It was much of the same story in the third quarter as the Marauders kept a consistent effort posting another 20-point performance and holding Laurier to just 12. In the fourth, the Purple and Gold showed their true colours outplaying and outscoring their opponent, but it was too little too late.
Renata Adamczyk (Greensville, Ont.) finished with 19 points on the night. With those 19 points she now has 1,000 points in her career with the Golden Hawks. Anna Southall-Millward (Hamilton, Ont.) posted a career-high 11 points and six rebounds.
