"We are thrilled to take part in the MAAC/ASUN Dublin Challenge in November. It's a tremendous opportunity for our program to compete in Dublin, and it will be a great experience from both cultural and competitive standpoints. The city is a great hub for our College's Study Abroad program and host to our Freshman Dublin Experience. We greatly appreciate the work done by the MAAC, Atlantic Sun, and Inspirus Sports for putting an outstanding event together." - Brian Giorgis, Marist College Women's Basketball Head Coach
