The McMaster Marauders women’s volleyball team is set to take on the Waterloo Warriors at home on Nov. 27 at 1pm.
The match follows the Marauders home opener, which took place on Nov. 21. It will be the second game in the Burridge Gym for the women’s team this season.
In the home opener, McMaster took on the Brock Badgers, following a game on the road in St. Catharines.
Unfortunately, McMaster fell to Brock in each of the back-to-back games. However, the second place Marauders still sit just two points behind the first place Badgers in the OUA West Division.
McMaster’s upcoming game against Waterloo should be evenly matched, as each team currently sits 2-2 in the season.
Waterloo is in third place in the OUA West Division, riding closely behind the Marauders.
The match will be the only time that the Marauders will play the Warriors until the new year, when they will rematch in a two-game series in February, taking place first in Hamilton and then in Waterloo.
