Sharp, To~nsend trying to enlist members
By
MORGAN NEDERHOOD
Circle Staff
Earlier this month, the men's
basketball game versus Loyola
College was sold out. The foot-
ball team won the MAAC
Championship, and the field's
wooden bleachers are being
replaced.
Now standing by the
teams is another addition to
Marist athletics: the School
Spirit Committee.
According to Todd Bivona, the
vice president of Athletic Affairs
for the Student Government
Associaticm (SGA), "The School
Spirit Committee is a committee
set up by the Senate of the
Student Government Association
to promote all ofMarist's Varsity
Athletic Programs and help mar-
ket the teams, the athletes, and
invoke a tremendous amount of
school spirit through not only the
campus, but the surrounding
communities."
Alicia Sharp, 2009 class presi-
dent and class of 2010 president
Steve Townsend are responsible
for the establishment and are the
current committee heads for the
group.
"The School Spirit Committee
was fonned due ~o the need of
unified school soirit amonl?:
Marist students at athletic
events," Sharp said.
"It
will be
responsible for encouraging
attendance at all athletic events,
and for a unified representation
of our spirit to encourage our fel-
low classmates during games
and matches."
-
While details about the club are
still under consideration, Bivona,
Sharp, and Townsend have
already generated event ideas. A
school spirit week has been pro-
posed form February 19th_ 23rd_
Each day would have a theme
such as Jersey Day, 80's Day,
and Marist Hoodie Day.
Spirit Committee members will
also be able to travel to select
games, said Sharp.
"The athletic department has
already arranged for bus trips to
the upcoming MAAC tourna-
ment in Bridgeport Connecticut
in the beginning or'March."
The committee heads said
would also like to pursue travel
arrangements for additional
games. The committee's leaders
"will most certainly make the
best effort to seek out and budg-
et sufficient moneys to be able to
accommodate many students to
road contests," Bivona said
Prior to the creation of the spir-
it committee a similar group, the
Booster Club, attempted to gen-
erate school spirit. for athletics.
The club's leaders were sched-
uled to appear before the Senate
in order to seek a club status.
"Unfortunately, there were a
few miscommunications among
other unfortunate events that
[prevented] this from happen-
ing," said Sharp. "At this point,
myself and class president Steve
Townsend saw a need for leader-
ship and created this commit-
tee."
Although officially off the
ground and running, the commit-
tee is not yet holding meetings.
"Once the committee gets off
the ground and closer to club sta-
tus
there will be meetings at least
once a month, as well as other
meetings, as seen necessary
according to the need of support
for our teams," Sharp said.
Additionallv. the committee
does not currently have any offi-
cial
officers' pc,11ition1
yet.
Bivona said he has a copy of
club bylaws so positions can be
advertised and possibly elected.
According to Sharp, though, the
primary concern at the moment
is generating overall member-
ship for the committee.
"As of right now we are just
trying to get the new committee
off its feet, collecting people
who are interested in member-
ship and taking it from there,"
she said.
The committee's creators are
also looking to remodel the name
of the group. Possibilities are the
Marist
Maniacs,
Shooter's
Shenanigans,
and
McCann
Maniacs. Students with other
ideas are encouraged to present
their suggestions, according to
Sharp.
"If
anyone has any other ideas,
please contact us, as we are very
open to suggestions," she said.
Volleyball setter Dawn Jan said
that she is interested in the com-
mittee, and feels it will help the
athletic department.
"A major part of college is the
athletics, so I'm not surprised
that someone is forming some-
thing about spirit."
Kasey Nagle, a wide receiver
on the football team, said he
feels there is a strong relation-
ship between athletes and fans,
but game attendance is some-
times low, that "there are defi-
nitely some games where we
have' low attendance."
Nagle, Jan, Bivona, and Sharp
all named men's basketball as
the most popular sport on cam-
pus.
"By far, men's basketball has
the largest fan base, based on
sold out crowds at the McCann
Center," said Bivona. "However,
football will see a drastic
increase with the newly renovat-
ed bleachers. Women's basket-
ball would be second right now."
"Winning draws a lot of atten-
tion," added Nagle. Between
winning
the
MAAC
Championship and the addition
of new stadiwn seating, he said
feels the football team will see
larger crowds like the men's bas-
ketball team.
"I
think
we '11 be
there," he said.
Despite low attendance at some
sporting events, Bivona said he
believes
the
new
Spirit
Committee will help cement a
solid
relationship
between
Marist students and athletics.
"The new committee and/or
club
will
do nothing but positive-
ly impact Marist athletics. From
marketing all of the varsity pro-
grams,
increasing
fan base-,
increasing student awareness
about all of our athletes, spon-
soring bus trips to road games,
leading in new chants, cheers,
and jeers for the opponents, it
will increase fan participation
and create a true college atmos-
phere and our home games, espe-
cially during our
peak
season
now of basketball," he said.

Rape does hurt
:
A
reaction to a not-so-funny satire on rape
By
MICH
E
U
E
FA
BE
R
Ci
r
cle Contributor
When
I
was an editor of my high school news-
paper,
I
was always taught that people cannot
read
,
sarcasm easily.
It was simple: according to
my
journalism teacher,
when
it
comes to satiri~
cal
writing, there is a level
'Of
sophistication not
easily attained for young writers. It is easy to be
sarcastic in front of someone's face and have
them
understand your meaning,
but
written
sar-
casm is a somewhat racy
task for
a
journalist to
take.
The reason
I
mention this is because of
the
recent uproar over an
article published in last
week's issue of the Central Connecticut
University's newspaper,
The
Recordt:r
.
Opinion
Editor
-
John Petroski wrote an
article
entitled
"Rape Only Hurts
If
You Fight
If'
published in
the February 7th
,
2007 issue of The Recorder.
This article talks about rape and its "benefits" to
s
oc1
e
t)
.
Petroski talks about how rape
j
-
a
"mag-
ical experience" and
how
it should not be
looked at as a homble crime
.
The
worse
part of this article 1
s
when Petroski
talks about "ugly women." H
e
write
~
. "Take
ugly women for examp
l
e.
If it
weren't for rape,
ho\\'
•
would they
ever
know the
.
_1ny
s
of
inter
_,
course ~ith a man who isn't drunk." He
.
also
talks about prisoners and how th
e
y should enjoy
being raped because there
is
nothing better to
do
with their time
in prison
.
This article
is
an absolute abomination.
First
of all, Petroski has no right to publish something
he
claims as satire
when
in
actuality,
there
is no
plJIP0Se behind his so
-
called satirical piece
about rape. Satire is only satire
if
something can
be learned from
it
I learned absolutely nothing
from this piece, except for the fact that this kid

Second

-
paper that let this piece be publish
e
d? Don't get
me wrong,

am all for
our
first amendment
rights and I realize that Petroski
has
the right to
say the things he says, but this piece should
not
have been published. There is
no
reason behind
this article except
_
for the fact that Petroski was
probably bored with himself
and
wanted
to
gain
fifteen minutes of fame by writing something
that he knew would cause controversy.
Obviously this
plan worked because I am so dis-
gusted with this article that
I
feel the need
to
write about
him in our newspaper. The stir that
this
kid caused is upsetting so many students;
that
there are even numerous Facebook groups
against
him.
Also, did Petroski think of his audience as he
wrote this? This is a college newspaper! College
students get raped!
I
cannot imagine how upset
-
ting
this would have been to read
1f I
had
ever
experienced rape
.
Why publish
an
article
that
1s
directly going to hurt so many people?
He is
directly making
fun
of probab
l
y the most fright
-
ening, emotionally-damaging experience of
these people's lives
,
No
matter what Petroski was attempting
to
accomplish
with
this grotesque article, most
can
agree that this piece is offensive, especially
to
women. As
I read this article
in
horror
,
I really
hoped that it
was
sarcastic. It was
so
insane
that
I
could not believe anyone would actually ,,
,
rite
these things and mean them.
I hope that you
will
read Petroski's article for
yourself so that you can formulate your own
opinion on the subject. In my view,
"'

backstage during the shows. Karl Lagerfield, the
notorious fashion snob and mastermind behind
Chanel, termed these regulations, "politically cor-
rect fascism." He is quoted in Women's Wear
Daily as saying that he does not choose models
based on their weight, but instead he focuses on
r
their "personal style and memorable face." And all

'
veniently emaciated!

Lagerfield is not alone in his opposition these

regulations. Most designers are resentful that the
1
CDFA is threatening what they see as their artistic
:
license and that they are being blamed for perpetu-
ating the image of the "heroin chic" girl. Models
:
are also fearful of losing their jobs. I have to say, I
,
understand where they are coming from. No one
i
wants to be blamed for causing other people's tur-
moil or to be disciplined in a creative field.
,
Nonetheless, the CDFA needs to follow the lead of
'
its foreign counterparts and put its Jimmy Choo-
•
clad foot down.
l
I was fortunate enough to volunteer at several
l
shows this Fashion Week. With this article in
:
mind, I paid special attention to more than just the
I
:
clothes. As each model strutted by, I was almost
!
nauseated by their frail physique. Even squished in
:
the very back of the room (we volunteers aren't
:
exactly A-list celebrities,) it was obvious that these
I
1
girls were more than just skinny. I am used to see-
:
ing them on television or on the pages of a maga-
;
zine; if the camera adds ten pounds, do the subtrac-
;
tion and imagine what they look like in real life.
At the Charles Nolan show, the designer mixed
the models with what the production staff was
referring to as "real people." "Real" was no mis-
nomer. These individuals, who I assumed were
family and close friends of Mr. Nolan, certainly did
look much more realistic than the models. The
skin and bones walking among these real people
could have vanished into thin air. If it weren't for
-~
the exquisite clothes and unexpected color combi-
nations, the "unreal" people would have seemed
like walking shadows.
Cleaning up after the shows, I got the unique
opportunity to go backstage, where the makeup
artists and hair gurus work their m~gic. Tables lin-
ing the back of the tent were overflowing with plat-
ters of food. A few pieces of fruit looked like they ·
had been nibbled upon, but for the most part even
'the
salad was left uneaten and the pasta complete-
ly abandoned. All of this supposed sustenance for
the models was eventually dumped into the
garbage.
Scattered everywhere, however, were
empty glass bottles of Moet champagne; so much
for no drinking. A publicist at the Nicole Romano
show told the New York Post, "At our first show,
we had catering backstage, but the models didn't
eat. So at our [next show], we're not even going to
be bothering with catering - we're just having
champagne, water and energy drinks." Clearly the
CDF A's "suggestions" are not solving the problem
on hand.
Why this emaciated appearance is considered
attractive, I do not know. I used to think that thin
girls were used on the runway in order to put the
focus on only the clothing, their thin frames giving
the effect of clothes dangling from a hanger.
Maybe this was once the case, but it has now gone
too far. Fashion is no longer available to only a
small portion of the population. Pop culture, like
the show Ugly Betty, has introduced it to everyone.
In a way this is wonderful, as fashion is a beautiful
and constantly changing art form. However, I fear
the repercussions. Unless stricter regulations are
set, there will only be more and more body related
issues and tragic events. Fashion should be contro-
versial because of daring and innovative design;
the CDFA needs to place the focus back on the
clothing by protecting the models. Generations of
women will thank them.

Oscar guest list

Staff Writer
Oscar time is not who

nom-
Little Miss Sunshine
In our lives, we make lists. We
think of what we want, what we
·need,
or what is important to us,
and we quickly jot it down on.
We take these lists and imprint
them
in
our minds
-
a mental
note meant to signify our
hopes
and dreams. And be it a shopping
list or a Christmas one, our lives
are defined by them.
·
So when I first thought about
what to write about in a column,
the answer seemed
simple -
a
list. But instead of
writing
down
milk and bread on a post-it and
calling it journalism, the list fea-
tured in this column will' be more
extensive.
From now on, weekly,
I
will compile a Top Ten list fea~
turing any aspect of film or tele-
vision
.
Some will be
simple
rankings, some will be news sto-
ries. It all depends on the flow of
the entertainment world that
week.
And as always this time of year,
the current flow of the entertain-
ment world seems to be all about
awards season. From the just-
held Golden Globe Awards to the
upcoming Oscars, tabloid maga-
zines and couch potatoes are
buzzing
about who will
win,
who will wear what, who will

So to
kickoff the Top Ten list, let's

BEST
SUPPORTING
ACTRESS -
Blythe Danner -
The Last Kiss
I'll admit
it -
this was a tie
between three very talented
actresses, in very different per-
formances. While they all played
mothers, Toni Collette, Annette
Bening, and Danner all brought
something different to their
roles.
In
Little Miss
Sunshine,
Collette perfected the daily bal-
ancing act of work, family, and
marriage that plagues most
women today. Annette Bening
proved herself once again wor-
thy of a nomination for her role
in
Running
with
Scissors
,
creat-
ing a
sympathetic character
out
of what could
easily
have been a
cartoon. So what made Danner's
performance stick out in my
mind'?
It
should have been a
throw-away
performance.
I
mean, she didn't even play the
mother of the main character
-
any actress over
50
could have
phoned that in. But through her
versatility,
her
frailty,
and her
raw emotional
energy,
Danner
stole the movie
straight
from
under the feet of her twenty-
something costars. Portraying a
woman on the verge of breaking,
Danner injected life
into
dia-
logue that fell flat
coming
frem
lesser actresses, and
in
my book,
that deserves'recognition.
9) BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR -
In
Little Miss Sunshine,
Carell
plays the recently fired, recently
heartbroken, recent suicide-
attempting gay uncle of the little
miss
in
question. And yet, Carell
still manages
to
give the funniest
performance in the movie. By
finding the comedy so subtly
hidden in such a dramatic role,
and
showing
versatility beyond
the confines of "The Office" and
The
40 lear
Old Virgin,
Carell
deserved a nomination.
8) BEST PICTURE -
Children of
Men
Maybe the concept was too
ahead of its time. Maybe the
view of the future was too bleak.
Maybe audiences thought they
knew what they were getting
when they say Julianne Moore
and Clive Owen listed on the
marquee. Whatever the reason
was,
Children of Men
was not
hailed as one of the five best
films of the year. And with out-
standing
performances, brilliant
direction, and a hopefully imag-
ined
dark image of America's
outlook, let us hope that it was at
least number six.

Meryl Streep

her underlings scurrying around

be directed at ber flowing

right? Wrong. Instead,
your
eyes
are transfixed to the British born
Blunt, speedily preparing for
Miranda's imminent arrival, all
while inserting a caustic com-
ment along the way.

Matt Damon
- The Departed
The cast list of
The Departed
reads like a who's who of
acting
greats:
Jack
Nicholson,
Leonardo
DiCaprio,
Matt
Damon, Alec Baldwin, Martin
Sheen, and Mark Wahlberg. Yet,
the only acting nomination came
for Wahlberg. There seems to be
something wrong with that sen-
tence.

I won't lie, I just wanted to hear
the speech if he won. Oh, and it
was a good performance, too.

BEST PICTURE
-
Dreamgirls
It was a screen adaptation of the
stage play.
It
was Beyonce's first
leading role. It boasted an all-
star supporting cast, and an
Academy-Award winning direc-
tor. Yet, while
Dreamgir/s
man-
aged to lead the field with 8
nominations, the biggest one
eluded it. Maybe it was the
rumors of catfights on the set.
Maybe
it
was backlash against
yet another
Chicago.
Maybe
something
was lost in the transi-
tion from stage to screen.
I
don't
know what it was
-
only the
Academy voters know for sure.
Clockwise
from top left:
Leonardo
Dicaprio in "Blood Diamond" ;
•
Maggie
Gyllenhaal in "Sherrybaby"; Meryl Streep In "The Devil Wears
•
Prada"; Matt Damon In "The Departed." While
Dicaprio
and Streep
,
both
received Oscar nominations, Damon and Gyllenhaal's performanc-
es
failed to sway the Academy to Include them in the nominees.

The Marist women's basketball
team won its twelfth consecutive
game on Sunday with a 68-47
win over Siena at the Alumni
Recreation Center. The win
improved the Red Foxes to
21-4
overall and an undefeated 14-0

Conference(MAAC)
play.
With a four game lead in the
standi~
·with four -gartleS

play, N1arist has guaranteed a tie
for first place in the
conference.
After a close game for most of
the first half, Marist took a three
point lead with 5:56 left in the
first half, and never gave up the
lead for the rest of the
game.
After
going
into the locker
room up by
six,
Marist began the
second half on a 13-2 run. The
Saints made a comeback by
slic-
ing the lead to eight
after a
Marist
scoring
drought over the
next 4:23.
Once
they got
back on track,
Marist outscored Siena 41-26 in
the
second
half. The
21-point
victory was the Red
Foxes
ninth
straight
win by double digits,
and the eleventh out of their 12
game winning streak.
Freshman Rachele Fitz led the
team with 21 points,'
ali
of which
came in the second half of play.
Fitz was clutch at the line, shoot-
ing 9-for-9 and also hitting six of
her seven shots from the field.
Meg Dahlman had a big game
with her third double-double of
the season. Her 16 points came
from
7-of-10 shooting.

The MAAC
season
opening
re-
match
of
last year's Metro
Atlantic
Athletic Conference
(MAAC) quarterfinals between
Marist
0
and St. Peter's
resulted in
similar
fashion.
Last spring,
the
Red
Foxes
won decisively,
6-1.
On
Feb.
11,
2007,
they won
even
more decisively,
7-0.
Junior
Erin Godly
led the
way
winning
first singles
6-0,
6-2.
The
inaugural
women's
tennis
MAAC player of the
week and
the

continued right where she
left off the
previous week
versus
Colgate where she won 6-0, 6-0
at third
singles
and
8-5
in dou-
bles with
classmate Christine
Ong.
Ong
took
out
her opponent,
Angels Wiggs,
6-1, 6-1 at second
singles
.
Ong
teamed
with Godly
again in
first
doubles
action
and
triumphed once more winning
resoundingly, 8-2.
The closest match of
the
day
came at
third
singles where sen-
ior
Megan
Gureck
went the limit
and then some with Kristy
Bonner.
After
dropping the first
set
1-6 to Bonner,
Gu.reek
took
the
second set 6-2.

at

set

their
third set
kept

and six assists
.
Marist Red Foxes coach Matt
Brady said the nomination was
not unexpected and it was no sur-
prise because of Jordan's stellar
play this year.
"We
expected that Jared would
make it to this point in the vot-
ing, but hopefully he can make it
to the last five or seven," Brady
said.
"He
has a good
chance,
but
playing in a smaller conference
diminishes his chances."
Jordan will also attempt to
become the first player since cur-
rent Dallas Mavericks head
coach Avery Johnson to lead the
nation in assists twice. Johnson
averaged 10.74 assists per game
in the
.
1986-87 season while
playing at Southern University
and then followed that season
with
13 .3 assists per game.
The closest Iona would get to
Marist was three points when the
score was 5-2, but Jordan went
on to score seven straight poirits
and Marist shot 55.6 per cent in
the first half and would go into
the locker room with a 42-25
lead.
Marist would continue their
domination in the second half, as
they closed out the game win-
ning by 26, the largest Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference
(MAAC) victory for the Red
Foxes since their 89-61 win over
St. Peter's on Feb. 21, 2002.
The Red
Foxes'
best work on
Sunday afternoon came on the
defensive end, where the team
held Iona to a 41.3 field goal per-
centage and also forced 14
Gaels' turnovers.
Marist also
boasted an impressive 43-29
rebound advantage, with James
Smith grabbing a game-high
seven rebounds.
Iona's best
offensive performances came
from Milan Prodanovic and John
Kelly, both notching
IO points
apiece.
Another bright spot for the Red
Foxes was the strong play from
red-shirt junior forward Ryan
Stilphen. Stilphen has continued
to play well since returning from
an MCL injury on Jan. 20 at
Canisius. He pitched in 10 points
and grabbed five boards against
the Gaels Sunday.
"Ryan is
the rock of our team
and every day in and out he gives
you everything he has," Brady
said. "He is the most effective
post player on the team."
The Red Foxes also got strong
play from their bench, which
contributed
28
points,
including
eight from sophomore Gerald
Carter and two from junior Joe
Keegan. Those were Keegan's
fi~st career points.
The bench will be critical to the
team's success and Coach Brady
echoed the need for their pres-
ence from here on out.
"The bench will be a huge part
of any success we have going
forward,"
Brady
said.
"Every
guy has stepped up, but the key is
they have to be consistent."
The rout against Iona improved
Marist's MAAC record to 11-4
and their overall record to
19-
7.
As it stands now, Marist
is
in
sole possession of first place in
the MAAC thanks to a 67-59
Fairfield victory over Loyola.
The Red Foxes hold the advan-
tage down the stretch over sec-
ond place Loyola, due to Marist
having three out of their final
four games in the McCann
Center. Loyola wiJI play their
last three games on the road.
The Red Foxes will be back in
action on Saturday, Feb. 17 at
7:30 p.m. when the take on the
Colgate Raiders in an O'Reilly
BracketBuster match-up.

artd Stdny
Brook the best he has seen his
team play, the
Foxes
put on
yet
another impressive showing,
downing visiting Binghamton
4-
3
Saturday.
Coach Tim
Smith said this was
another
irµpressive
win
for the
team.
"This
is the
second
week in a
row we've beaten a team
in
the
top 15 in our region
of
84
teams," Smith said.
The Foxes and
Bearcats
split
six singles
and two doubles
matches
down the middle, with
Marist's
second
doubles team
of
senior Ray Josephs and junior
Greg
Marks winning the decid-
ing match 9-8 (8-6). The pair
downed Binghamton's Pierre
Clave}
and Jon Bonnet to give
Marist its
second consecutive
dual
victory
of the still young
spring season.
In
singles action, senior Pedro
Genovese
fell
at the hands of
Faisal Mohamed in a hard-
fought match at first
singles, 6-4,
7-5.
Smith said
Genovese
is still
if
Wott<t#1brH°6;\l~ss:
"I
don't
feel
he is playing at the
level
he can and
should,"
Smith
said of
Genovese. "He is
a senior
and the most
experienced player
on our team, and I'm looking
forward
to his
continuing
improvement."
Freshman
Loic Sessagesimi of
Switzerland
and
classmate
Christian Coley
both picked up
victories in second and
third
sin-
gles,
respectively. Sessagesimi
dominated
Clave!
at
second sin-
gles 6-0, 6-1, contir~uing
his
exceptional rookie campaign.
Coley, who sat out
the fall season
with an injury, split his first two
sets with Binghamton's Alex
Dobrin by scores of 6-2, 4-6,
before picking up the win with a
6-4
victory
in the third set.
The Foxes' other singles win
came from senior Federico
Rolon at sixth
singles,
where he
disposed of David Schneider
6-2,
6-1.
Marks fell to Bonnet 6-4, 6-3 at
fourth singles, and Josephs, who
Smith calls the
"Mail
Man,"
retired after a first set
7-6
loss to
Reina Kohtake in order to nurse
an arm
injury.
"[Josephs]
realized the match
had
already
been won," Smith
said. "His arm was hurting and
he
wanted
to save it for future
matches. I'm sure if we needed
him, the Mail Man would have
come through
."
.
The
Foxes
have a two and a
half week break before they trav-
el
to Jersey
City,
looking for
their third dual match
victory of
the spring, and second MAAC
victory
of the overall season,

DeMarco led the Red
Foxes
by
breaking
two school
records

DeMarco
broke
his
own school
record
in the
400-meter
dash.
His
two-year-old record
in the
event
was 49.64 seconds;
but
that was
eclipsed
on
Friday with a
time
of
49.1
7
seconds. The senior cap-
tain also broke
Mike McCarthy's
IO-year-old record of
23.12 sec-
011ds in the 200-meter dash
which
was set in 1997. DeMarco
broke
that
record
with
a time of
22.75
seconds. DeMarco also
qualified
for the
IC4A Indoor
Track & Field Championships
with his
performance
in the
400-
meter
dash.
Pete Colaizzo,
head
coach,
men's track
coach,
had
good
things to
say about his senior
captain.
"Brian's having a great senior
year," Colaizzo said. "He
had
a
lot
of records coming
into
the
year and
h
e's
been able
to
expand
on them.
His work ethic
is
amazing."
DeMarco wasn't the only one
breaking
records for
the Red
Foxes.
Senior
captain
Pat
Carroll
also
broke
McCarthy's
10-year
old record
in
the
200-meter
dash,
running
a personal best
time
of
23.04 seconds.
Continuing
the impressive per-
formances by
the
senior captains,
Mike Bamberger ran
a
Marist
-
season best in
the
800-meter run.
He also qualified for
the IC4A
Championships
in the
even
with
his time
of
1
:54.42.
The seniors
weren't the only
ones to
impr
ess
on Friday.
Sophomore
David
.
Raucci
ran a
Marist
season-best
in the
3,000-
meter run
with a
time
of 8:36.61.
Sophomores Kris Geist, John
Keenan and Alex Emerel also
ran personal bests
in
their
respective events. Geist came in
at
4:24.41 in the mile
run,
while
Keenan
had
a time of 8~57.82 in
the
3,000
meter run
.
In
the
5,000

run,
Emere

came
in
with a
time
under 16

for
the
first
time, running
the
race
in
15

In the
55
-
meter dash, freshman
Everett Butler tied the school
record in only
his
first attempt at
the
event with a
time
of 6
.
63 sec-
onds.
This
equaled
Rob
DeAngelo's mark
in
the
event,
which he set in
2004.
Butler
also
broke
another
one of DeAngelo's
records earlier
-
in the winter by
beating his
time
in the>
60-meter
dash.
Freshman Conor Shelley came
in with a
personal
best in the
mile run with a time of 4

Asked what their
strategy
was
heading into the meet,
Colaizzo
said, "We
wanted to
spread
our
athletes out as best
we
could to
get as
many
points as we could
overall
and I think
we
did that
pretty well."

Marist to take on second place Loyola
Foxes can clinch regular
season
title with win
By ERIC ZEDALIS
Co-Sports
Editor
The first place and undefeated
Marist Red Foxes (14-0) travel to
Baltimore, Md. to take on Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference
(MAAC) foe Loyola (10-4; sec-
ond place in the MAAC) this
Friday night, Feb. 16 at 7 p.m.
The last time these two teams
met was in the conference open-
er back on Dec. 8.
·The
first half
featured seven lead changes and
nine ties, but Marist pulled away
in the second half to win 60-50.
Since that time, an already
competitive Loyola team added a
transfer from the University of
Pittsburgh, Vika Sholokhova.
The
Russian
junior center
became eligible for the second
half of the season.
Given this
information,
head
coach Brian Giorgis said this
could very well be the toughest
game Marist plays before the
I
tournament.
'They gave us a tough time up
here [at home], and they've
added a transfer from Pitt, who's
their second-leading scorer right
now and leading rebounder,"
Giorgis said. "I expect it to be a
great game."
Additionally, Giorgis said the
Red Foxes have to contend with
the ever-growing "bulls-eye"
Marist has inadvertently earned
with all its success this year and
in years past.
"We have the
'bulls-eye'
on our
back, and it gets bigger with
every win," he said. "Especially
with [Loyola] being tied for sec-
ond pla.ce. They're a very emo-
tional team to begin with, so I'm
sure they'll be up for
this
one."
According to Giorgis, the con-
ference's leading scorer, Jill
Glessner, is undoubtedly antici-
pating
this
rematch
since
Marist's Alisa Kresge held her to
four points on 2-13 shooting the
last time
around.
"I'm sure [Glessner•~ perform-
ance] last time will motivate her
this time," he said.
"She's,
right
now, the leading overall scorer in
the
conference.
Hopefully
Kresge can do a good job on her
again."
Although, Sholokhova could be
the "X-factor" in this game
since
it seems Giorgis and the Red
Foxes know little about her.
"We
don't know that much
.about
her other than that she's a
foreign kid from Russia who
played at Pitt and transferred,"
he said.
"[She's
a] thick person
who's a very good rebounder,
strong inside player, and has a
nice shooting touch
·
from
15-17
feet."
What Giorgis and the team
does know, however, is that
Loyola does a great job of get-
ting to the foul line.
1n
just the
first half of these two teams' first
meeting, there were 24 fouls.
"They
get to the free-throw
line
more than anybody else in the
league,
and that's one
thing
we're going
to
have to keep
them
from doing," be said.
The Red Foxes' three
remain-
ing
games after the Loyola
games are home against Rider, at
Iona, and and
then
back home for
Fairfield. The MAAC tourna-
ment starts on Mar.

The Marist men's swimming

MAAC championship in as
many years on Saturday on the
campus of Loyola College.
:
Marist finished the three-day
tournament with 797 points.
Rider University came in second
place with 684.5 points, while
Loyola finished in third with
574.5 points.

After the first day of the tour-
ttament, Rider held a .5 point
lead over Marist. By the end of
the second day, the Red Foxes

;
Head coach Larry VanWagner
was not worried about trailing
,-Uder after day one.
:
"We had four swimmers out of
the possible 13 that had not
t
swum an event yet," Van Wagner
said. "We had more potential
scorers going in to the second
and third day, and that's why you
saw the difference of going in a
half point down to taking a 1
I
3
point lead."
Senior Pat Collins and junior
Greg Jablonski keyed the Marist
effort to victory on the third day
of the tournament. Collins won
the 100-yard :freestyle by finish-
ing in 45.70 seconds. Jablonski
set the school record in the 200-
yard breaststroke with a time of
2:04.60 while finishing in second
place.
In diving, junior Devon
O'Nalty took second place on the
one-meter board.
Freshman
Mitchell Katz took a fourth place
finish and was followed by jun-
ior Jesus Santos who finished in
fifth.
Junior
John
Luboja fin-
ished in seventh.
Heading into the championship
short-handed, Van Wagner relied
on the upperclassmen to lead the
team throughout the weekend.
"Of the 16 swimmers, we had
three walk-ons that we knew
were probably not going to score
any points, so the number of
potential point scorers was
reduced
down
to
1
7,"
Van Wagner said. "We had such
a tremendous upper-class, partic-
ularly our senior class that could
take the burden of getting us
through the three-day champi-
onship."
The Red Foxes opened the sec-
ond day by taking the top three
spots in the 1,000-yard freestyle.
Sophomore Spencer Hartmann
took first place with a time of
9:39.39. Junior Ralph Rienzo
finished in second by swimming
in a time of 9:40.61 while Senior
Nick Chevalier rounded out the
top three with a time of 9:49.66.
According to Van Wagner, the
1,000-yard freestyle was the
turning point of the tournament.
"We went from being down
half a point to being up by 53
points in one single event,"
Van Wagner said.
Collins, senior Will Shearouse,
Rienzo and Jablonski finished
the tournament for Marist by
winning the 400-yard freestyle

History against Colgate
This will be the eighth contest
between these two New York
schools, with the Red Foxes
holding the all-time advantage
5-
2.
The last time these two
schools met was during the
fepsi-Marist Classic during the
2002-2003 season.
The Red
Foxes won this meeting by a
score of 72-65.
In that game the Red Foxes
were led by Brandon Ellerbee
who scored a career high 15
points while dishing out 6
assists. Nick
·
Eppehimer grabbed
a game-high IO rebounds for the
Red Foxes.
The Raiders have lost four of
five games played at the McCann
Center.
The Game
Colgate comes into this game
with a record of 9-14 and 4-6 in
the Patriot League. There 4-6
mark in the conference is good
enough .for fourth place out of
eight teams. The Raiders are led
by senior point guard Jon Simon
who averages 13.3 points per
game. Junior guard Kyle Chones
leads the team in rebounding
with 3.9 boards per contest.
Despite Colgate's poor record
Marist head coach Matt Brady
thinks this will be a challenge for
his squad.
"This is definitely going to be
a challenge for us," Brady said.
"They are led by a solid senior
point guard and are playing in a
good coaches league. They have
also lost a couple of close games,
which doesn't help them either."
Junior forward Ben Farmer had
very similar comments to that of
his coach.
"All I l!'eally know about
Colgate is that they come from a
very good league," Farmer said.
"Their league is respected
around the country."
In order for the Red Foxes to
win this game they will have to
rely on their high powered
offense. Through 25 games this
season the Red Foxes are averag-
ing 75 points per game, which is
second in the Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC).
On the other hand, Colgate is
only averaging 57.5 points per
game, which is dead last in the
Patriot League.
Knowing that his team has the
obvious
scoring
advantage,
Coach Brady said he will look to
push the tempo at home.
"In
this game we are going to
try arid push the tempo especial-
ly since we are at home
,
" Brady
said. "By pushing the tempo we
hope to make Colgate uncom-
fortable."
Another key area that the Red
Foxes have an advantage is the
size match-up
.
Marc Daniels,
the starting center for Colgate, is
listed at 6'8", while Marist sen-
ior center James Smith is listed at
7'0".
Coach Brady commented on
trying to put the ball into the lane
more often.
·
"During every game we are
always looking to get baskets in
the lane," Brady said.
"If
we are
able to get baskets in the low
post then that will make us hard-
er to guard on the perimeter."
BracketBuster
Concept
The concept for the O'Reilly
ESPNU BracketBuster started
back in 2003 .. During its first
year the BracketBuster weekend
featured 18 teams from around
the country trying to prove them-
selves to the NCAA Selection
committee. The purpose of these
games was to simply provide the
NCAA March Madness tourna-
ment with better caliber teams.
Over the past four years the
tournament has grown from just
18 teams to 1 00 this season. Out
of those I 00 games 14 games
will be broadcasted nationally on
the ESPN family of networks.
Junior forward Ben Farmer
said the BracketBuster idea is a
good one.
"The idea of BracketBuster
weekend is great," Farmer said.
"It
gives mid-major schools a
chance to show themselves and
prove they can play with the big-
ger conferences come tourna-
ment time."
