Warriors unable to build on quick start in loss to Marauders

Box Score Waterloo got off to a great start in Saturday's contest with McMaster but collapsed in the third quarter being outscored 28-12 giving the Marauders an easy path to the finish line as the home side emerged victorious 81-64...

Waterloo Guard Myles Charvis (Mississauga) had a strong opening quarter and the Warriors took advantage of a sluggish McMaster start to take a 17-11 lead after 10 minutes.

The Maroon started to push back against a very physical Warrior team to start the second stanza. The jump in defensive intensity saw the Marauders start to assume control and ignited by a big three-pointer from Trevon McNeil, they ended the quarter on an 11-2 run to take a 33-30 lead into the intermission.

Waterloo wanted to get back to what was working at the start of the game, but the third quarter was all McMaster as the Marauders kept up the pressure to win the period 28-12 and open a 61-42 margin heading to the final quarter.

The fourth quarter saw the Mac lead hover around the 20-point mark, and the closest the Warriors could get was within 16.

Leon Alexander was the top Marauder scorer with 17, followed by Taylor Black with 14 and both Rohan Boney and Joe Rocca with 10. Rocca scored all 10 of his points in the second-half to help the McMaster surge. Top shooter for Waterloo was Jaspreet Gill (Oliver) with 16.

McMaster made 47% of its shots, while Waterloo shot a cooler 38% from the floor. Enjoying a definite size advantage, the Marauders out-rebounded the Warriors 48-22.

Waterloo is back in action on Wednesday for their school day game at Laurier with tipoff set for 11am. A large crowd of over 2,000 elementary aged kids are expected at the match.
