I remember at the beginning of the season a reader asked me not to worry about Marist reaching the NCAA tournament but instead set a season goal at going undefeated in the MAAC. Well folks the ladies are one win away from going undefeated in the MAAC this season. Their regular season concludes this Saturday evening at 7:30pm against St. Peters. It will be their final game and obviously their final home game of the season. They will then go on to the MAAC tournament which will be played in Albany. Their coming off a win over St. Peters on Wednesday night where they knocked off the Peahen's 70-57 in their first meeting of the season. The back end of the home and home will be played at the McCann Center Saturday night. Wednesday night who else but Rachael Fitz had 24 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Red Foxes who were without Julianne Viani for the first time all season. Freshman Elise Caron got the start in her place.
The win over St. Peters was Marist's 17th straight win which is also a program-record. Looking at the rankings they are currently ranked 25 in the nation in the AP poll and 21st in the ESPN/USA Today Poll.
Saturday night Marist looks to extend the winning streak to 18 and finish out the season unbeaten in conference.
