Preview

Since Brian Giorgis took over the head coaching position at Marist four years prior, the Red Foxes compiled a record of 78–41 overall, and 52–20 in MAAC play. In those four seasons, Marist has won the MAAC regular season crown three times, and been to the NCAA Tournament twice. The team returned first team All-MAAC selection Meg Dahlman, third team All-MAAC selection, and MAAC defensive player of the year, Alisa Kresge, and MAAC All-Rookie team selection Julianne Vianni.[1] Despite this, Iona was the preseason favorite to win it all, while Marist was picked second.[2]
