Kacper Niburski & Christina Pugliese Assistant News Editor & The Silhouette Wall Street? Occupied. Las Vegas? Occupied. Toronto? Occupied. Hamilton? You bet.

Fraser Caldwell Sports Editor If the Marauders’ most recent matches demonstrate anything, it is that a single day can make a world of difference in sport. Facing two top-tier opponents in the opening weekend of their conference season, the Maroon and Grey put on a ruthless display to sweep the Windsor Lancers on Oct. […]
Fraser Caldwell Sports Editor If the Marauders were starved for competitive practice leading into their conference season, they received more than their fair share of it over the course of their opening weekend.
