Leading the way for the Marauders in her final season, local product Maicee Sorensen (Hamilton, ON) made McMaster history Monday by becoming the program's first OUA West Player of the Year award winner.

With home court ahead of them for the remainder of their late winter playoff journey, the Marauders opened the OUA postseason with a bang Saturday, demolishing the Nipssing Lakers in three sets.

Hitting efficiently as a group, and enjoying a few well-timed service runs, the Marauders made quick work of the York Lions in an OUA quarter final Saturday.

Two possessions swung McMaster's tense OUA quarter final against Western Saturday, tipping the scales fatally in favour of the host Marauders.
