the Gryphons have earned the CUFLA title to tie with the Western Mustangs for second most cup wins. After a disappointing football season that came to an end a couple weekends ago in the OUA quarterfinals, this championship victory on the lacrosse field must have the Gryphons athletics in full on party mode. Although they didn’t face the seventeen time Baggataway Cup champion Brock Badgers this weekend, coming out on top in a tournament featuring the historically dominant school still adds an extra bit of pleasure. In fact, this was the first year that the Badgers were knocked out in the semi-finals; all previous twenty-three Cup finals featured the team from Brock. Brock was knocked out by the McGill Redmen 13-9 on Saturday while the Gryphons defeated the Trent Excalibur 12-7.
