POUGHKEEPSIE, New York – The Marist women's lacrosse team opens play in the MAAC Championships on Friday morning. The Red Foxes will face Iona in the opening round at 11 a.m. Friday at Fairfield.
Marist is the #8 seed in this year's championship, and the Gaels are the #9 seed. Under this season's championship format, this game takes place at the site of the top seed – Fairfield – who will then face the winner of Friday's contest. That quarterfinal contest will take place on Saturday at noon.
A closer look at the Red Foxes:
Marist won the MAAC championship in 2008 & 2010.
Marist is 12-3 against the Gaels all-time, having won six of the last seven meetings. This is the first meeting between the programs in the MAAC Championships.
Should the Red Foxes advance and face Fairfield, they are 11-22 against the Stags all-time. However, Marist is 5-4 against Fairfield in MAAC Championship play.
Both Friday's and Saturday's games will be carried live on ESPN+, with J.J. Duke handling play-by-play duties. Liz Robertshaw will be the analyst for Saturday's game.
