PREVIEW: Marauders host Badgers, look to earn berth to OUA semifinals

HAMILTON, Ont. - The No. 9 team in the nation, the McMaster Marauders, will face the Brock Badgers Saturday afternoon at Ron Joyce Stadium in an OUA quarterfinal match-up. This game will be a rematch of last weekend's regular season finale. It's 'win and you're in' season and the Marauders will look to book their ticket to next weekend's OUA semifinal in front of a home crowd this weekend.

The Marauders and Badgers have a history of keeping things close with the past two contests between the two decided by a combined 11 points.The maroon and grey have won the past two meetings with Brock and will look to extend that streak to three this weekend.

In what was McMaster's closest game of the season, the maroon and grey pieced together an incredible second half performance in last week's game to propel the Marauders to a 24-20 victory over the Badgers. Despite trailing after 40 minutes of play, the Marauders pushed for the lead in the second half, keeping it close. But it wasn't until the final minutes of play that the Marauders scored the go-ahead try to secure the win and home field advantage in the first round of playoffs.

With the regular season now in the past, the Marauders will need to lock in on this one game and come out on top. Everything is on the line on Saturday and Marauder and Badger fans alike should be in for a treat.
