MARAUDERS DEFEAT RAMS IN THREE ON THE ROAD

Box Score TORONTO - The No. 3 McMaster Marauders continued their win streak for the 2012-13 season with a win in straight sets versus the Ryerson Rams on Saturday afternoon. 

The Marauders asserted themselves quickly in the first set, jumping out to an 11-2 lead. In what seemed like a McMaster-dominated set, the Rams actually came out with more kills, but could not keep the ball in play to take a lead. The Marauders needed just 16 minutes to take the first set handily, 25-15.

Ryerson didn't seem fazed by the quick loss and built a four point lead at 11-7 after a Stefan Ristic (Belgrade, Serbia) kill. McMaster picked up their offence though, registering 11 kills in the remainder of the set (for a set total of 16) to climb back into it.

The teams traded points down the stretch and Ryerson held set point at 24-23 but Dany Demyanenko Jimenez (Toronto) earned back-to-back points on a block and kill from the middle to give the Marauders set point. A Jayson McCarthy (Oshawa, Ont.) block put an end to the exciting set to give McMaster a 28-26 win.

The Rams stuck with the Marauders throughout the third set but couldn't muster any significant point streaks to take a lead. Consecutive service errors from McMaster gave the Rams late life but they ultimately lost the set 25-22 to complete the Marauder sweep.

The Rams were led by Robert Wojcik (Whitby, Ont.) and Luka Milosevic (Toronto) who each finished with eight kills. After a tough start, middle Marc Reardon (London, Ont.) had a strong game with five kills and two blocks while being matched against one of the best up and coming players on the other side of the net.

For McMaster, Stephen Maar and Dany Demyanenko lead the way with 8 kills and 7 kills, respectively. Setter Austin Campion-Smith recorded 31 assists. 

McMaster takes on the Toronto Varsity Blues to complete their weekend road trip at 3pm.
