MARAUDERS BEAT WARRIORS BY ONE ON THE ROAD

Waterloo, Ont. - The McMaster Marauders captured their fifth win in a row on Saturday over the Waterloo Warriors by a score of 24-23. 

McMaster found themselves with some points to make up, after giving up 13 unanswered points. Waterloo's Ben Vandenburg () would score the first try of the game for the Warriors and Zach Bogdon () would connect for the convert, as well as two penalty goals. 

But before the half was over, McMaster would find a way to get back within three with two tries, from Trevor Anderson (Toronto) and Cam Stones (Whitby, Ont.). The first half would end 13-10 in favour of the home team.

In the second, Andrew Ferguson (Mississauga, Ont.) would return to the lineup and make an impact, scoring a try and kicking for the extra two points to go up 17-13. The Marauders would extend their lead with Stones' second try of the day and Ferguson would make the convert 

Bogdon would then kick for another penalty goal and the ball would go between the posts to put the Warriors down by four. Following that, Warrior Ian Blackie would score a try but it wouldn't be enough for the home team to overtake the Marauders. 

McMaster looks to hold their second place standing in the league with a big game against the Western Mustangs. The game will be played at McMaster on the Back 10 Field at 2pm in their last regular season game.
