Just got home from the TUC.

I guess Giorgis has them peaking at the correct time. The defense was stifling and it just took the starch out of Loyola, plain and simple

Gang in civvies and nobody in the section seemed to know why. Guess just ill. No talk about the Stallings situation either. Except that she probably played her best game of the year.

This game was a Marist Fan's dream beyond the final score. Lots of PT for the bench, lots of bench time for the starters. Iona and St. Peters locked in a tough physical game that went down to the wire.

Iona is scary and so is the fact that Marist hasn't lost to a Gael team in about 8 years. The game was very physical and Ivkovic was carried off the court midway through the second half. She is a tough kid and a talented player for them. If she can't go they still have very good size, albeit inexperienced. Marist would be smart to come flying from the opening tip just like they did today.

Back to Albany tomorrow!

Writer Steve Amedio's blog entry on today's game.

MARIST WOMEN OFF TO FAST START

ALBANY, N.Y. - The most-dominating women's program the conference has ever had turned in the most-dominating quarterfinal-round performance here Friday.

Marist had its first 10-point lead 11 minutes into the contest, a 21-point advantage with five minutes left in the first half, a 30-point lead with 17:12 remaining in the game ...

Well, you get the point.

Final score: Top-seeded Marist 81, No. 9 seed Loyola 27. And, the game was every bit as lopsided as the final score indicates.

The early margin enabled head coach Brian Giorgis to give his players plenty of rest. In all 10 players saw action for the Red Foxes, all getting between 14 and 28 minutes of action.

Five players scored in double figures, led by junior forward and Player of the Year Rachele Fitz's 15 points. Senior guard Julianne Viani, a first-team all-league player, had 12 points.

The winners shot 54.4 percent from the field and held a 44-27 edge on the boards.

But we saved the most-impressive part of Marist's game for last: Loyola shot just 15.4 percent (8-of-52) from the field in the contest.

And, the 27 points allowed by Marist accounts for the fewest the program has ever allowed since moving to the Division I level. The Red Foxes� previous low came on Dec. 10, 2006 when they allowed Manhattan to score 30 in a 70-30 win at the McCann Center.

The final tally also accounts for the fewest points allowed and largest margin of victory in a MAAC women's tournament game.
