Marauders to battle Queen’s in record-breaking game

[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/Jesse-Lumsden.jpg” caption=”Marauder Jesse Lumsden”]This Saturday, the McMaster Marauders will face the Queen's Golden Gaels in what could be the final game played at Les Prince Field.

The 2 p.m. game, which will be broadcast nationally on The Score, is receiving extra publicity because of McMaster running back Jesse Lumsden's rush to the record books.

Lumsden has 1,401 yards rushing on 125 carries (11.2 yds/carry, 233.5
yds/game) and 15 touchdowns this season. With 11 yards rushing, the running back will break former Waterloo standout (1997-2001) and current Edmonton Eskimo, Mike Bradley's career OUA rushing record of 3,733 yards (1997-2001). With one more touchdown, Lumsden will also break Bradley's CIS career touchdown record of 41. The big record everyone is watching is the single-season CIS rushing record, currently held by Eric Lapointe of the Montreal Alouettes. Set in
1996 with Mt. Allison (1996), Lumsden is 219 yards away from staking claim to the record.

The game will be broadcast live on The Score Television Network. The game will also be carried live on radio on CFMU 93.3 FM in Hamilton and at http://cfmu.mcmaster.ca. CFRC 101.9 will carry the game live in Kingston on on the internet at http://www.cfrc.ca/.
