Launching into their final road trip of the regular season, the Marauders women's volleyball team got back to their winning ways Saturday.

McMaster bounced back from their upset loss in their last appearance to sweep the Nipissing Lakers 25-17, 26-24, 25-11 and improve to 14-2 atop the OUA West division.

Achieving a blistering 35 per cent hitting average as a group, the Marauders were led offensively by middle Hailey Kranics (Fort Erie, ON), who knocked down 10 kills on 15 attempts with just one error (.600), adding two and a half blocks for 12.5 points.

McMaster's top scorer in the win was outside hitter Aleks Arsovic (Burlington, ON), who caused havoc from the service line en route to six aces, while adding seven kills and a block assist for a match high 13.5 points.

In sharp contrast to the Marauders, the Lakers struggled mightily to create any offence Saturday, hitting a -.013 average on the day with 19 errors versus 18 kills as a group. The hosts earned just 26 points, while the Marauders created 54 of their own.
