Postseason positioning was still on the line on the final day of the Marauders regular season Friday, and they duly delivered a win to pave their way.

Their playoff position already secure, the Marauders put their depth on display Friday in their regular season closer at Burridge Gym.

A six-game winning streak saw the Marauders race into the OUA playoffs, but the magic wore off Wednesday as McMaster faced their first postseason hurdle in Waterloo.

Rebounding from a loss to the Western Mustangs in their opening match of the three-day OUA Championship tournament, the Marauders knocked off the Mustangs in Saturday's semifinal to secure a conference medal for a fourth straight year.

What seemed like a comfortable season-closing win for McMaster, as they looked ahead to Wednesday's playoff opener, suddenly turned anxious Saturday.
