Foxes do just enough to hold off the Saints 14-13 in a must win game for both teams. Marist continues to have Siena's number.

Tennis season was a mixed bag. The women continued to really struggle, finishing 0-6 in MAAC play. Caterina Assi was named MAAC Rookie of the Year despite the team's lack of success. I think that shows the new coach Deepak Sharma is already a major improvement over borderline useless Gary Sussman.
The men went 4-2 and will be the 3 seed in the tournament this weekend, semifinals against Quinnipiac, with Fairfield waiting in the finals if they upset QU.
1st Team All-MAAC: Alex Thompson, Tomas Gomez
2nd Team All-MAAC: Jose Catala, Nick Suhanitski

Player of the Week awards for Josh Balcarcel (MLAX) and Ethan Conrad (BASE).
Men's lacrosse won its last 4 regular season games to pick up the 4 seed and a home quarterfinal against Siena at 7 pm Saturday night.
Marist would host the semis and championship if they win and Quinnipiac beats Manhattan in the 6-3 game (Sacred Heart and LIU cannot host by MAAC rules).
Softball is still in first place, having won every series so far (except a split with Siena where Game 3 was rained out). They really wear out opposing pitching staffs with their deep lineup.
Baseball has taken some steps forward with series wins 2 of the past 3 weekends. They're sitting 5th at the moment, top 6 qualify. They visit our old pal Chris Tracz and his Army Black Knights this afternoon and then go to Canisius on the weekend.

On Wednesday during the 3rd game of Marist series sweep over Saint Peter's, senior 3B Miah McDonald set school records for single season home runs (16) and RBI (59). 33 of her 61 hits have been XBH leading to an incredible 1.231 OPS. 7 triples and 11 stolen bases as well. Competition level concerns notwithstanding, these are All-American candidate statistics.

Are we just a Miah McDonald stan account now? Possibly! Walk off grand slam in the bottom of the 8th to beat Canisius in game 1 of the weekend series.
EDIT: another homer in game 2, a 7-3 Foxes win that locked up a spot in the MAAC tournament. They're closing in on the regular season title and hosting rights.

After 4 straight wins to close the regular season unfortunately it was not our night in the quarters against Siena. Marist led 6-4 at halftime but the Saints outscored the Foxes 8-3 in the second half.
Marist should return I believe 8 of 10 starters including three MAAC All-Rookie selections.

Unfortunately I think beating Siena in the regular season matchup up just set us up for this. Needed the regular season win to make the tournament but still. Still a solid season when you think about what they lost last season

Siena shut out Balcarcel Marist’s leading scorer. Game stats say Siena limited him to 4 shots. Like MBB the coaches missed the preseason poll pretty badly. They had Siena and Marist 1/2.. Number 1 seed Sacred Heart was picked 6th but finish the regular season 11-4, and 9-0 in the MAAC.

Miah McDonald becomes the first MAAC softball player since 2001 to hit 20 home runs in a season. Oh, and per the profile story on her in Center Field the other day, she's returning in 2025 for her grad year. Awesome.

If she was to come back that is basically everyone coming back for another year lol

If she was to come back that is basically everyone coming back for another year lol I have heard this too, that Myers will return. With the injured freshman pitcher that was 2023 Gatorade PoY in Connecticut and so much of the lineup back, they could be truly incredible for a MAAC squad in 2025. Also they're really good now! In order to host the MAAC tournament they need from the final weekend: win 2 of 3 at Fairfield OR 1 win and Niagara to lose once at Mount OR Niagara and Rider each lose once.
