Box Score A day after suffering their first loss of 2017, the Marauders turned on the style to emphatically re-enter the win column at home.

McMaster scored early and often Sunday, in a 4-1 rout of the Windsor Lancers at Ron Joyce Stadium.

Coming into the match in the second half, Dusan Kovacevic struck twice in the win, while Yordan Stoyanov and Yunus Mollayev added first-half goals.

Rookie goalkeeper Tristan Joyce notched his second win of the season, making one save.

The visitors' lone goal came via Kyle Ruggaber.

Inside the opening 20 minutes, the Marauders found their opening, with Stoyanov bobbling his initial opportunity before recovering to steal the ball from his marker and bundle past the keeper to give Mac a 1-0 lead in the 17th minute.

Just a minute later, however, the Lancers capitalized on a relaxed Marauders group to peg the hosts back, as Ruggaber was released through the middle and fired low and past the onrushing Joyce to level the score in the 18th.

Just before the break, the Marauders retook the lead, when Anand Sergeant tagged the post but saw his rebound bounce to Mollayev, who calmly tapped into the open side netting in the 43rd minute.

A raft of new faces entered the match in the second half, and none was as influential as Kovacevic, who provided two moments of offensive class to truly bury the visitors.

With Matt Monteiro playing him into space with the through ball in the 63rd, Kovacevic looked up and coolly chipped the keeper for his first goal of the afternoon to give his team the 3-1 lead.

He was back at it again in the 78th, with rookie Nikola Brtan this time providing the well-weighted ball that unlocked Kovacevic through the middle. The striker ran onto the pass and bunted a quick touch past the onrushing keeper, slotting into the empty net to complete the move.

NEXT UP: The Marauders travel to North York to battle their traditional OUA West rivals, the York Lions, on Thursday, September 7. That game is slated to kick off at 8:15 p.m.
