Red Foxes hire former Memphis
assistant coach Chuck Martin
By GREG HRINYA
Sports Co-Editor
The name Chuck Martin might
not be recognizable to most peo-
ple, but the names of Memphis
Tigers' stars Derrick Rose, Chris
Douglas-Roberts,
and
Joey
Dorsey surely are.
Martin coached all three while
working as an assistant coach at
Memphis.
The Marist Red Foxes men's
basketball team named Chuck
Martin their head coach on
Thursday, Apr.
17,
in a
2
p.m.
press conference. After guiding
some of the most talented players
in the country, Martin will now
bring his experience to the
Hudson Valley.
Martin spent two seasons at
Memphis and amassed a stagger-
ing
71-6
record alongside
Naismith coach of the year John
Calipari. This past season,
Memphis traveled to the NCAA
championship game only to fall
short in overtime against eventu-
al champion Kansas.
Martin agreed to a six-year deal
that runs through the
2013-2014
season, and he will become the
sixth Division I Yiead coacn in
Red Foxes' basketball history.
For the Marist community,
Martin's arrival represents a
homecoming for the Bronx
native. He played
for
St.
Raymond's High School and
operated as an assistant coach for
both Manhattan and St. John's.
Most recent1y, he assisted
John
Calipari in Memphis' consecutive
runs
to
the NCAA tournament.
Martin noted the

and make the most of it."
Despite the inconsistencies,
Schneider is excited about
the
character and experience that
Chuck Martin brings to Marist.
"He has a great resume. He's
worked and coached with some
of the best names in the busi-
ness," Schneider said.
"Hopefully
as a player entering my senior
year he can bring that continued
success here to Marist."
Farmer's view
Although senior and former Red
Foxes' captain Ben Farmer
has
played his last game with Marist,
he was impressed by the hire Tim
Murray and company
·
made in
replacing Brady.
"I
think it's great for the school,
the program, and the communi-
ty," Farmer said. "After hearing
him speak he sounds lik~ a really
good guy, and he's_ got really
good intentions for the program."
Without Farmer, the Red Foxes
miss a great deal of leadership.
Marist will also
lose
key contrib-
utors Ryan
Stilphen, Shae
McNamara, Spongy Benjamin,
and Louie
Mccroskey.
The senior believes
that
the tal-
ent is there
to
be successful next
season in Martin's system, but the
team might
struggle
in its first
season with a new coach.
"The returning players are
good,
they're
good players,"
Farmer said. "I think the system
he's going to want to play, I think
guys like Kaylen and a few other
guys will have a chance to flour-
ish.
"With a new coach it's
always
tough, and
the
first year there's
always some bumps in the road,
but I think eventually he will get
this place right up at the top of
the
league."
''Tim
Murray and his staff made
a slam dunk with the hiring of
Chuck," Calipari said. "Marist
has a proud basketball tradition,
and I'm confident that Chuck will
do his best to continue - and
build on - the level of success the
Marist program has enjoyed."

To me, this is only fitting -
the place you dispel of

Sometimes, really hard. It's
a gift, really.

-
bent fencing? That's all I
get to work with? An
unknowing passerby tram-
pled on the fencing, or a
displaced deviant really
wanted to mess with the
college.
If
the latter was
true, you really cut deep,
you rebel without a cause.
If
there's anything a college
prides itself on, it's the
black fencing surrounding
any athletic field. Way to
make a statement. Next
time, try ripping out the

the
oversized tarp and hose
after a few minutes. Now,
there could be two reasons
for this crackdown on
childhood activities. Either
security takes the grass
quality of Marist extremely
seriously, or there is just
something about tanned,
toned females in skin-tight
bikinis frolicking under a
cold, dripping hose and
sliding head first down a
giant piece of plastic that
seems to get the general
campus population all hot
and bothered. I'm going
with the grass theory - it
really is the pride and joy.
4/19 - Upper West Cedar
Wasting a perfectly good
breakfast, another group of
merry pranksters took it
upon themselves to snve
eggs to campus, throwing
them at windows in Upper
West Cedar. Well, that's
one way to pass the time.
Most people have a hobby,

As global food prices soar, Third
World nations continue to starve
By MIKE NAPOLITANO

If you haven't noticed, there

in the world.
Other than a
slight

Here is the reality: the

They decide the fixed rates of

enough, almost every industry is
at the mercy of the

Unfortunately this affects the

Professor Robert Watson,
the
Chief Scientific Advisor for
the
Department for Environment,
Food, and Rural Affairs put it
best in a recent interview with
Al-Jazeera:
"Business
as usual
will mean that we will not be
able to feed the world. Business
as usual means we will continue
to degrade the environment.
Business as usual means that we
will not ever solve the problems
of poverty and hunger."

students
or Marist life in general? Send 'em to cir-
cleshots@gmail.com. The Admissions department of Marist and The Circle have teamed up this semes-
ter to bring you the first ever Marist Photo Contest. The contest is aimed at finding the most artistic pho-

ed cash prizes. First place will win $100, second gets $75, third

Credit for each photo will be given wherever credits

this contest.
Regardless of the fact that these pictures may be used by Marist
College
in the future, the artistic qual-
ities of submitted photographs matter greatly. So grab your camera, have fun, and you could get paid for
just being a part of Marist.

decided there was only one way to win Ian's love.
Mimi put Jell-O in his locker.
Normally, the school wouldn't give out the lock-
er combinations of its students. Well, this didn't
stop Mimi.
She simply went to the Student Affairs Center,
told them that she was Ian's
"guardian

the crew club, and they handed her Ian's combina-
tion.
I guess they expected her to surprise him with
brownies or something normal.
Nope. Instead, Mimi filled a plastic container
with lime Jell-O, placed it in Ian's locker, and wait-
ed for him
to
discover his love token.
After each class, Mimi would sprint through the
high school to Ian's locker and wait for him at the
end of the hallway. She would stand there for the
entirety of the six minutes allotted in between each
class period, and then she'd sprint to class when
Ian didn't go to his locker.

Maybe Mimi would've had more of a chance if
she had used any flavor but the crap known as lime

Personally, I think the flaw in her plan was the
actual stalker factor.
Everyone loves grand, romantic gestures (admit

does something wild and crazy for a crush.
However, I

that we love those gestures - so

hard way.

Sometimes, you'll be slapped with the reality of,

to the Marist River Front. As of
Tuesday, 400 tickets had been
sold. With the addition of
Belikos, the winner of Marist's
Battle of the Bands, to the line-
up, students are becoming more
optimistic about the show.

Belikos, who won the chance
to open for

artists, this year's spring concert
should be enjoyable for students.
The show is expected to start at
noon. Student tickets can be pur-

Karan creates trendy
DK.NY spring collection
By
COURTNEY
SAVOIA
Staff Writer
Donna Karan is one
of the most passionate
and
inspirational
designers that the
fashion world has
been exposed to
sinccllll•-
she came onto
the
scene in 1984.
Driven
by her own creative
spirit, Donna has
cre-
ated pieces for the
everyday
ma~,
woman and child
who
crave
i:omfortab
l
e
and stylish fashion.
"Everything
I
do
i
s.__ _
_.
a matter of heart, body
and soul," says Donna Karan,
chief designer of the internation-
al company that bears her name
.
"For me, designing is an expres-
sion of who
I am as a woman,
with all the complications, feel-
ings and emotions."
Karan considers the lifestyle
that her customer has before
designing her collections. She
became famous for her easy
seven pieces, which every
woman needs to get though each
d
ay o
f
the
week These
ba
s
ic
pieces have made her one of the
most renown and popular
designers among celebrities,
who tum to her for everything
from casual dress to evening
wear.
"I created this company for
women like me and my friends,"
says Karan. "We're passionate
and creative, striving to make a
difference in whatever way we
can. For us, communication is
the ultimate essential of all."
Donna Karan New York was
established in 1989 and features
more reasonable prices than
Karan's couture collections.
DKNY is what Karan calls "the
pizza to Collection's caviar".
The target customer is someone
who is young and is willing to
take a risk. The prices range
from $29.50 to over $300 and
features clothes that can be worn
any day of the
week.
"Simply stated, DKNY is the
energy and spirit of New York:
International, eclectic, fun, fast
and
real,"
according
to
DKNY.com. "DKNY addresses
the real-life needs of people
everywhere, from work to week-
end, jeans to evening
.
Both fash-
ionable and friendly, DKNY
consistently delivers its unique
mix of style around the world."
The DKNY brand is inspired
by the feel and excitement of
New York City. Growing up in
Long Island and later working in
New York City, Karan became
influenced by the atmosphere
and attitude of city-life and
incorporated this into her collec-
tion.
The DK.NY collection offers
basic t-shirts, a wide assortment
of denim, blouses, skirts, dresses
and jackets. More recently,
accessories have been added and
include handbags, shoes, acces-
sories, eyewear and even
fra-
grances. Karan has expanded
her
collection to the fullest and cov-
ers every aspect of what her cus-
tomer needs for everyday life
and anything else they so desire.

of in an entire garment.
The versatility of Karan's
designs is one of the qualities
that make her such a respectable
designer among people who
have different budgets. She
seems to understand that her
designs appeal to different types
•
of customers and has been very
accommodating by creating
bridge and better collections, in
addition to her couture
line.
:
One of the reasons she designs
'
for different categories and at
different price points goes back
to when she first created the
DK.NY collected in 1989. Karan
was looking for ways to create
stylish and trendy clothing that
her daughter and husband could
wear every day, whether it was
going to school or work or to
social events. She realized that
although she was designing for
high-class people, you can't be
dressed-up all the time, and it is
important to have those go-to
casual pieces for a typical day.
"For Karan, it's never been just
about clothes," according to
DKNY.com.
"It's about a
lifestyle. She sees the entire pic-
ture from head-to-toe, from
function to aesthetic."
This quote illustrates another
one of the reasons I admire
Donna Karan so much. She is
always thinking and considering
what is in the best interest of her
customer. She not only thinks
about the fabric and quality of
her designs, but also considers
what her customer is going to be
doing while wearing her clothes
and if it fits into their lifestyle.
I think that DKNY is a great
example of a lifestyle brand,
especially for customers who are
in college, because it represents
the fun and excitement of being
young. For me, clothing has
always been an expression of
who I am and where I am during
a certain point of my life.
Knowing that Karan
is
on the
same page as her customer is an
added bonus and will continue to
bring her success for years to
come.

A reflection on Relay
for
Life at
Marist
By CHRISTINE SAVOIA
Staff Writer
On Friday, Apr.
18, Marist
College hosted Relay for Life
with the help of the American
Cancer Society on the campus
green. For those who are unfa-
miliar with the event, the
American Cancer Society hosts
over 4,800 relays nationwide
each year in order to raise
money for cancer
research,
honor those who are currently
battling cancer and remember
those who have died as cancer
victims.
These
relays
are gener-
ally overnight events where
teams set up tents and take
shifts
walking
for the cause.
Last weekend, students from
all sorts of organizations, clubs
and Greek affiliations poured
onto the campus green to par-
ticipate
in
the walk that lasted
from 6 p.m.
Friday
night to 6
a.m.
Saturday morning.
The
event was
kicked off by a series
of riveting
speeches
from
American Cancer
Society rep-
resentatives and Marist faculty
and
students who
helped make
Relay for Life possible here on
campus, as well as an honorary
first lap
for
all cancer survivors
present.
At 10 p.m. that night, the
luminaria Ceremony of Hope
was held, during which candles
were lit to form the word
"HOPE" in remembrance of
those who had lost their lives.
For those who did not attend
this year, I would definitely
recommend it as something to
get involved in next year, even
for graduating seniors who
might be looking for a reason to
Society is an easy way to

my high school graduation, I
walked into a hospital room and
was shocked to see that my

sonally didn't tough out the
entire night, it really was a
great experience for me as
someone who has lost several
relatives to cancer. It was obvi-
ous that they try to make the

brance and hope, but also an
opportunity to have fun by pro-

Local
psych evaluation
Student participants
needed for
this study
By KARLIE JOSEPH
Staff Writer
Over
the past eight
months and continuing
through
Juiy,
Marist
College students
are being
offered the opportunity
to participate in a
smokers' study
conducted by George Schinkel.
The study will
take place at Dutch~ss County
Department
of
M~ntal Hygiene, and those who
choose to participate will receive $20 in
exchange for
their
service.
"The
whole process
is
fairly simple," said
Schinkel;
"We
start with a phone screening in
order
to see if the
person is a good candidate
for
the study, then further olarify their credibil-
ity
with a brief psychological evaluation."
After
the
volunteer is
cleared, he or she must
complete
an hour long interview at Dutchess
County
Department
of
Mental Hygiene. The
interview
consists of
specific
questions regard-
ing past memories and experiences.
"There
are
absolutely
no risks involved,"
said Schinkel, "and
the most appealing part for
students is it is an easy 20
bucks."
While
in the
process of changing career
paths,
Schinkel, former CEO
of NBGI
Securities Inc, bolds
an internship at Dutchess
County Department
of Mental Hygiene and is
currently working at
both
Lexington
Center for
Recovery and
Downstate
Correctional facility
in
Beacon.
Schinkel said
that the research is
being done
as a part of
his dissertation as he is
working
for
a
PhD in psychology at The New
School
University
in Manhattan.
The research is based on a model developed
in the late 1970s by psychologist Dr. Carlo
C:
Diclamente at the Universi~y of Rhode Island.
The concept, known as the
"Stages
of Change
Model" examines the differing steps a person
takes before a major change bas occurred in
their life.
"I am basically looking for two constructs in
this particular study," said Schinkel,
"the
pre•
contemplative stage which includes those who
are happy with their particular status as a
smoker,
and the contemplative
stage, those
who are looking to change." Schinkel's
goal is
to identify bow smoking contributes to how
people portray themselves to the world.
"The
specifics of the questions are directed
to
answer my
_
fundamental question in the
research: how addiction impacts personality,"
said Schinkel.
Schinkel said that while the research is not
limited to college students, the majority of his
participants are between the ages of 19 and
22.
"I have currently completed 15
subjects
including students from
The
New School,"
said
Schinkel, "So far I have
gotten only
two
responses from Marist students but none that
actually took part in the study."
Schinkel said that his main focus has been
college campuses for two reasons:
availability
and the number of people who begin
smoking
in
this age group. Schinkel looks
to
have more
participants as the study
continues.
"I hope the Marist community will be willing
to contribute to this research,"
said Schinkel.

Green and Rigas honored as Marist goes 5-1
By
JUSTINE DECOTIS
Staff Writer
The Marist women's softball
team had a superb week, going
5-1 with two games each over St.
John's and Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC)
foes Rider and Iona.
Last
Wednesday,
Marist traveled
down to Queens fQr a double
header with Big East team St.
John's. Megan Rigos continued
her great season by
pitching
superbly for the Foxes, throwing
the complete game in a 4-1 victo-
ry for the Foxes. She allowed
one unearned run on only two
hits and recorded ten strikeouts
and did not allow a walk. Marist
had a very balanced offensive
attack as six players recorded
hits, all six getting one each.
The Red Foxes began the scor-
ing early as they jumped on St.
John's starter Linzee Sumerall
for three runs in the first and
one
in the second.
Rigos may have pitched well in
Game 1, but her performance
was overshadowed as St. John's
pitcher Kat Lawrence hurled a
perfect game against Marist in a

Game

The game ended in the fifth
because of the ten-run rule.

offense under double digits in
only one of the three games.
In the first game, Marist's
starter Stephen Peterson wasn't
able to get out of the second
inning. He gave up six runs in
1.1 innings pitched before being
relieved by Kyle Putnam,, who
was solid in giving up just four
offense tacked on a few more to
stave off any effort of a Red Fox
comeback.
The second game of the double
header
was a
bit
c1oscr.
however.
Marist got out to a 2-0 lead, but
Le Moyne answered back in the
bottom of the second with four
runs of their own off Marist's
st~rting pitcher Josh Rickards.
He only lasted 3
.2
innings and
suffered from some control
issues. He only gave up three
hits, but had five walks which
led to giving up six runs. He was
relieved by junior Jacob Wiley,
who shut down Le Mayne for the
rest of the game and gave Marist
a chance to regain the lead.
Wiley was the most impressive
pitcher over the weekend, as he
~nly allowed one hit in 2.1
innings pitched against the pow-
erful Le Mayne offense.
Marist pounded out 13 hits in
the game but was only able to
squeak out five nms, which was-
n't enough to overtake Le
Moync.
The Foxes offense had five hit-
ters with multi-hit games, and
senior catcher Keith Glasser led
the team with two RBIs when he
cut the deficit to 6-4 in the sixth
inning with a two-run home
run.
Designated hitter Andrew
Stanton hit a solo shot in the first
inning to ~riginally
.
put Marist
ahead, and the top three hitters in
the lineup combined to go 6-12,
but only scored two runs.
After a rough double header,
Marist looked to
try
to
rebound
on Sunday, but Le Mayne's
offense would have none of it,
aod Marist was down 8- l by the
end of the third inning, which
proved
to
be too <Jeep a hole to
dig out of.
Marist decided to go with
freshman pitcher Sean Mckeown
to start, but he was ineffective.
\ft
r he
gave up
six earned
runs
in just two innings, sophomore
Richard
Cary
came in and was
able to at least slow down Le
Mayne's offense just a bit, but
wasn't able to shut them down
completely. Cary gave up four
earned runs over the next 4.1
innings pitched.
Wiley came in again and fin-
ished out the game on the mound
for Marist, giving up one
run
in
1.2 innings pitched.
The Red Foxes offense wasn't
too bad,. but once again they just
didn't do enough to overcome
the large deficits they were in
each game.
Freshman second baseman
Ricky Pacione led Marist's
offense with two solo home
runs.
First baseman Kenny Anderson
also added two RBIs. The seven
runs scored weren't enough, and
Marist
loi.t
the final
game
of the
series by a score of
11-
7.
Marist
is cunrently
tied
fol'
sev-
enth place in the Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference
(MAAC)
with a 5-7 record. They are 14-19
overall.
The schedule from here on out
is mostly conference games, so
the Red Foxes are going to have
to start winning quickly and con-
sistently
if they want to have any
chance in the MAAC.
The team will face Saint Peters
at home for an important three-
game series
starting
on April 26.
Water Polo gears for MAACs
Marist combine
By

Staff Writer
Water polo continues
to
live
up
to the athletic tradition others
sports have established here at
Marist College.
Over the past few years, Marist
has demonstrated exceptional
athletic ability in some major
sports such
as basketball
and
baseball~ but few know of the
success Marist College has
demonstrated in its
women's
water polo program.
This year the team has accumu-
lated a 25-7 record, which is pro-
gram
record
for
wins.
The Foxes went undefeated in
conference play this year, going
10-0 for the second straight sea-
son.
Marist proved itself earlier this
season by hanging tight with the
No. 14 team in the nation,
Hartwick College. Marist lost by
thtee, but the competition set the
team up for its Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC)
games.
"The out-of-conference play
helped us prepare for
our
confer-
ence opponents this year," head
coach Ashleigh Jacobs said.
The water polo team is current-
ly ranked 12th in the nation in
defense and sixth in offense. In
addition, they received votes in
I
the AP Poll to be one of the Top
20 teams in the nation.
No team would ever get off the
ground without the players, how-
ever. Captains Libby Davis, the
senior goalie,
and Katelin
Mccahill, the junior 2M, have
led this team on offense and
defense.
They are supported by a solid
core, of players in Maggie
Hatcher,
Kristen
Barnett
,
Samantha
Swartz, and Angie
Rampton, who according to
coach
Jacobs
are key players and
major
scorers on this team.
Marist has a solid group of
returning
players next year, 6
upcoming
MAAC
Championships. Marist will face
Siena in the semi-finals this
Saturday at 3 p.m. at home, and
if they defeat Siena, will go on to
the finals at home on Sunday at 2
p.m. against the winner of Iona
vs. Wagner.
"We have a good group of moti-
vated girls," said Jacobs, "and
it's really nice to see all their
hard work and hours with Greg
White
(the
Strength
and
Conditioning Coach) in the gym,
pay-off."

Women's lacrosse drops final home match to Le Moyne
:By
MATT SPILLANE
:News
Co-Editor
In
its last regular season game
:of 2008, the Marist women's
.lacrosse team put forth one of its
:best overall performances of the
;year. With balanced offense,
:aggressive
defense, and consis-
:tent
goaltending, the Red Foxes
:had all facets of their game in
:synch.
To
Marist's dismay,
though,
the
:;same could
be
said for Le
;Moyne. The Dolphins went toe
:to toe with the Red Foxes
~oughout the course of an
:evenly
matched contest,
but
it
:was Le Moyne that ended up
f
with the final tally.
The Dolphins clung to a
one
goal lead for the
final
10:23 of
over Marist on Sunday, April 20,
putting a damper on the Red
Foxes' senior day. Being the la~t
home game of the season, Marist
honored seniors Lindsey Diener,
Liz
Burkhard
,
Ali Carnabuci,
Caitlin Bergin, Jessica O'Brien,
and Kelsey Haggett beforehand.
The senior class led Marist to
was really nice to each other out
there. You could tell there's a lit-
tle rivalry in there."
In
a physical bout, each team
had a controlling half, with Le
Moyne's coming in the second.
Sophomore midfielder Liz
Falco split two Le Moyne
defenders and scored with nine
an 8-8 record this season and the seconds left in the first half to put
second seed in this weekend's'
Metro
Atlantic
Athletic
Conference
(MAAC)
Championship at Iona. The Red
Foxes lost last year's MAAC
title game to
Le
Moyne in a 14-
13 overtime nail biter.
The bitter taste from last year's
loss to the Dolphins carried over
to the teams' matchup last week-
end.
"You could definitely feel the
her team llp 6-5 at the break.
Falco also had the game's first
score earlier in the half, and the
teams proceeded to trade goals
throughout the rest of the period.
Marist would go up one with Le
Moyne quickly tying it.
Marist broke the trend, tallying
the first two goals after halftime.
However, Le Moyne amped up
its transition defense and trig-
gered a four goal
run that
(
:the game for an 11-1
O
victory tension," Diener said. "No one allowtd the Dolphins to take a 9-
8 lead midway through the sec-
ond half.
"We couldn't get the ball safe-
ly into our attacking end," Marist
head coach Tanya Kotowicz said,
"and when we did we rushed
things."
The teams traded a pair of goals
before junior attacker Kate
Noftsker found junior midfielder
Carolyn Sumcizk, who knotted
the score at 10-10 with 12:44 left
in the contest. Le Moyne did not
take long to recapture the lead,
however.
Junior attacker Michelle
Lissner dodged from behind the
cage, drew a double team, and hit
freshman defender Mia Valletta
on the crease for an easy goal.
With 10:23 left, Marist had plen-
ty of time to retake the lead.
The Red Foxes could not get
anything going on offense,
though. Marist's best scoring
opportunity came with 0:10 left
as Le Moyne lost possession and
Falco snagged the loose ball. As
the seconds ticked off the clock,
Falco raced downfield, quickly
faked a defender, and got off a
shot that went just wide of the
net.
Falco finished the contest with
four goals and five groundballs,
while Carnabuci scored twice.
Diener had a goal and an assist
and Burkhard stopped 14 shots
and grabbed two groundballs.
Although the team lost its reg-
ular season finale, Marist still
heads into the MAAC tourna-
ment on a strong note, coming
off a passionate performance
against Le Moyne.
The
Red
Foxes will play third-seeded
Canisius on Friday, April 25, at
noon at Iona.
Marist earned a 15-14 victory
over the Griffs on April 11, and
knows what challenges Canisius
presents. However, the Red
Foxes cannot help looking for-
ward to a potential rematch with
top seed Fairfield. The Stags
defeated Marist 11-10 in over-
time earlier in the year for the
Red Foxes only MAAC lo
.
ss, and
Marist would love a second shot
at them.
"Our head is there
[Canisius],"
Diener said, "but we still have
Fairfield in the back of our
minds."

Marist defense sets pace vs. Providence, Mount St. Mary's
ByCODYLAHL
Staff Writer
A defense that had allowed
upwards of
10
goals a game
~lamped down this week to
secure Marist mens lacrosse's
first victory and first winning
streak of the season. At the other
end of the field, the Red Foxes'
offense was propelled by sopho-
tnore attack Ryan Sharkey's two
goals and one assist in their
7-6
win over Providence. Freshman
attack Corey Zindel's three goals
(luring their 6-5 double-overtime
win over Mount Saint Mary's
sparked the team.
On Wednesday, April
16,
the
Red Foxes used a five goal sec-
ond quarter and 12 save perform-
ance by junior goalie Ryan
Penner to outlast Providence
7-6.
During the second quarter, the
Red Foxes would make use of a
~
minute equipment penalty on
the Friars' Thomas Wenskus to
net three consecutive man-up
goals. Sharkey assisted senior
attack Pat VanHall with the first
at the
14: 17
mark to even the
~coi;e at 1-1. Zindel would assist
sophomore Matt Francis with the
go-ahead
goal
with
13:48
temaining. Seventeen seconds
later, VanHall assisted sopho-
more attack Matt Teichmann in
extending Marist's lead to 3-1.
Providence would cut Marist's
lead to 3-2 on a goal by Devin
McBride at th~
6: 17
mark; how--
ever, senior Pete O'Hara and
Sharkey would answer with
goals of their own at the 3:49 and
2:02 marks, respectively, to
extend Marist's lead to
5-2
enter-
ing the third quarter.
After a third quarter that saw
each team record a goal, the
Friars would make a desperate
fourth
quarter comeback attempt
in which they would outscore
Marist 3-1, out-shoot Marist 12-
7
and go a perfect
6-6
on clears.
However, Zindel would assist
Sharkey in netting Marist's even-
tual
game-winning goal at the
5:53 mark and the Red Foxes
would hold on to earn their first
victory of the year.
Marist head coach James
Simpson expressed satisfaction
with his team's performance
against Providence.
"It
felt fantastic to put together
a solid
60
minute performance,"
Simpson said, "This is great for
the guys and their confidence."
In
the second game of the
week,
the Red Foxes outlasted
Mount Saint Mary's to earn a
6-5
double-overtime
victory
on
Saturday, April 19. Again, the
Red Foxes defense put forth a
solid effort by spreading five
Mount Saint Mary's goals over
the course of regulation play
while holding the Mountaineers
without a shot in either overtime.
Mount Saint Mary's would
record the game's first points
during a man-up opportunity
when Joe Derwent assisted Dan
Mohr in giving the Mountaineers
a
1-0
lead at the
10:11
mark.
Marist would answer
4:11
later
when junior defensive midfielder
Matt Schunk assisted Zindel in
evening the score at 1-1. Marist
took its first lead of the contest,
2-1, 5:48 later when Teichmann
netted
an
unassisted goal.
Mount Saint Mary's tied the
game at
2-2
when Dan Mohr was
assisted by Jon Rodrick in find-
ing the back of the net 3: 14 into
the second quarter. Seven min-
utes later, Zindel would notch his
second goal of the contest to give
the Red Foxes the lead, 3-2.
However, Mohr would record his
second goal of the contest at the
2:05
mark to tie the score at
3-3
going into the second half.
Over the course of the first half,
Marist was able to outshoot the
Mountaineers 20-17 and record
16
ground balls to Mount Saint
Mary's eight while senior defen-
sive midfielder Dan Needle went
a perfect 8-8 on face-off
attempts.
Marist would record the only
goal of the third quarter as Zindel
would tally his third and final
goal of the match on a cross-net
feed from junior Paul Santavicca
at the
6:01
mark. Freshman
attack Ryan McNiemey would
extend Marist's lead to 5-3 at the
9:19 mark of the fourth quarter.
However, Mount Saint Mary
'
s
constructed a last minute come-
back where Joe Derwert assisted
Geery Grant in cutting the Red
Foxes' lead to one with
00:41
seconds left before notching an
unassisted goal of his own with
00:06
remaining to tie the game,
5-5,
and force overtime.
After an evenly played first
overtime, Santavicca was assist-
ed by Teichmann in making the
most of a Mountaineers
30
sec-
ond holding penalty committed
at the end of the first overtime to
record the game-ending goal
14
seconds into the second over-
time. Santavicca's goal gave
Marist its second victory of the
year and secured the Red Foxes'
first winning streak of the sea-
son.
Marist Head Coach James
Simpson attributes the Red
Foxes' recent defensive perform-
ances to multiple aspects of their
game.
"We preach team offense and
team defense," Simpson said.
"We made a few personnel
changes, guys stepped up, we
have great leadership from our
seniors and we received great
stops from our keeper."
Marist will look forward to
playing at home against Wagner
on Saturday, April 26 at 1 p.m.
