The Siena Saints continued their steamroll through the MAAC conference on Saturday, defeating Marist 79-60 at the McCann center. The victory marked Siena's thirteenth consecutive win, and Marist's tenth consecutive loss. For the second time this season, Marist has lost 10 consecutive games.
The last two home games for the Marist women's basketball team have been close games against opponents with similar rosters full of tall, athletic, and physical players. This Friday, a third team cut from the same mold visits the McCann Center. The Red Foxes will host the Iona Gaels, the winners of nine straight games who hold an identical MAAC record of 9-1, on "Pack the House" night in the most highly anticipated conference game since Marist and Iona were both selected to finish in the top two spots in the MAAC pre-season coaches poll.
For the third week in a row, Marist diver Brian Bolstad has set a school record. Bolstad broke his own record of 322.87 on the 1-meter board, which he had just set a week earlier, with a score of 338.92. This record is Bolstad's fourth record in the past three weeks.
