We know that networking ~Jl help us meet important peo- ple and eventually obtain fabu- lous jobs. But how exactly do you go about the nettvorking process? Career networking is about meeting people and building relationships to assist with your educational planning and career aspirations. Networking enables you to gain knowledge and intro- ductions. I! can provide you with assistance in any stage of your career; however, studies show that 60 to 90 percent of j_obs are found through friends , relatives, and direct contacts. One of the common miscon- ceptions about networking is that simply meeting someone counts as a networking relation- ship. In terms of your future, you are looking to establish rela- tionships, not mereJ,r contacts. Contacts are something that can be established immediately and kept for a short period of time, but relationships are built over time and can help you in the future. Follow-ups anch:ontinu- ing contacts will foster this rela- tionship and cause the person to remember you. But how do you know who to include in your. career network? Your network can include any- one who can help you with a job search or any aspect of your career . This can include past and present co-workers, bosses, and friends with similar interests, colleagues from business associ- ations, members of the Marist Alumni Career Network (www.marist.edu/alumni/career. html), or people that you have met online through networking services. You can also utilize friends, family, and neighbQt's who may have helpful connec- tions. Although networking events are a great place to meet people, and establish .future relation- ships , every situation where you interact with others is an oppor- tunity for networking. Career networking shoulq be part of your daily work, as well as career-related activities. When you meet people , the objective is not to sell yourself , but to com- municate, "what I can do for you," as well as "what you can do for me." You need .to ask questions and listen for answers. Building the relatiopship requires i~tegrity, credibility, and trust. In order to truly benefit from networking, there are many tips that experts suggest. First, with- out "selling yourself," prepare a short speech that will tell some- one all you want them to know about you in less than thirty sec- onds. It should tell who you are, what you do, and what you're looking for. Use your existing ties through friends, family, and colleagues in order to establish new contacts. Attend network- ing events that are specifically focused on the field that you are interested in. Show interest in the person that you are talking to, and don't directly ask for a job. Remember to follow up with the person you met, and d0n't be selfish. Also, don't abuse the relationship by always calling the person asking for a favor. Always maintain your networks even if you are not looking for a job at the time. You never know when you may need someone within your network. And since the majority of jobs are unpub- lished, you could always hear of an exciting opportunity. Marist College students save with Kaplan!

Eventually, however, each of those groups must move on to meet other needs and we are trying to focus on what will remain once most of them have left the country.

Battle participant Junior Carly Blackmon of Impulse said she thought the1e was a good match up between the talents of . each band. "It was definitely a close competition," said Blackmon. "We had a bunch of good bands that were very well matched. I · think everyone put on a good performance." Ingrid; wbo was the second of the seven bands to ' perform, experienced some minor: com- plications that took a toll on their performance time. During their first song a band member snapped a string and used several of their perform- ance minutes to find a new one and restring the guitar. The focus of entertainment switched from the stage to the crowd after Middleway's slow protest song. It was then that several enthusiastic males stood up and took off their shirts to reveal messages writ- ten on their chests in support of the band. Middleway lead singer, sopho-• more Rob Colletti, said that he was pleased with his band's performance since it was the first time they had done a show of this nature. "It was the first time we did a show where we were all plugged in and full blast like that," said Colletti. "So I think for us it was a pretty good show ... It was abo~ getting our first show under our belt and getting our name out there." Blackman's band, Impulse, was the runner up in the compe- tition and also the only band to fit five songs into their allowed time. Impulse, the only band in the competition with a female lead sing~r, mimics of the sound of Evanescence. They started off their set with their newest original song "I'm down" which received great support from the crowd. Blackmon stated that she was vecy happy with the perfonn- ance that her own band put on as well as the state of her band right now. "I was very pleased, we had a good performanco,1' said Blackmon.

It was their first sweep since May 3, 2003, when they defeat- ed Niagara. Marist got off to a quick 1 - 0 lead on George Washington when senior co-captai11 CF Allison Bartley drove in junior 3B Chrystine McHugh with a single to left field. In the top of the fourth, Bartley delivered with another single and would eventually come around to score on a two- run · home run that was crushed over the right field wall by sophomore, right fielder Lyndsay Ward. It was Ward's first home run of the season and the second of her career. With the Red Foxes in front 3 - 1 after four innings, they would seal the deal with a three runs m the fifth inning. McHugh led off with a double and freshman first baseman Annie Castellano drove her in with an RBI single. Castellano would later score on a single by junior C Jasmery Polanco's dou-= ble. Later that inning, Bartley would come around to score to give Marist a 6 - 1 lead after five innings. The Red Foxes continued their offensive brilliance with six more runs. Polanco and junior shortstop Katie Eskin connected on two-run scoring · doubles, where Polanco connected in the sixth and errors in game one, their 13 hit onslaught was just too much for the Colonials to handle and they won 12 - 2.

Freshman starting pitcher Megan Rigos threw another great game, allowing just two runs on two hits with five strike- outs fot the complete game win. Though Marist did allow five lead when Castellano hit a sacri- fice fly that scored McHugh. They scored earlier on a single by Jakobsen, who would even- tually score on an error by George Washington's second baseman Lisa Cohen. Jacobsen ended the day the proud owner of a six-game hitting streak. The Colonials ' tied the game in the bottom of the third, but the Red Foxes would regain the lead in the fourth when George Washington's sophomore short- stop Elana Meyers made con- secutive errors, which allowed Ward to reach base and eventu- ally score. Marist added insurance runs with another sac fly by Castellano in the fifth and an RBI single by freshmen starting pitcher Kristen Merlino. The Colonials made a strong comeback in the sixth when freshmen center fielder Jackie Yaniga hit an RBI double, fol- lowed by a run-scoring single by freshmen third baseman Caroline Howe. This brought the score to 5 - 4. With George Washington threatening, Marist brought Rigos i~ to shut the door and the Red Foxes went on to squeak past the Colonials 5 - 4, preserv- ing the sweep of the double- header. Merlino threw five-plus innings, allowing three runs on six hits, earning her first career win. Rigos picked up her first career save and the first save for Marist this season. Marist returns home Mar. 30 against Fordham in a double- header. The first pitch will com- mence at 2 p.m. Despite · cruel (orecast, Marist punishes Hawks with a 6-·s victory in Philly By DAVID HOCHMAN Staff Writer The Marist men's lacrosse team won a well-fought battle with St. Joseph's on Mar. 19 in their con-. ference opener. The 6-5 victory jn Philadelphia showcased the skills of many of the Red Foxes. The team has tal- ent at each grade level and every- one came out to play versus the Hawks. Each goal was scored by a dif- ferent Red Fox. Marist opened up very strongly in the first quar- ter, leaving it with a 2-0 lead off goals from junior midfielder Bill Duerr and sophomore midfielder Mike McGuire. Duerr now leads the team in goals with seven o~ the season. After giving up two goals in the second quarter, juniof attack Andrew Walsh notched a goal before halftime to give the Red Foxes a 3-2 lean at the intermis- sion. Entering the third period with the lead and the last goal, the Red Foxes were carrying all of the momentum. Although this momentum did not show when Marist gave up the first goal of Iuculano, Duerr, and Walsh all the half, sophomore midfielder had goals, while their classmate Matt Donovan came through and goalie Stephen Gravino with 5:22 left to break the tie and stopped nine shots. give the Red Foxes the lead for A big key to this victory had to the rest of the contest. . be the penalty killing of the Red Finishing off the scoring for Foxes as they stopped St. Joe's Marist were freshman attack Pat on four different man-down The Red Foxes home opener versus Canisius on Mar. 26 was postponed due to the poor weath• er conditions in Poughkeepsie.

Diene~'s five goals initiate Foxes' offensive outburst, but fajl to earn : second win of the season By GABE'PERNA Staff Writer Even with a five goal effort from freshman Lingsey Diener, the Marist women's lacrosse team failed to have a successful cross country trip to the West Coast against UC Davis, as they lost 12-8 to the Aggies. UC Davis started strong out of the gate, scoring the game's first six goals and looked well on their way to a Marist rout. However, the Red Foxes came back and even were within three goals with about ten minutes remaining in the game. But alas, they c~uld not com- plete the comeback and fell to 1- 4 on the year. At the break, the · Red Foxes were down 8-2 and looking at an ug\y finish. However. led by Suffolk Campus 155 West Roe Blvd. P~chogue, NY 11772 631-447-3219 Diener, they charged back 8-4 as her and senior Christine Connell sc.ored their second goals very close together. As the game closed,' Marist found themselves down 10-5. Diener struck again along with senior Lauren Sherman as they put Marist down only by three. Despite yet one more goal from Diener, UC Davitt' Tiffany Lee notched two ooals and put the Brooklyn Campus 245 Clinton Avenue Brooklyn, NY U205 718-636-6868 www.sjcny.edu game out of reach for the Red Foxes. Katie McMahon led the Aggies in scoring, where she scored five goals overall and tallied one assist. McMahon paced UC Davis, scoring three of their first six goals, and two of the clinching goals. Lee scored three goals along \\'ith an as!list. whHe Katie McGovern had two goals and two asgjsts for the Aggies. For the Red Foxes, the loss has some positive spots with the effort from Diener; who now has 21 goals on the season. The freshman already has one Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Rookie of the Week title under her belt, and another is sure to come. Diener scored seven goals against St. Mary's in the team's previous contest, which was also a loss. In fact, the Red Foxes ended a West Coast trip at 0-3 losing to Oregon as well. The Red Foxes will oppose MAAC rival Fairfield Apr. 2 in their home opener, hoping to gain their second win of the sea- son. Get Ahead this Summer.
