MARAUDERS TAKE ON LANCERS IN FINAL REGULAR SEASON GAME

The McMaster Marauders women's volleyball takes on the Windsor Lancers at home in a rare single game Wednesday afternoon competition in Burridge Gym.
 
Currently sitting in second place in the OUA West Division, the Marauders have had a successful season so far, with seven wins and four losses on their record. In their last appearance on the court, McMaster was bested by the Guelph Gryphons in what would be Guelph's first win of the season.
 
After sweeping the Gryphons at home during the Black History Month game day event, Guelph came back with a vengeance, and the Marauders were defeated 3-0 on the road.
 
Despite coming off a loss, the Marauders impressive record currently puts them in a good position as they prepare for their last regular season game against the Lancers before OUA playoffs begin. With a win today, the Marauders lock up second seed in the OUA West Division with hosting rights on March 12th.

Specifically, the Marauders have shown repeated triumph at home, holding a 6-2 record with the Lancers in Hamilton. The maroon have the advantage coming up, with their next match against Windsor taking place in the Burridge Gym.
