If the rest of the men’s volleyball final four teams played ice during the Ontario University Athletics final games, then McMaster played fire. They swiftly melted the flame of the Ryerson Rams on March 10 and the Waterloo Warriors on March 11, sweeping both squads and securing their fifth consecutive OUA championship to cap an undefeated regular season.
The conference title win matches the longest streak in OUA history.
Although a close second set against Ryerson could have planted a seed of doubt amongst fans and players, the Marauders succeeded in qualifying for the championship match against Waterloo the next night.
Mac dominated Waterloo, though head coach Dave Preston was not surprised by the result.
“Our preparation for that match was top notch, one of the best we’ve ever had,” said Preston. “Watching them [practice], I even said, ‘Wow. They’re ready.’ ”

The championship tilt had a bit of intrigue as Waterloo took the Marauders to five sets during the regular season.
“They’re the only team in the OUA to do so,” said fifth-year middle Danny Demyanenko. “They’re a really good team. Definitely the most challenging team to deal with in the [conference].”
Waterloo showed that the five-set loss from earlier was no accident, jumping out to a four-point lead heading into the first technical. After the early stumble, the Maroon and Grey steadied and completed the sweep, 25-21, 25-11, 25-21.
"Big things are about to come. We're hoping for nothing but first."

“I think we started off a little slowly,” said fifth-year outside hitter Jayson McCarthy. “But once we got into the groove of the game, I think everyone really stepped it up and once we started executing everything we wanted to do it all came together.”
The faces of the team as the final point was added to the score board that night were indescribable. Pride and joy came cheering from the stands as the whole team rushed onto the court, celebrating that final point that won them the gold medal match of the OUA championship game. While conference championships are something to be proud of, the team hopes this isn’t the last banner they’ll claim this year. Mac flew out to Alberta to compete in the U Sports national championship taking place March 17-19 at the University of Alberta.
“We have to put this one [against Waterloo] behind us pretty quick because we have a pretty big task in front of us,” said Preston. “You’re in a national championship now. Everyone in this tournament has good a chance to win it. All the teams are there for a reason. So are we.”
Mac is seeded fifth at the tournament and face an uphill battle to claim the program’s first-ever national championship.
“Big things are about to come. We’re hoping for nothing but first,” said fifth-year setter Andrew Kocur. “Nothing but first.”
After defeating the Western Mustangs in five sets in the Ontario University Athletics championship, the McMaster women’s volleyball team will now head to the U Sports national championship from March 17-19, hosted by the Ryerson University.
As the winners of the OUA conference, Mac was rewarded with the number two seed in the tournament, and will play the Trinity Western Spartans in the opening quarterfinal match on March 17. The Spartans qualified for the tournament as the winner of the Canada West bronze medal match, defeating the University of British Columbia Okanagan in three sets.
“We are ready and excited to go [to nationals],” said fifth-year outside hitter Rebecca Steckle. “This is just the beginning of a hard, long road, but we are excited and it only gets better from here.”
Coming off of her Player of the Game performance, fourth-year outside hitter and OUA West First-Team All Star Joanna Jedrzejewska has expectations for herself and the team heading into nationals.
“I just want to show people around Canada that short people can do really well,” said Jedrzejewska, who stands at 5’7”. “I want to stand out, but at the same time I want to be a good influence on my team. I want to keep being a good team member. I don’t want to bring them down, I want to keep the positive energy and cohesion, and I just want to make my teammates better than when I found them.”
Even as the number two seed, their first matchup against Trinity Force will be tough. Coming from the Canada West conference, the Spartans have faced tough competition just to earn a spot at nationals. They are joined by the champions of the Canada West and the number one seeded Alberta Pandas, and by the third seeded University of British Columbia Thunderbirds. The Spartans have a history of success at the national tournament, finishing second in last year’s tournament and winning it all in 2015.
Nevertheless, the Marauders’ tough win over the Mustangs has fourth-year middle Maicee Sorensen ready for her and the rest of the team to give it their all come nationals.
“I have really high expectations for this team right now,” Sorensen said. “We want to get everything we can out of this season. We have been playing all year not to just get to nationals, but to actually do something with our national berth. We’re back now, we’re older and much more experienced, I really think we can do something with this talent.”
For the third time in school history, the McMaster women’s volleyball team are the champions of Ontario. This win may stand above the rest.
Mac put together an all-time performance, beating the Western University Mustangs 3-2 for their first Ontario University Athletics banner since 2014.
“There are a lot of emotions right now,” head coach Tim Louks said after the win. “Relief for sure. I think we treated everyone to something special tonight.”
The championship match had everyone in the Goldring Centre at the University of Toronto on the edge of their seats. Mac was able to closed out the fifth set in dramatic fashion. Having won the first two sets before dropping the last two, the Marauders won the match by putting together a three-point run, capping the win with an emphatic double block.
“It feels surreal,” said fifth-year outside hitter Rebecca Steckle. “We wanted it, and when you’re up two sets, you know that it just gets harder. Going into the fifth [set], we knew we had to play our best. It feels like the best thing, finishing off fifth year coming back and wanting it so bad and then getting it after a crazy match.”

The intensity both teams brought into the game was on display from the very beginning. For every kill the Marauders scored, the Mustangs countered with a block. For every run Mac went on, Western was able to claw back. Every set was competitive, with all but the second being decided by two points.
The Marauders hit the ground running in both of the first two sets, grabbing early leads to force Western timeouts. The Mustangs would rally, but Mac was in the driver’s seat, winning a 2-0 lead with a 28-26 and 25-18 wins in the first and second sets respectively.
“After those two sets at the beginning that we won, we were feeling confident,” said Jedrzejewska.
The third set brought in two major adjustments that would be crucial to the Mustang comeback. OUA West Rookie of the Year and outside hitter Melissa Langegger was largely replaced by middle Danielle Grasman and Veltman moved to the outside-hitter position.
Despite the moves, Mac held an early 16-10 advantage. Western found a new defensive gear following the technical, frustrating Mac hitters with blocks and digs. After trading points and some long rallies, Western managed to break free and win the set 27-25.
The fourth set saw the intensity hit a new level. Aleks Arsovic received a red card following a verbal altercation, and Mac struggled to pull away. Western closed out the ugly, error-ridden set 25-23, teeing up a fifth set for the OUA championship.
“When we have a lead, we have to get better at keeping that lead,” fourth-year middle Maicee Sorensen said. “Throughout this whole game, it felt like in every set where were up. Right at the time of the technical timeout, Western had either caught up or caught up right after the technical [timeout]. We have a really strong start, but we need to figure out how to finish that off.”
[Best_Wordpress_Gallery id="52" gal_title="Champ Vball 2"]
The final set of the OUA championship final was about as close as it could get. With both teams running on pure adrenaline at this point, it wasn’t until after the teams switched sides where Mac was able to create a larger lead. A crucial block by Mac’s Alicia Jack onto Veltman drew a timeout from the Mustangs, with the score 12-8 in Mac’s favor. With the score at 13-10, Jedrzejewska came up huge with a signature ace to bring Mac within one point of winning OUA gold.
Western faced a 13-10 deficit, but they rallied on the back of unforced Marauder errors to capture a 15-14 advantage. Backs against the wall, the Marauders pulled together instead of falling apart.
“I kept saying every time they got a point, I was fine, one more point, one more point,” Jedrzejewska said. “But the moment they had that point lead, it was a moment where you kind of doubt it, but you know that if you do doubt it, then you let them win. You have already defeated yourself, which is their goal. I was a little on the edge but I knew we were going to get it in the end. We’re strong out there, and we didn’t let them get to our heads.”
In that last point where Western took the lead, the Marauders suffered a heavy blow with rookie middle Kamila Haase, who had replaced Jack midway through the fifth set, going down with an apparent knee injury after going up for an attempted block.
The extra time in between points because of the unfortunate injury may have disrupted the Mustang momentum. With the game on the line and the ball in the hands of the OUA West Player of the Year, Veltman mishit the ball out of bounds, evening the score and giving the Marauders back the ball. It was the fourth serving error made by Veltman all night, and the biggest of 12 total serving errors made by the Mustangs throughout the match.
With Alicia Jack set to serve, all eyes were on the duo of Veltman and setter Tsiofas. Thanks to great blocking from Steckle, the Mustangs made yet another unforced error, and had the Marauders up 16-15, with a fifth chance of winning the match. Rather than going to Veltman on the pass, Tsiofas opted instead to go to outside hitter Aja Gyimah, who up to that point had registered 16 kills in the match.
But she could not come up with number 17, as both Sorensen and Arsovic soared to the net for the block. The Mustangs, who were outstanding at extending points throughout the match, had no chance to recover. The ball found its way to the floor, and McMaster found themselves OUA champions.
[Best_Wordpress_Gallery id="51" gal_title="Champ Vball 3"]
“I felt very proud after that fifth set,” Jedrzejewska said. “We had a lot of character coming from on and off the bench, so it’s good that everyone contributed. We were pushed to the brink and we kept out character. All year we struggled with finishing off games, and even when we struggled towards the end, we pushed through. I’m proud that we didn’t let them get to our heads. I’m exhausted, but happy that we got the win.”
The Marauders look ahead to the U Sports national championship as the second seed. Ryerson is hosting the tournament and Mac plays Trinity Western University in the quarterfinal on March 17 at noon.
In sports, experience tends to trump ability come playoff time. Luckily for maroon and grey fans, the McMaster women’s volleyball team has both.
A team filled with seniors who have seen it all, Mac is in a great position to qualify for the U Sports championships. Defined by their veteran leadership, the Marauder women know the value of playoff experience from previous campaigns, with their starting lineup consisting entirely of fourth and fifth-year players.
“Everyone was excited and was carrying a bit more adrenaline than usual,” said fourth-year middle Maicee Sorensen after their quarter-final game against York. “Having an experienced starting lineup allowed us to use the emotion to better our game.”
Entering the playoffs as the number two seed in the Ontario University Athletics playoffs, the Marauders started their path to nationals on March 4 with a three-set sweep over the York Lions. After dispatching York in the first set with ease, the Lions were able to make the second and third sets more competitive, but Mac held strong and closed out the match.
Mac's win against Ryerson sparked a six-game winning streak to close out the regular season, which propelled them past the Western Mustangs to capture first place in the OUA West division.
Winning in volleyball is easier when you can get uncontested points, which has been a strong suit of the women’s team this year. During the regular season, the Marauders ranked number one in the OUA in total aces (184), and rank second in the country in aces per set (2.63). It helps when the top two servers in the OUA – Sorensen and Joanna Jedrzejewska – are on your team. Sorensen led the way with six aces, while Jedrzejewska served five and Alicia Jack contributed four in the match. The Marauders ended the game with 20 total aces, compared to York’s four.
“We were at home in our own gym,” Sorensen said. “We took advantage of our serving capabilities and being home in Burridge Gym made us even more comfortable.”
A consistent presence in the middle during the season, Sorensen stymied York’s offence. Recording six of Mac’s eight blocks on the night, Sorensen’s play up front helped the Marauders disrupt any offensive flow the Lions attempted to muster up.
“We worked very hard this week prepping through video and studying York’s offensive tendencies,” Sorensen said. “Through film and discussions about each hitter, we were able to make small yet effective adjustments to better our block.”
Following their win against the Lions, the women have earned their spot to the OUA Final Four once again, and will travel to Toronto for a chance to qualify for the U Sports championship. Before giving a single thought about nationals however, Mac has its focus on the upcoming Final Four weekend, which kicks off with semifinal action against the U Sports championship hosts, the Ryerson Rams, on March 10.
“Headed into Final Four next weekend is something our team has been looking forward to all year,” Sorensen said. “We have high expectations for each other and we work hard trying to hold each other accountable. We know we have the capability to win, and that confidence is going to make a big mental difference next weekend.”
One win during the Final Four weekend will punch a ticket for Mac to the U Sports championship.
The Marauders faced the Rams once this season, and their four set win was defining for two reasons. First, it came off the heels of a loss to Toronto in a five-set thriller that saw Mac take the undefeated Blues to their limit. It also sparked a six-game winning streak to close out the season, which helped Mac surpass the Western Mustangs to capture first place in the OUA West division.
In the other semi-final, the Mustangs will face Toronto, who ranks as the top team in the country. The winners of each semifinal will face each other in the final on March 11, while the losers will battle it out in the consolation final.
Given that Ryerson are the hosts for the U Sports championships, the magic number for the Marauders is one. One win during the Final Four weekend will punch a ticket for Mac to the U Sports championship. If they happen to fall to the Rams in the semifinal, a win in the consolation final on March 11 will still qualify the Marauders for the national tournament. Of course, a semifinal win would give the Marauders a higher seed in the U Sports championships.
“We are more focused now than we have been all year,” Sorensen said. “It’s this focus and desire that we will thrive off as a whole in the tough moments coming soon.”
A tough schedule indeed, but nothing these veterans have not seen before.

The McMaster men’s volleyball team played thunder in the first game of the Ontario University Athletics playoffs.
Coming in as the number one seed in the OUA, expectations are high for the Marauders. In quarter-final action against Queen’s on March 4, the Mac men made quick work of their OUA rivals, sweeping the Gaels in three sets to advance to the OUA Final Four. With the win, McMaster is set to host the men’s volleyball OUA Final Four Championship on March 10-11.
“It’s good to get the ball rolling with a 3-0 win,” said third-year Andrew Richards. “For us it was just a matter of being able to show up when we had to and take care of business [since] we played them in our final regular season game a week ago.”
“I think today we probably didn’t play as well as we could have,” said head coach Dave Preston. “But I thought we played as well as we needed to and sometimes in the playoffs that just happens.”
Even though Mac did not play to their usual standards, the team were able to show off their depth and consistency, especially as the game progressed and the Marauders drew closer to victory.
“This moment is pretty big and we had a lot of guys play well,” Preston said. “The regular season went as well as we wanted it to and I think that showed when we brought some guys off the bench and they played well.”
The team played solid defence; they were ready for the attacks of the Gaels, solidifying that crucial McMaster wall at the net. But there are plenty of other areas the team will have to work on ahead of the Final Four.
“For us, we’re so confident in our defence we put ourselves in a position with our serving to defend,” Richards said. “But we will continue working on our serving. It’s an important piece of our game plan.”
As the OUA playoffs come to a close, the Marauders will be working hard to perfect the little details so that each game will be a true expression of their capability. But it’s not all about volleyball skill on the court.
“We work hard enough Monday to Friday. We’re always very confident in our skills,” Richards said. “I think our team can compete, but this year more than others I think we’re gelling really good as a team. It’s important to be able to connect with your guys when it counts.”
The Marauders will welcome the Guelph Grypons, Waterloo Warriors and Ryerson Rams to Burridge Gymnasium for the Final Four weekend. In semi-final action on March 10, Mac will face the 12-6 Rams, who the Marauders managed to sweep in three competitive sets, where each set was decided by six points or less. Ryerson will look to their five-set thriller against the Western Mustangs in the quarter-final as a marker for resilience and toughness for the final games in the OUA season.
Meanwhile, the other semi-final match will see the Gryphons take on the Warriors. Waterloo’s presence in the Final Four has come to a surprise for anyone outside the team itself. Entering the tournament with a 9-8 record, the Warriors managed to upset the York Lions, who won the OUA East division with a 15-3 record, in four sets on the road. With nothing to lose, they will make sure to bring the fight to the 12-5 Gryphons who took care of Nipissing in four sets.
The winners of each semi-final will automatically qualify for a spot at the U Sports Championships on March 17-19, which will take place at the University of Alberta. The winner of the OUA championship match on March 11 will go into the national tournament with a higher ranking and a more favourable path in the playoffs.
Team camaraderie amongst the McMaster men’s team, along with their flourishing volleyball competencies and the support of all those working behind the scene for the team calls for an intense playoff season. The success of the team can only be witnessed throughout the next few games.
In a match up that is becoming familiar to CIS sports fans, the men’s volleyball championship came down to the McMaster Marauders and the Laval Rouge et Or. And in a result all too familiar to McMaster sports fans, it would be the Rouge et Or that would prevail in the end.
The Marauders began the grueling schedule of three matches in three days Friday against the University of New Brunswick Varsity Reds. After a strong first set, UNB’s play would drop off and McMaster would prevail in a quick game 25-23, 25-17, 25-14. The 1-2-3 punch of Jori Mantha, Dany Demyanenko and Jayson McCarthy had their way with the Reds, scoring 15.5, 12.5, and 11 points, respectively.
Saturday brought rival Western, fresh off the upset of the tournament, ending Trinity Western’s two-year run as CIS champions in a five set shocker. The drained Mustang team put up a good fight, but in the end would also fall in three sets in an OUA final rematch, 25-23, 27-25, 25-21. McMaster’s key going into the game was no doubt to hold Justin Scapinello, who demolished the Trinity Western defense for 29 points, at bay. The Mac defense did just that, and McCarthy floored 17 points for the victory and final birth.
The loss for Western would send them to the bronze medal game, where they lost a come from behind, 5-set marathon to the Brandon Bobcats. While the medal awarded was bronze, the two teams played as if gold was on the line, with the second set going to its 36th point.
The championship game was surprisingly devoid of any team from the West, instead offering up a rematch of the men’s football final, this time on Laval’s turf. La Caverne was electric, with a notable contingent of McMaster fans braving the hostile crowd.
Early in the game Demyanenko made it clear that if McMaster was going to win the gold medal match, he would be the driving force. Throughout the evening, he showed off the full repertoire of his skills, with huge blocks, powerful smashes, and beautiful fake shots.
The first set was a back and forth affair. Laval was sloppy out of the gate, but it soon McMaster began having trouble getting the serve in bounds. This lasted all game, with numerous balls flying wide or catching net. Though the service errors on the day would end with near even totals between the teams, the Rouge et Or managed five aces to Mac’s zero, exacerbating the problem. McMaster rode its offense through the set, exploiting gaps in the Rough et Or coverage, while Laval relied on scrambles and errors on McMaster’s part for their scores. Laval would eventually take the first set 26-24.
The second set would be a reversal of the first, with McMaster’s defense coming up huge against a suddenly awake Laval offense. McMaster’s tallest would take the set 25-22, but would take a roundabout way of doing it, leaving numerous points on the board with errors.
The two teams went point for point in the third set. Each team seemed like they swung the momentum for good numerous times, only to have the opposition return the favour. In the end, McMaster would commit one too many attack errors, contributing to an ugly total of 21 on the day, and Laval would pull away 25-22.
Backs to the wall, it looked like McMaster may simply fade in the fourth set, quickly dropping to 7-11. They would stage a comeback, narrowing the gap 20-21, but lost several major points with blocks that landed just wide. Laval pulled away again, bringing up the match point at 24-21. McMaster appeared to have scored their 22nd point to regain some life, but a referee’s decision gave Laval the score and the victory.
As the rowdy Rouge et Or crowd mobbed the new heroes, McMaster was left to examine where it went wrong for them with “We are the Champions” and vuvuzela ringing in their ears. Demyanenko would finish with 19.5 points on the day leading all players. Though McMaster was snubbed for the CIS All-Star team, both setter Austin Campion-Smith and Demyanenko were tournament all-stars.
In the end, it was no doubt the experience of Laval, with leading scorer Frederic Mondou and captain Justin Bourdleault both playing their final games, that pushed them over the top, as they were the more technically sound team. While the win is an end of the era in Laval, with rookies Demyanenko, McCarthy, Daniel Groenveld all on the court for McMaster in the loss and Stephen Maar contributing during the season, it is the dawn of a new one for the Marauders.

In some ways, the McMaster men’s volleyball team’s journey to Canadian university volleyball glory is drawing to its epic conclusion. In other ways, the real battle is just beginning. After a doling out a measure of revenge to the York Lions team that ruined their perfect season, the men dismantled Western to take their fourth OUA title in six years. They now stand three wins from their first CIS volleyball title since 2007.
Friday’s straight-set win over York showed the volleyball world that the Maroon’s stunning season-ending loss to the same was a fluke. From the very beginning, McMaster dominated play, dropping the Lions 25-17, 25-15, 25-20. Ray Szeto, who two weeks ago picked the Marauder defense apart, was limited to a mere six points and ended the day with more errors than scores. In a bit of foreshadowing, Jayson McCarthy let his return from injury be known with five aces, and Jori Mantha lead the team with sixteen points. The domination was so thorough that Mac did not make a single substitution all game.
Saturday brought a more formidable adversary to Burridge in the Western Mustangs. While the game was close as one would expect a championship game to be, it was remarkably sloppy, with the teams combining for more than a hundred errors. The final was a four set war going to the home side 25-27, 26-24, 32-20, 25-20. Both teams also hit double-digit ace totals, with McCarthy again serving up five untouchable balls. On a day when it was hard to find any of Mac’s big offensive guns not firing, one stood out above the rest. Mantha chose the right game to put up a team and personal season high 28 points. Dany Demyanenko was another key contributor to the barrage with 15 points of his own.
The team has little time to celebrate however. Since they’ve been billed as one of Canada’s best since the beginning of the season, the OUA crown was all but expected of them. For the first time all season, they enter a set of games not as the favourites, receiving the number three rank in Quebec. The Brandon Bobcats, against whom McMaster’s tallest split a two-game preseason series, draw the number one seed. The Trinity Western Titans, two-time CIS defending champions who actually managed a better record than Brandon only to fall in the Western final, are ranked number two. Rounding out the eight-team field are Alberta, Laval, UNB, Western, and Montreal.
The Maroon begin their title search at 12:30 p.m. on March 1 against the number-six ranked University of New Brunswick Reds. The semifinals run the evening of March 2, and the final game is 4:30 p.m. on March 3. All games are offered free on the CIS TV website.

The McMaster Women’s Volleyball season came to an abrupt and upsetting end on Feb. 16, as the team played their final game against Ryerson with the Rams home court advantage proving to be an important factor in the Marauders painful defeat.
The Marauders opened the first set on a strong note take an early 5-3 lead as Lauren Scully’s left side block found the floor on the Rams side. The hosting Ryerson Rams would soon find their rhythm and power back to take the lead 9-8. McMaster regained a slim 16-15 lead heading into the technical timeout after McMaster’s Kailee Stock caught the Rams off guard with a deep roll shot. The Marauders would then force a Ryerson timeout as the score sat with the Marauders leading 19-17.
The Marauders found themselves looking strong as a win in the first set was in their reach. The Rams trailed 22-20 before finding consecutive momentum to reel off four consecutive points bringing them back in the game. After a few minor errors from the Marauders the Rams found them selves victorious in the first set with a final score of 25-23.
McMaster’s passing proved to be problematic early in the second set allowing Ryerson to claim five of first six points. McMaster would soon climb back tying the set at 14 a-piece when Shannon McRobert tipped the free ball to the floor.
The Marauders would only gain further momentum coming out the technical timeout as Lauren Mastroluisi’s two aces helped the Marauders gain a 20-16 lead over the Rams. The Marauders continued a consecutive six point run giving them a comfortable lead as the second set drew to a close. Amanda Weldon would then end the set with an ace at the line giving the Marauders the second set with a score of 25-18 and tying the game at 1-1.
McMaster proved to be the sharper team early in the third set, taking an 8-3 lead after some failed attempts to stay in bounds by the Rams. The Marauders front court took over and consecutive aces from Taylor Brisebois gave McMaster a much needed eight-point advantage. McMaster would only stretch their lead into the double digits leaving the Rams frustrated. Ryerson came close reducing the lead to just seven points, but Amanda Weldon would put their chances of a win to rest as she seized an attacking opportunity allowing the Marauders to take the third set 25-16.
With the Rams season in the balance they knew they had to win the set and maintain their composure for the duration of the game. The Rams were able to pull through and come sailing back early in the fourth set. They took a strong 7-2 lead after Mastroluisi’s attempt from the left side rolled just long. Ryerson maintained the upper hand as the teams headed into the technical timeout. The Marauders would shortly power back bringing the score within reach at 20-16 forcing the Rams to call a timeout. Ryerson responded well after the break ending a marathon rally and bringing the score now to 22-18. The Marauders would not be able to power back with enough strength to finish off the Rams as Ryerson would take the fourth set 25-20 bringing the game to a tie.
A fifth set would prove to be the deciding factor of the game and the Marauders future this season.
The hosting Rams took the lead to open the final set with a score of 4-1 before McMaster called a timeout. The Rams would power on carrying a four point lead into the changeover. The lead would only increase for the hosting squad standing at 14-9. An ace would prove to be the deciding factor for the Rams as they came out victorious in the final set, reserving their place in the OUA Final Four.
Despite an early take over from the Marauders, Ryerson was able to find its range and maintain a strong defense throughout securing their comeback and their win in the OUA Quarterfinal match.
Fifth year Marauder Shannon McRobert, playing in her last game for McMaster put up 17 points in the match and converted 12 of her 30 hitting attempts. Kierstyn Bakker added 14 points on 12 of 36 hitting attempts and had a team leading total of 18 digs.
The result moves Ryerson into next weekends OUA Final Four, while the Marauders season came to an abrupt end.
Congratulations go out to the coaches and players of the McMaster Women’s Volleyball team as they conclude their 2012/2013 season.
