Just 11 seconds after the Terrier's third goal, which left Marist (11-17, 3-1 MAAC) trailing 3-1 just three and a half minutes into the game, Rinker started the Red Foxes' comeback, scoring the first of eight straight Marist goals that left them up 9-4 at the half.

They then scored four goals in the third quarter and three in the fourth, meanwhile holding St. Francis to just one goal over the final 16 minutes.

Against Villanova, Jessica Hamby scored four times and Puccino and Yuriria Chavez (Chicago, Ill.) each added two goals.
