Marist is 4 games into their season, and is yet to play a home game. In fact their next three games are also on the road which means the ladies will have played seven straight road games before they come home for their home opener. But lets not feel too bad for them because although their next three games arent at the McCann Center, they will all be played on the same court in Honolulu, Hawaii. Now I haven't made my way around asking all the members and coaches of the team where they would rather play, but I know I would rather play in Hawaii than Poughkeepsie. They go there to face a nice schedule as well, gauranteed to play three games against Utah, Nebraska, and Eastern Washington. It will be a nice test for Giorgis and his squad and there is a very good chance that this team makes another statement and wins this tournament, bringing the trophy back to Pouhgkeepsie. If Marist can win all three games in Hawaii or at least 2 of 3, they will be off to a start that you have to be happy with, especially having yet to play at home. Marist will play its three games in Hawaii on November 22nd (Thanksgiving day), 23rd and 24th.

Dustin -- Too bad you couldn't come out to see these games. Marist was just awesome, especially defensively. This team is so good, their opponents, especially Utah and Nebraska, who probably thought they would make easy work of the Foxes, had to sit up and take notice of the ladies from PoTown. Next up --Yale, with Marist looking for revenge from last year's loss.

O Tim trust me I would have done a lot to try and be in Hawaii with the team. It seems like they just dominated. What you say about Utah and Nebraska taking them lightly I think will be a factor throughout the season when they face big names teams. No one will think they have to play their best basketball to beat the Foxes.
