Friday Night McMaster won their second straight at home,
after topping Laurier 10-9 for the second time this season. Mark Phillips led
the Marauders, putting in five goals.
Laurier’s Brandon Petter would score the first of the game
at 3:45 to get Laurier on the board. McMaster would answer on the man up with a
goal from Kyle Lindsay after connecting with Iszkula. Phillips would put in
back to back goals in the first, but with a goal just over 18 minutes in from
Laurier, they would end the first tied at 3.
McMaster wouldn’t take the lead back until 15:40 in the
second quarter, but they managed to keep the lead for the duration of the game.
Phillips put in the last goal of the first half and started off a 4-goal streak
for the Marauders.
Keir Thornborow broke up McMaster’s 4-goal streak later in
the third; as the lone goal throughout the quarter for Laurier. The Golden
Hawks’ attempt to come back in the third wasn’t enough as Phillips put in his
fifth of the game for Mac’s 10th and final goal.
With the win over Laurier, the Marauders clinch their
playoff spot. Their last appearance in playoffs were last year, but lost in
their first game against Brock. McMaster’s last championship was in 2010 after
entering playoffs with a .500 record in the regular season. The Marauders host
Guelph Sunday in an afternoon match up at Alumni field for their last regular
season game.
