Bechard Among League Leaders

Burke Bechard of Dover Centre is having a spectacular rookie season with the Guelph Gryphons women’s basketball team.

Bechard is leading the University of Guelph in scoring, and currently sits tied for 13th in OUA scoring averaging 12.7 points per game.

She also sits near Provincial leaders in steals with 39, rebounds with 5.9 per game, assists with 32 and several other statistical categories.

Bechard, a graduate of Chatham-Kent Secondary School, and alumni of the London Ramblers, missed multiple high school seasons due to knee injuries, but has shown that her acclaim heading into this season was valid, as she’s lived up to and exceeded expectations as a rookie.
