to lower 30's. They keep this up they will drop out of the top 25 on Monday.

Freshman night at the McCann Field House. Corielle Yarde goes for 15 pts, 4 rebounds and 6 assists in 18 minutes. Best and Stallings set career high for scoring with 10 apiece. Fitzie knocked on noggin, only scores 11.

Surprising Loyola up next in Baltimore. Toughest place in the MAAC to play for Marist. Unfortunately, its opposite the Giant game on Sunday.

I feel about as bad for NU coach Kendra Faustin as I did for Fordham coach Kathy "the Drooze" Andruzzi when I watched Girlzaga smash the Rams by 50 at McCann two years ago. Both coaches walked into situations where the administration and the previous coach had run the program into the ground. I mean, Bill Agronin was utterly incompetent at his job and Niagara looked the other way for 20+ years.

Niagara opponents average 80.5 ppg while they score only 54.5 after tonight. I wish I had some real advice for Faustin besides "run everybody off and start over again." Same goes for Lynn Milligan at Rider, come to think of it. Siena - I'd advocate a change of management - Gina Castelli lost her fastball five years ago and hasn't found it again.

Once he and the Latvians moved on the talent pool has been pretty shallow. They have had some stars, Manzer, Menty, Dooley and Burrell, but not much else to support them.

Whether that is her and the staff, or just a lack of resources, who knows.

Burrell's dismissal was devastating. The kid was a legit POY candidate. She was a true scorer that hit a medium range jumper and slash to the basket with equal efficiency. A superior athlete she could blanket her opponent on defense too. I am sure they made recruiting decisions based on her being in the line up, so this turn of events could be a double whammy for them.

Don't think Siena has any interest in investing new resources in WBB, nor do the fans, and Castelli must be very well paid. The admins seem to be very fond of her, and since any additional bucks would probably have to come from the head coach budget line, it's gonna be status quo in Loudenville on the ladies side.

Looks like the freshmen can hit the freethrows, Stallings 6 for 6, Gang 4 for 4 and Yarde 4 for 5. Did they come in doing that, or is this another example of fine coaching
