Box Score Coming off a tough loss to Brock on Saturday afternoon, the Warriors were looking to rebound against the visiting McMaster Marauders. Lesia Bandura (Kitchener/) had an excellent game in goal and Melanie Mitchell (Glen Morris/) generated multiple quality goal-scoring opportunities. The Warriors conceded one goal to Marauder's Cassandra Wilshire in the 61^st minute to lose the game 1-0. The Warriors move to 0-5 on the season.

McMaster opened the game maintaining possession, but Waterloo's defence was sound for much of the opening minutes. Goalkeeper Bandura was tested early, making an impressive save on the Marauders striker to keep the score knotted at 0. She would be tested again in the 20^th minute stopping an in-close opportunity on Marauders forward Taylor Lambert.

The momentum would shift to the Warriors in the 25^th minute after captain Adrienne Goldsworthy (Waterloo/) sent a teasing ball near the Marauders far post which would be volleyed just over the bar. Shortly after, Mitchell would steal an errand pass from Marauders goalkeeper in the 30^th minute but floated the shot just wide. Mitchell would miss another in-close opportunity in the 35^th minute but showed positive creativity for Waterloo. Bandura would make an incredible diving save in the dying minutes of the first half to send the ladies to the break knotted at 0-0. Shots were 3-3 per side.

The second half would open with Bandura having to be called on once again by stopping a quality cross to maintain the scoreless tie. Cassandra Wilshire would open the scoring for the Marauders in the 61^st minute off a quality through ball that was slid under the goalkeeper to break the tie.

Possession would continue to be exchanged before McMaster's Sarah Fettan, who was subbed in for goal-scorer Wilshire, continued generating quality scoring opportunities. The Warriors' Kiersten Colbran (Sarnia/) would get the best opportunity for the black and gold in the 81^st minute, heading a ball just wide of the near post. Masooda Badar would add one more scoring chance for the Warriors before the game concluded but the shot was sent wide.

The game concluded 1-0 for the Marauders in what was a strong defensive game by both squads. The Warriors slide to 0-5 on the season and will return to action on September 19^th to face the York Lions at 2pm.
