Coffey and Fogarty finished the game tied for the team lead with 13 points, Coffey also added three rebounds and three assists.

The Red Foxes attacked the basket much better in the latter stages and earned their first free throws of the game at the 11:02 mark in the second half. Marist would go on to shoot 12 more in the game and finish 10-13 at the stripe.
