Mark Bryson Chronicle Staff Simply put, there are two ways to end a losing streak. You can do it by defeating the opposition or you can do it by playing to a draw. University of Waterioo wide receiver Richard Chen hauls in a pass from quarterback Mike Wright during Saturday afternoon‘s heartbreaking 17â€"16 loss to McMaster. mark Bryson photo Both do the trick, but the win is certainly the desired route. Just ask University of Waterloo footâ€" ball head coach Bob McKillop. Playing at home against the McMaster Marauders Saturday, his Warriors had the perfect opportunity to put an end to their 16â€"game losing streak. But Warâ€" riors gambled on a twoâ€"point convert late in the game and lost not only the bet, but the game as well. The 17â€"16 setback left UW‘s record at 0â€"3, good for last place in the Ontario Universities Athâ€" letic Association football standâ€" ings. ‘"‘There was no question at all in my mind. We could have settled for a tie but that really doesn‘t achieve anything. We had to go for the win," said McKillop, who has not won a game since 1984. Waterloo had several opporâ€" tunities to put McMaster away before the missed twoâ€"point conâ€" vert but failed on execution. A sparse crowd at Seagram Stadiâ€" um watched Waterloo‘s defence keep the Hamilton squad hemmed in its half of the field for the entire first quarter, but the Warrior offence did nothing with the field position. ‘"‘We missed a number of opâ€" portunities,""‘ said McKillop. ‘‘There‘s no question about that." A fumble on the McMaster 10â€"yard line combined with a blocked field goal attempt left Waterloo with nothing to show /m t UW Warriors lose going for it all Next Course Starts Saturdays Oct. 17 They finally jumped ahead early in the second as quarterâ€" back Mike Wright teamed up with wide receiver Peter Thistâ€" lewaite for a 28â€"yard scoring pass. for an football McMaster responded on the final play of the half as quarterâ€" back Kevin Holland tossed an eightâ€"yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jamie Wooten. The 7â€"7 halftime deadlock did not last long however, as Macâ€" Master halfback John Sutton plunged into the end zone from one yard out. The teams exâ€" changed field goalsâ€"a 45â€"yarder from the toe of UW kicker Brian Kaban and a 14â€"yarder from Rob DeLucaâ€"before the dramatic fiâ€" nale. Wright and Thistlewaite proâ€" vided the heroics with only 2% minutes remaining on the clock when they teamed up again for an 18â€"yard touchdown pass.

"It was one we let get away. There‘s no question," said a disappointed McKillop. But the beat moves on an UW must now hope to put its long losing streak to an end against University of Western (3â€"0) in London on Saturday, a task McKillop says is ‘"not impossiâ€" ble." ‘"‘They‘re an excellent football team but they‘re not as good as they once were. We‘re going to have to work our asses off and execute to perfection to have a chance," said McKillop. ‘"Besides, there isn‘t a guy in Canada who thinks we‘ll win, so let‘s just hope Western thinks that way and doesn‘t show up to play."
