LAST TIME OUT

The Red Foxes traveled to Nashville, Tennessee to compete in the Challenge in Music City. Marist took two of the three games, defeating Stetson 76-69 and Hofstra 71-57, before falling to Wright State 76-60. Marist is 5-1 on the season.

In the Wright State game, the Red Foxes led 35-32 at the half. However, a 26-point third quarter would propel the Raiders to victory. Junior Rebekah Hand filled out the stat line with 20 points on 4-7 shooting from three and 8-12 shooting from the field. She also added four defensive rebounds, two assists, a block, and a steal. Senior Maura Fitzpatrick also reached double figures with 13 points on 2-4 shooting from three and 4-7 shooting from the field. Sophomore forward Willow Duffell led with seven rebounds, while red-shirt junior point guard Grace Vander Weide led with five assists.

Hand was selected to the All-Tournament team. She tallied 15 points vs. Stetson and 20 points each against Hofstra and Wright State. She shot 23-36 (.639) from the field and 10-17 (.588) from behind the arc in the tournament.
