Their energetic early flurry gave way to a Windsor Lancers comeback, and by the end of Wednesday's opening quarter, the lead -- and the momentum -- appeared to have left the McMaster Marauders behind.

But a positive second quarter regained McMaster the lead, and a second half deluge turned it into an unassailable one, as the Marauders ultimately dealt the Lancers a heavy, 106-82 defeat at Burridge Gym.

First-year guard Miles Seward found his game in the second half, pouring in all of his game high 21 points in the final 20 minutes, and finishing the night 50 per cent from the floor and 4-7 from three point range.

Finding their offensive touch as a group, McMaster's entire starting lineup reached double digits in scoring Wednesday, while shooting 51 per cent from the floor (31-61) as a group and 52 per cent from three (17-33)

The win improved the Marauders to 2-9 on the season, while the Lancers fell to 4-7 with the loss.

A remarkable change of fortunes saw McMaster outscore Windsor 88-63 after trailing their opponents by a single point at the end of the first quarter.

Reeling off a 15-4 run in the opening four minutes of the second quarter, the Marauders built a 10-point lead which would largely hold into the break, with McMaster holding a 45-36 advantage at halftime.

The gap only widened as the second half progressed, with Windsor's own regression matching McMaster's growth in confidence and verve, personified best by the free-shooting figure of Seward.

Extracurricular activities saw the Lancers earn a pair of technical fouls in the late stages, at which point the result was largely a matter of course.

NEXT UP: McMaster plays host to its 'Pack the House' event, as the Marauders welcome the Brock Badgers to Burridge Gym on Saturday, January 6. Tip off is scheduled for 3:00 p.m.
