Clinching a four-point final weekend to cap the OUA regular season, the Marauders sealed a home playoff date at Ron Joyce Stadium in style Sunday.

The team hosted the Brock Badgers at Ron Joyce Stadium and rode a three-goal opening half to a 5-1 victory, finishing fourth in the OUA West division standings with a 5-3-6 record.

With the result, the Marauders will host the Western Mustangs in an OUA first round matchup at Ron Joyce Stadium on Wednesday, October 23.

Joseph Guindy collected two of the five Marauders goals on the afternoon, including the winner in the 17^th minute.

The hosts directed 13 shots towards the Badgers net, with eight of them finding the target.

Brock opened the scoring in the 13^th minute when Jordan Smalling handcuffed McMaster goalkeeper Tristan Joyce with an awkwardly placed shot and snuck his shot past him.

Conceding early seemed to galvanize the Marauders, as they quickly scored goals in the 16^th and 17^th minutes from Antonio Sereno and Guindy to take the lead.

Just before the halftime whistle, Yordan Stoyanov collected a rebound from the Brock goalkeeper and put it into the open net for a 3-0 lead.

McMaster continued to pressure as the second half began, with Justin Wood and Guindy extending the lead for the home squad to 5-1 with goals in the 49^th and 52^nd minutes to put the result beyond doubt.
