Here they Come



It hasn't taken very long for the Lady Red Foxes to start rolling in the early part of this season. After losing the season opener, Marist has come out and won three straight in convincing fashion. There last three games (all wins) were road games against Fordham, Stony Brook and Dartmouth. The women didn't give any of their opponents a chance either, winning all three games by double digits. The beat Fordham 77-55, Stony Brook 65-54, and today embarrased Dartmouth 71-35 to improve to 3-1 on the season. Over those three game Rachele Fitz averaged 14.7 points per game and Meg Dahlman averaged 11.6 points per game, but only had 3 points in the win over Dartmouth. This is the frontcourt dominance we can expect from the these two ladies as this season grows on. Sure Dahlman and Fitz only combined for 13 points against Dartmouth, but the backcourt stepped up and Marist also dominated Dartmouth from the opening tip so the game was never in jeopardy. Ten minutes into the game Marist probably knew they had the game wrapped up, so Dahlman let Viani and freshamn Elise Caron dominate as the two both scored 14 apiece in this one. Marist is now rolling and will take this momentum to Hawaii for the Thanksgiving tournament.
