Andrin Masotti, Brad Fochesato, Tyler Loveday and Josh Vandeweerd caught touchdowns for the Marauders (6-0), while Tyler Crapigna was 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts.
Backup quarterback Marshall Ferguson came on in relief for Quinlan and finished 8-of-14 for 102 yards and a TD.
Lions receiver Jonelle Tolbert was one of the lone bright spots for York (1-5) on the night, catching five passes for 78 yards and two touchdowns. William Austin added four catches for 100 yards.

After Crapigna gave McMaster a 6-0 with two early field goals, Davis-Reynolds rumbled 38 yards to make it 13-0 after one quarter.
Loveday caught a 19-yard pass from Quinlan early in the second before Gibbon found Tolbert from 13 yards out to cut the McMaster lead to 20-7.
But Fochesato and Quinlan hooked up on a 62-yard touchdown late in the quarter as the Marauders led by 20 at the break.
Davis-Reynolds scored on 24-yard run and Masotti found the end zone on a 78-yard pass play after the break as McMaster blew the game wide open to lead 44-7 after three quarters.
