HAMILTON, Ont. — The McMaster Marauders' golf teams are off to Windsor, Ont. on Friday to participate in the OUA Championships.

- Kavith Ranchagoda (Richmond Hill, Ont.): Ranchagoda got off to a hot start to his season, shooting a 70 at the Guelph Kickoff Tournament, which placed him tied for third. He also recorded another top-10 finish at the Brock Invitational.
Key McMaster Women's Golfers:
- Jimin Kim (Thornhill, Ont.): The second-year golfer, added to her strong rookie season with another consistent season. Kim who was a major bright spot for the Marauders last year, will look to continue her success at the OUA Championship.
