Men's Volleyball: Marauders Open OUA Season with Straight Sets Win in Toronto

Nathan Delguidice and Andrew Richards posted matching totals of 14 points in the victory

The opening night of the OUA season saw a typically workmanlike performance from the Marauders, who made quick work of a visit to the Toronto Varsity Blues.

McMaster swept aside Toronto in straight sets 25-16, 25-21, 25-19 to get its title defence off to a convincing start Friday.

Making the most of his team high 26 touches on the night, right side Nathan Delguidice polished off 13 of them for kills and committed just four errors to lead the Marauders and the match with a sterling .346 hitting average in the win.

His decorated teammate Andrew Richards wasn't far behind, matching his point total of 14 while knocking down nine kills on 21 attempts versus two errors (.333) and adding three aces and two blocks.

Setter David Doty had a match high 26 assists, while libero Jordan Pereira also led the match with 12 digs.

While the Marauders were far from their best from the service line, with five aces versus 13 errors, the Blues were much worse on Friday, grabbing just one ace versus 16 errors.

NEXT UP: McMaster heads back on the road on Sunday, November 4 for a 3:00 p.m. encounter with the Lancers in Windsor.
