One mistake on the Lancers part was all it took for the Marauders to claim their first home victory of the season on Sunday. Ann Yeboah scored from the penalty spot in the 77th minute, and McMaster defeated Windsor 2-1 at Ron Joyce Stadium.

The Marauders (2-1-3) leapfrogged the Lancers into fourth place in the OUA West standings with the win. Although it was only their second victory of the season, Sunday's result marked the fourth-consecutive game in which the Marauders took away at least a point.

The afternoon match opened favourably for the hosts, as second-year midfielder Amanda Jones produced a classy finish to open the scoring in the 11th minute. A loose ball bounced to Jones at the edge of the area, and the midfielder unleashed a looping half-volley that found the far side of Windsor's goal.

The Lancers immediately set about the task of finding an equalizer, and accomplished just that in the 25th minute. A clearance fell to Becca Fuerth, and with the Marauders moving to close down, the Lancer midfielder drilled a low shot that Marauder goalkeeper Brittany Duffey could only slow.

Play slowed as the halftime whistle approached, and the break came without further incident.

The match appeared destined for a draw as the second wore on and neither team could craft a decisive chance. But when a Marauder breakthrough was brought to an end by a sloppy tackle, the referee pointed to the penalty spot, and forward Ann Yeboah coolly slotted the resulting spot kick home.

All that remained was to defend the advantage, and McMaster convincingly battened down the hatches in the final minutes to secure three points on their home field.

The Marauders will play the role of host again in just a few short days, as they welcome the Waterloo Warriors to Ron Joyce Stadium on Wednesday, September 18. That midweek contest will get underway at 5:00 p.m.
