2008 Woodie Awards
Marist Students, I want to take this oppurtunity to thank all of you for your support this season! As we approach the heart of our home MAAC schedule the team is really enjoying having the students back at the McCann Center! Your support at games this season has made a substantial difference motivating our team and has proven to be a distinct disadvantage for our opponents.
After a shaky start that saw Marist fall behind 6-0, the Red Foxes regrouped, and dominated the Iona Gaels 70-49 for its sixth consecutive win. Two thousand one hundred sixty-three people were on hand to watch the two Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) unbeatens go head-to-head for conference supremacy.
When classes resumed on Jan. 16, much of the grass was green in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.; however, the ground on Leonidoff Field was consumed by immense piles of dirt. The construction of the new stadium continued while all students were home for winter break, including the demolition of the original bleachers which took place on Dec.
Flashback to my freshman year of college, some three-plus years ago: The women's program had fallen on difficult times in the increasingly competitive MAAC conference. The men's team was making a routine of finishing in the bottom tier of the league and playing before a host of nonchalant fans.
Behind a career high 24 points from freshman point guard Frank Turner, the Canisius men's basketball team defeated Marist 84-74 Saturday afternoon in Buffalo, New York. With the win, Canisius improved its record to 9-10 overall and 4-5 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC).
If Marist women's swimming and diving team's collective New Year's resolution is to win more meets, the aquatic Foxes are holding true to their goal, posting two victories in their only two meets of 2007. The team traveled to New Jersey to battle Seton Hall on Friday January 12th, and posted a 162.
The Marist Red Fox swimming and diving team continued to build on a stellar season when they beat Southern Connecticut State University on Saturday 137-90. The victory was even more special because six seniors were honored prior to the meet on Senior Day.
Jared Jordan Basketball, Senior Jordan garnered his fourth MAAC player of the week award. Jordan averaged 22.3 points, 10 assists, and 7.3 rebounds this past week in two overtime road wins over Siena and Niagra. Jordan has seven double-doubles and two triple-doubles this season.
