While it was not the colour that Ahmed Shamiya wanted, his silver medal at the U SPORTS Championships in Winnipeg remained the top result for the Marauders, who successfully defended their national silver for a second time Saturday.
 
Shamiya, who won silver at home over the course of the OUA Championships earlier in February, began his journey at 76kg brightly with a pair of wins over Calgary’s John Fayed and Regina’s Brett Kryger.
 
Unfortunately, his latest battle with rival Tyler Rowe ended similarly to that of weeks ago, with the Badger getting the best of Shamiya to do the double at his expense.
 
Despite his own disappointment, Shamiya’s silver was instrumental in pushing the Mac men to a total of 37 rankings points, edging the Alberta Golden Bears by just two for the group silver.
