HAMILTON –
Darcie Brohman from Goderich, Ont., and
Matt Underwood of Hamilton, Ont., take home Marauder Athlete of the Week honours for their performances over the weekend.
Brohman, a 5-foot-11 forward on the McMaster field hockey team, was an offensive threat in the Marauders' 4-1 season opening win against the McGill Martlets. A first-year social sciences major, Brohman registered her first goal as a Marauder and added two assists. She recorded seven shots, five of which were on net, during the contest. A rookie Marauder, Brohman was the captain and MVP of her high school field hockey team and was a four-year member of Team Ontario Field Hockey.
Underwood, a 6'3 catcher on the Marauder baseball team, was key to McMaster earning three wins on their road trip the National Capital. On Saturday against the Ottawa Gee-Gees, the third-year commerce student recorded three hits in six at bats, including two singles and a double. The Hamilton local had one RBI and scored one run to earn a split with the Gee-Gees (11-4, 0-8). On Sunday, Underwood batted .500 when facing the Carleton Ravens, with a single and double, two RBIs and one run scored enroute to a 9-7 and 5-4 victory.
