On a day when the Marauders flew out to a 30-0 lead at halftime, their celebrations were tempered by injuries to running back Jesse Lumsden and Kwame Aidoo in the second half. Both suffered knee sprains in the third quarter, and their status is uncertain
for next week's Yates Cup.

The win sets up a rematch with the first-place Laurier Golden Hawks in next Saturday's Yates Cup (1 p.m., The Score). Laurier beat Ottawa 46-7 Saturday. Because of their 34-33 loss to the Hawks in the regular season, McMaster will have to travel to Waterloo for the title game.
