credit Siena for pressuring the ball the whole game. Marist never looked comfortable in the offense and scrambled all game until crunch time. Lindermann and Fullmer hit shot after shot after shot. At one point Fullmer hit 5 straight jump shots including several 3's. The Siena defense collapsed effectively on Fitz and she struggled to get off shots. In the mean time Marist couldn't buy a mid to long range jumper, and that made the sagging defense all that more effective as the Saints cleaned the defensive boards. Siena played great.

As frustrating as the flow of the game was Siena was never able to get draw clear and Marist would chip their way back in. Much like the men's game on Thursday, once Marist (in this case) took the lead with around 5 minutes to go, they seemed to get a burst of energy on the defensive end and closed out the game at the foul line. Really uncanny.

I do think this is the wake up call, and I don't expect them to play into an opponents hands again any time soon.

I don't know who the player of the game was, but it should have been Corielle Yarde. The kid is special. She is easily Marist's best athlete and she rebounds like a 6+ footer. Just a burst of energy off the bench and she seems equally adept shooting the jumper as she is driving to the hoop. She was diving for the ball and got in at least on tie-up to get the ball back. Gang didn't do much after she got knocked to the floor early on.
