U Sports: McMaster stuns Western to win Yates Cup as OUA champions
LONDON, Ont. — Matt Krason scored two touchdowns as the McMaster Marauders upset Western 29-15 on Saturday to win the Yates Cup and hand the Mustangs their first loss since the 2018 Vanier Cup championship.
Western, the top-seeded team that had gone 8-0 through the Ontario University Athletics regular season, led 10-0 after one quarter before McMaster stormed back.
Krason’s first TD came as part of a 22-point second quarter for McMaster, cutting its deficit to 10-7. His second put the Marauders ahead 29-13 early in the fourth quarter.
Saturday’s win was McMaster’s eighth at the Yates Cup but first since 2014.
