National Rank : 29th in ESPN/USA Today's Coaches Poll
Last Game: Defeated Canisius 93-66
This Friday Marist will look to improve to 8-0 in the MAAC and 18-2 overall as they host Siena at 7:30 in McCann. The theme of Friday night's game, "Pack the House." Marist along with the rest of the NCAA is trying this new campaign to try and get more student fans to attend women's sporting events. This Friday's game is Marist's day to pack the house as the MAAC was one of the first conferences to commit to the idea. The idea is simple, one team from each of the 31 conferences and then one independent team will be selected as the winner. However the best attendance does not gaurantee that your school "packed the house" the best. The results will be based on creative marketing strategies but also the biggest increase from the previous years single game attendance record. Right now that stands at 2,229 which was set last year against Canisius on February 9th.
Marist's student section or "The Marist Sixth Man" is capable of holding its fair share of students. Located behind the far basket, the section holds an impressive 680 fans and really provides a home-court advantage for the Red Foxes. At the game the first 1,000 fans will receive a commemorative Sweet 16 t-shirt courtesy of Verizon Wireless. The Red Foxes have been dominate so far this season and this is a great chance to come out and watch them play. It should be a good game and the house should be rocking and obviously packed. The game again is the Friday, January 25th at 7:30pm.
