Sabercats win in Guelph; Steelers fall in Oshawa

GUELPH -- The Sault Sabercats have become the Ontario Varsity Football League's comeback kids.

For the third consecutive contest, the Sabercats rallied late in the game to pull away with 32-22 win over the Guelph Bears here at Alumni Stadium on the University of Guelph campus on Saturday afternoon.

The win moves the club a step closer to qualifying for the OVFL playoffs for the first time in the team's three year history. The victory also increases the Sabercats chances of hosting a playoff contest.
