Waterloo dropped their fourth straight game to open up 2013 with a hard fought 2-1 loss to the visiting Guelph Gryphons on Sunday at Warrior field.  Jared Agyemang scored both goals including the winner in the 86^th minute to improve Guelph's record to 2-1-1 on the season.

Waterloo opened the scoring in the 26^th minute on a highlight reel goal by fourth year midfielder Jesse Bean (Waterloo/).  Bean's individual effort was capped off with a tremendous strike to the top right corner past Gryphon keeper Niklas Wetterling. 

Waterloo looked to jump out to a 2-0 lead on a beautiful ball by Kian Gordanifar (Mississauga/) to Mohamed Aborig (Tripoli/) but the solid Aborig strike was turned aside by Wetterling to keep it a one goal advantage.

Guelph would find the equalizer in the 39^th minute as Agyemang would take advantage of a Warrior mix up in the box putting it past Waterloo's starting keeper Thomas Modjesch (Hateg/).  Modjesch was busy in the half making eight saves but would be forced to leave the game with an injury passing the goalie duties off to Adam Weller (Keswick/).

Weller performed admirably in relief of Modjesch but could not stop Agyemang who ripped an unstoppable shot late in the game to sink the Warriors.

The Warriors will look for their first win of the season next weekend on the road when they travel to Oshawa to face UOIT.
