Box Score They continue to inch up the national rankings, buoyed by imperious early form to open the OUA season, and Friday saw more of the same from the Marauders on home court. McMaster's established starters looked comfortable in dispatching the Brock Badgers in three sets at the Burridge Gym, as the no. 4-ranked team in Canada improved to 6-0.
 
Set scores were 25-16, 25-23 and 25-14 for the Marauders, who have won 18 of their 20 sets played thus far in the regular season.
 
Fourth-year outside Joanna Jedrzejewska continued to be the offensive engine for the Marauders Friday, notching a match high of 15 points including 13 kills on 31 attempts versus three errors (.323). She added two aces and had nine digs on the defensive side of the ball.
 
Teammates Rebecca Steckle and Aleks Arsovic also cracked double digits with 11.5 and 10 points respectively, while middle Jill Eisenhauer was the model of efficiency with seven kills on 12 attempts and no errors, while adding an ace and a block and a half.
 
Despite being subbed out for a stretch of the second set, Caitlin Genovy created plenty of offence in the win, with 36 assists across three sets.
 
McMaster stifled Brock's offence for much of the contest, holding the Badgers to just eight per cent hitting as a team. In that environment, the duo of Maddie Brown and Laura Condotta were Brock's relative bright spots, leading the team with seven and six kills, and seven and a half and seven points, respectively.
 
The lone point of contention came in the second set, where the Marauders led by as many as 10 points before a spirited comeback from the Badgers. A wayward attack from Alanna Norris gave Mac a 20-10 advantage, but Brock rebounded to win 12 of the next 15 points and pull within a point after an attacking error from Aleks Arsovic.
 
To their credit, the hosts buckled down to win two of the next three, and clinched the set on a massive kill from Jedrzejewska that ignited the Burridge Gym crowd.
 
McMaster returns to action in a week's time, when they play host to the Waterloo Warriors on Friday, November 25. That match will get underway at 6:00 p.m.
