Women's Basketball: Hot Start to 2018 Continues for Mac

The Marauders beat Brock 75-44 for their second consecutive win of the New Year.

The McMaster Marauders women's basketball team won their second game of the New Year in as many games when they took on the Brock Badgers at home Saturday afternoon.

By finding space in the offensive end, the Marauders shot 44 percent from the field to defeat the Badgers by a score of 75-44.

The two teams entered the game with mirrored records, as the 7-4 Marauders looked to further improve their standing in the OUA West Division, while the 4-7 Badgers were hoping to put an end to their three game losing skid.

In the first quarter, McMaster showed no hesitation to put their foot on the gas and they limited Brock to just four points.

Brock's biggest struggle over the course of the game was the inability to make the long-ball drop as they finished the game having gone 0-of-13 from three-point land.

McMaster, however, leaned on Julia Hanaka and Jelena Mamic for three-pointers, as they would combine to go four of seven from beyond the arc.

Mamic would be one of three Marauders players who tallied double-digit points on Saturday.

Going along with Mamic's 14 points, teammates Linnaea Harper would score 17, while Lexie Spadafora scored a team-leading 18 points in the victory.

Gristin Gallant led the Badgers in points having scored 14 off of four of ten from the field. Gallant would be dialled-in from the free throw line finishing the game shooting 75 percent.

Despite Gallant's performance from the foul line, the Badgers struggled as a team, only making 55.6 percent.

Meanwhile, the Marauders combined for 82 percent when shooting from the line.

With the victory, the Marauders improve their record to 8-4 while the Badgers drop their fourth straight and sit at 4-8 on the season.

Up next for McMaster is Waterloo, when they take to the road to face the struggling Warriors (1-10).

The game is scheduled for Wednesday, January 10 with tipoff scheduled for 6 p.m.

All of Marauders games can be streamed live on OUA.tv.
