The Waterloo rugby team phyed well enough to win, but didn’t last Saturday against the McMaster Marauders. After a flat perfo?nce hosting Queen’s the previous week, the Warriors played their best game of the year, allowing three late tries on mistakes and ball-bounces, resulting in the 28-H Mac win. The combination of this loss and Queen’s 9-9 tie with York emtes Waterloo (2-4) from postseason play. Western edged Laurier PO to join Mac -at the 5-l plateau. The ‘Stangs and Marauders will meet tomorrow to determine homefield advantage for th.e playoffs. With memories of a playoff upset at McMaster two years ago, the underdog Warriors were pumped for this contest. They matched their season
