Hawks fall to Marauders (stats)

HAMILTON, Ont. – The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks saw their 22-point lead slip away as the McMaster Marauders (2-0) scored 26 points in the second half beating Laurier (0-2) 26-24 in front of 5,630 fans at Ron Joyce Stadium.

Running back Anton Bennett (Toronto, Ont.) had an opportunity to put the Hawks ahead with only 25-seconds left in the game but fumbled the ball attempting to cross the goal line. The sophomore carried 16 times for 53 yards throughout the day as the team’s leading rusher.

“I’m proud of our football team, we played right until the last second against the wind. We had to move the football and we did and we deserved better,” commented manager of football operations and head coach Gary Jeffries post-game. “This game is behind us, there’s lots of football left. We’ll go right back to the drawing board and keep working hard. We grew up a lot today.”

Up 24-0 at one point, #10 nationally ranked McMaster scored three touchdowns and picked up a safety to steal the lead away from the purple-and-gold before the Hawks created the drive that came just short.

Quarterback Evan Pawliuk (Kingston, Ont.) took the helm of the offence this week and finished the game completing 21 of his 37 attempts for 279 yards. Pawliuk led the Hawks to the goal line standoff late in the game on a 13-play 85-yard drive. Dillon Heap (Waterloo, Ont.) was the preferred receiver through the contest, picking up 96 yards on six catches including the only offensive major on the day on a 33-yard reception.

“It’s part of the defence, when there is a minute left they go into prevent. It’s our character, like last year against Ottawa we had to make a final drive down the field and we did it. That’s what the Hawks do,” said Heap on the final Golden Hawk drive. “I don’t really know why we stalled in the second half, we’ll have to take a look at the film.”

The win for the Marauders is the first against the Hawks since November 8th, 2003 when Laurier fell in the Yates Cup 41-17 at Ivor Wynne Stadium.

The Golden Hawk defence had a solid first half only allowing 65 yards on 30 plays while the offence was able to capitalize with 211 on 31 plays. As the game progressed, the Marauders were able to adjust putting up 329 yards of offence to Laurier’s 146. The majority of those yards came from Marauder pivot Kyle Quinlan who passed for 264 yards in the second half.

“They made a couple adjustments at half and they took us out of our Blitz package which played a big part in their success in the second,” said Hawks defensive back Giancarlo Rapanaro (Niagara Falls, Ont.) who picked up a fumble from Quinlan and ran it 60 yards into the endzone for the second purple-and-gold touchdown. “We played real well, with some exceptions. There are still things we need to fix, we’re not perfect yet, but we’ll get there.”
