GRYPHONS DEAL MARAUDERS THEIR FIRST LOSS OF 2014

The Guelph Gryphons remain the only team to score against the Marauders this season. The only problem? They scored twice on Saturday, dealing McMaster its first loss of the season, 2-1 in Guelph.

Jared Agyemang and Stephen Veenema had the goals for Guelph (6-1-2), who overtook McMaster (5-1-2) for second in the OUA West standings with the result.

Mark Reilly had his team-leading sixth goal of the season for the Marauders (5-1-2) in a losing effort.

The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for the Marauders, which included a stretch of 485 shutout minutes shared between goalkeepers Angelo Cavalluzzo and Kieran Doyle-Davis.

Agyemang was quick to put an end to that streak, striking for the game's first goal in just the sixth minute.

The 1-0 score held until the half, but Guelph added a second in the 61st minute, when the defender Veenema potted his first goal of the season.

Reilly ensured a tense ending to Saturday's match, scoring in the 77th minute to draw his team to within a goal. But it was too little, too late for McMaster, as the CIS no. 8-ranked Marauders saw their divisional rivals snatch all three points on the day.

The Marauders will look to bounce back quickly in a day's time, as they return to Ron Joyce Stadium to wrap up Homecoming weekend against the Waterloo Warriors. That match will get underway at 3:15 p.m., followng the conclusion of the preceding women's match.
