MARAUDERS BLANK WARRIORS, 2-0

Hamilton, Ont. - The McMaster women's soccer team continues to impress with their fourth win in a row. The Marauders took down the Waterloo Warriors on Friday night, 2-0.

In a scoreless first half, the Marauders dominated ball possession but couldn't find the back of the net.

In the second, the ball rarely crossed into McMaster's half as goal keeper Brittany Duffey (Markham, Ont.) went mostly untested throughout the match. 

Around the 60th minute, McMaster would get a great chance from forward Natalie Brace (Warwickshire, England) from just outside the 18-yard box. On the free kick attempt, the exchange student would just miss the top right corner.

As play continued, the Marauders kept pushing for the first goal of the match. It finally came on a corner kick. McMaster midfielder Mel Van Der Hoop (Oakville, Ont.) connected with a Waterloo Warrior and the away team would score on themselves. Van Der Hoop would get accredited with the goal in the 77th minute.

Ten minutes after, as the match was wrapping up, Brace would be in perfect position of a cross from Julia Maiolino (North York, Ont.) and would put one in the back of the net, sealing McMaster's eighth win of the 2011 season.

The Marauders currently sit in second place in the West, just one point ahead of the Windsor Lancers. McMaster travels to Laurier to take on the Golden Hawks on Sunday in their last game of the regular season.
