Posted on Nov. 3: Marauders win OUA semi-final, next up Yates Cup

[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/OUA_semifinal_opt.jpg” caption=”OUA semi-final”]With a 55-15 win over the Windsor Lancers at Ivor Wynne Stadium on Saturday, the undefeated McMaster Marauders will advance to the Yates Cup Saturday, Nov. 8 against the Wilfrid Laurier Hawks.

In its debut at Ivor Wynne Stadium in front of a 5,154-crowd, McMaster accumulated 598 net yards on 345 yards rushing and 251 yards passing.

The game was moved to Hamilton's east end due to the battered field conditions at Les Prince Stadium caused by the high volume of rain over the past four weeks. McMaster has not played a game at Ivor Wynne Stadium since it was dedicated to former director of athletics Ivor Wynne in 1970.

McMaster is looking to win its fourth consecutive Yates Cup next weekend. The team will likely be ranked #1 in Canada this Tuesday as the first-ranked University of Saskatchewan Huskies fell in the Canada West semi-final to the University of Alberta 10-4.

The 105th Yates Cup will take place at Ivor Wynne Stadium at 1 p.m. Tickets are available beginning Tuesday at 12 p.m. at Copps Coliseum, the Hamilton Tigercat box office and the McMaster Compass Information Centre with no service fee. Tickets are also available on Ticketmaster by phone 905-527-7666, Ticketmaster online at www.ticketmaster.ca and all Ticketmaster locations. Normal services charges apply.
