The offence flowed freely for McMaster Saturday, as the Marauders put a firm stamp on their OUA quarterfinal before advancing to the next stage.

Mac scored a whopping total of 10 tries in a 68-14 drubbing of the Brock Badgers on their last home game day of 2017.

Having secured a spot in the conference semi-finals, the Marauders will now hit the road to rematch the Guelph Gryphons on Friday, who out-duelled them in a tightly-contested 21-15 game in the regular season.

In addition to a pair of penalty tries, the duo of Mitch Richardson and Jamie McNaughton each had a pair, while Liam Pendakis, Jack McRogers, Max Pinkerton and Will Kelly added one each.

Kelly added seven converts for a total of 19 points.

McMaster will look to avenge their loss at the semi-final stage in Guelph a season ago, after which they recovered to win OUA bronze.

Friday's semi-final match is scheduled for a 7:00 p.m. kickoff.
