By: Alex Florescu Midterm season is upon us, school has begun to pick up and I’m starting to feel the stress. Last Friday was no exception.

Heading into the annual Thanksgiving tournament, the Marauders women’s volleyball team was an unknown quantity. After finishing second to Toronto without some key contributors, it is clear the Marauders will be a competitive team regardless of who is able to suit up. The opening game against Royal Military College saw some miscommunication among players, but their […]
The championship window for McMaster’s women’s rugby team has rarely been more open. The No. 2 ranked Marauder squad is set to host the 2-3 Western Mustangs in the OUA semifinals on Oct. 19.

The Marauders men’s volleyball team took the long trip to Ohio State University, where they played two exhibition games against the Buckeyes. The team came back to Hamilton with more experience under their sleeves, having lost both of the games in very different ways. McMaster lost the first game in three sets. They managed to […]
They braved headwinds, traffic, and last-minute Thanksgiving grocery shoppers.
