Panel leads
AIDS talk
By
JAMES MARCONI
News Editor
On
Monday night, a frank
,
panel discussion with three peo-
ple living with AIDS marked the
arrival of twelve sections of the
AIDS Memorial Quilt at Marist.
The colorful segments, a tribute
to those who have died from
AIDS complications, will hang
in the Rotunda until Thursday
evening.
"It's about living," said Cornell
Davis, one of the panelists. "We
live
our
lives as normal people.
Anything, with perseverance,
can be overcome."
FOUNDED IN

Though Davis displayed con-
siderable optimism
,
statistics in a
slide show presented during the
course of the evening reinforced
the grave nature of the world-
wide AIDS epidemic. Forty-two
million people around the globe
live with the disease, and over 25
million people have died of
AIDS-related
complications
since 1991.

point system, which many deem
as unfair, can cause major rifts in
friendships as well as difficulties
in finding a place to live. Points
are awarded based on academic
and disciplinary records aas well
as campus involvement. People
who want the best housing want
to get into a group that has the
most priority points.
But if
someone with whom you want to
live has low priority points, the
whole group's average goes
down. This causes many prob-
lems for people who don't have
33 priority points or above (the
maximum is 36).
Not all schools decide housing
on a priority-point based system,
but many do use a lotto
system
as
to who gets what for housing.
Many people from other schools
don't think this is a fair
solution,
either.
A junior at George
Washington
University
in
Washington D.C. said, "At least
you can control which housing
you get by being
active
and hav-
ing a
high
GPA. We just put our
group into the
system
and it ran-
domizes who gets th~ best hous-
ing based on nothing
.
If
we
don't get good housing we can't
do anything about it, but at least
'lat
Marist you're able to
control
-
lwhat you can get and you get
l~
hat you deserve!'
But
ma.tty
doubt
if
that
is
true.
l.'£veri
with the priority
point sys-
lem, many people still blame the
lt)epartment
of Housing for their
,ror
housing picks.
Housing
receives many complaints about
the lack of
it and how students
have not gotten what they want-
ed for housing. There are even
Facebook groups out there like
"Has Marist Housing Screwed
You Over
Lately?"
This group
was designed for all the people
who believe they have been
wronged by the housing system,
alleging that the priority point
system isn't fair. "We are creat-
ing this group as part of a social
change class project to show the
unfair bias within Marist hous-
ing," the group describes itself
on Facebook.
A major issue that students cite
is
that many people with low pri-
ority
points
expect
to get the best
housing, and that just isn't the
case. The students go into hous-
ing and complain to English
about the problems with priority
points, but the priority points are
what the
students
themselves
earn. There is no one to blame
but themselves for the low prior-
ity
points,
English
said
.
They
control
how active they are on
campus, what their GPA is, any
room damage, and even Judicial
issues. Housing is not responsi-
ble for these issues, but many
students
blame the housing
department.
"The probltffi\ ~iiln\buftig ls

if

nlfd·
space
per person in the school,
but
if
that were the case at the end of
the housing process there would
be numerous vacancies," English
said.
Many students go through the
housing process just to see what
housing they would get if they
did want to live on campus, and
then just withdraw from housing.
Though this opens up houses to
those on the waiting list, issues
arise if everyone who desires
housing is already accommodat-
ed. When students withdraw to
live off campus, vacancies
become common. This in
turn
can raise the cost of housing
because of the presence of empty
rooms on campus. Next, students
woflld
complain about the high
cost of on-campus housing.
Housing is such a stressful
proc~ss
_
for all those involved;
the students and those who work
for the Department of Housing.
"We work so hard trying to put
people together and keep groups
whole," English said. "We like to
think we are trying to do our best
for the students."
.
Unfortunatelyj many people,
usually with lower priority
points, will have a problem get-
ting
housing
for next year.
Housing, along with the help of
admissions, is trying to make the
housing process a less stressful
process, but it just seems to be a
fact; some

Today's
latest happenings in the ever-changing world of celebrities
By
CHELSEA MURRAY
Staff Writer
After the Oscars a little over a
month ago, Hollywood has been
. relatively quiet in comparison to
the hype and tension that comes
along with awards season. To
keep you up to date, here is a list
of the important stories in enter-
tainment news the past few
weeks.
To all you girls who ever
dreamed of being a princess:
now you have a shot at that
dream.
Princess Diana and
Prince Charles' eldest son, the
gorgeous
Prince William,
and
his girlfriend of almost five
years,
Kate Middleton,
amica-
bly split up earlier this week.
Girls the world over can now get
·
their feet ready to slip into the
glass
slipper
because the best
royal catch and future King of
England is back on the market.
Britney Spears
and
Kevin
Federline
have worked out the
kinks of their messy divorce
after the pop star emerged out of
rehab clean, revived, and wear-
ing a wig. Britney has seriously
cleaned up her act during the
past month
.
She looks great,
reportedly feels great and now
has something more to smile
about since she and Federline
have hammered out the details of
their divorce. Apparently they
both get joint custody of their
children, the profit of their man-
sion once it's sold and the city of
Las Vegas, where they both go
often for weekend getaways.
The world has finally realized
the
reason
behind
Reese
Witherspoon's
sexy transforma-
tion during awards season
this
year. The "Legally
Blonde"
bombshell turned heads and was
on my best-dressed list
for the
Oscars. One reason behind this
transformation was
the pending
divorce from husband of
seven
years, Ryan Phillippe.
And
now
it has slowly leaked
out
that the
mother of two is quietly
dating
her "Rendition" co-star,
Jake
Grllenhaal.
No wonder she
looks so good; that
man
would
make any woman
feel sexy.
This season
on
American Idol
the hype is not about who is
the
best, but rather who is
the
worst.
Sanjaya Malakar
has swept the
nation and proved that even
though he is a
"
horrendous"
singer, that he can last a long
time.
At
first it seemed that the
only
logical reason for Sanjaya
to stay on the show was the
fact
that
America was
collectively
wearing earplugs
during
the
show
and continued
to
vote him
in.
The
real
reason behind
his
lengthy
stint on the
show is
the
website "Vote for
the Worst,"
Howard
Stern, and young pre-
pubescent girls. Let's just hope
America realizes the
mistake
before its
too late.
Simon Cowell
has
vowed to jump ship
on the
show
if
Sanjaya takes the overall
prize as the
American
Idol. Let's
hope
that
doesn't
happen
because
what
would
that show
be
without
his biting
(albeit
hon-
est) remarks
and baby
tee's?
This may not be a pressing
celebrity story,
but
what college-
aged
individual
didn't
secretly
(if
not
openly)
love
The
Spice
Girls?
So of course
any
time
a
Spice Girl is
mentioned in the
news, it
is worth retelling.
Mel.
B
(aka.
Scary Spice)
added
a lit-
tle spice to
her
life
after
giving
birth
to
a baby girl early on
April
3.
Her ex,
Eddie Murphy,
has
denied that he is the father of
the
baby; however, if
he turns
out to
be wrong, father and daughter
will ironically
share the
same
birthday.
In
other Spice news,
Posh
and
David Beckham
will
make the move
across
the pond
to Los Angeles where she
can
hang out with new best friend
Katie Holmes, shop and eat out.
Oh ~ '
and
he
can
epley
soccer.
Angelina
JoHe
lias
received
massive amounts of critical and
scathing press the past few
weeks after her quick adoption
of her new son,
Pax,
from
Vietnam. The actress and UN
ambassador has been
deemed
"Super girl'! by her other half,
Brad Pitt,
because of all she
does for the world. The
woman
is doing what she wants to do
with her
life.
It doesn't matter if
society agrees with
her uncon-
Left,

A
fashionista's guide: everyone's classic must-haves
By KATE GOODIN
Staff Writer
Fashion is a business that thrives on novelty,
change, and modernity. Trends change with the
seasons and fads are little more than fleeting
moments of popularity. There are, however, cer-
tain garments and accessories for both men and
women that have endured in the
transient
world
of fashion. Foil owing is a list of timeless pieces
that anchor anyone's wardrobe.
For women, there are
several classics
that no
closet is complete without.
First,
and perhaps
most famously, is the Little Black Dress (LBD).
The LBD is usually crafted
in
a
simple silhou-
ette and made of a quality fabric with just
enough stretch to accommodate a
slight
weight
gain or loss. It is also most
commonly
knee-
length and can vary in sleeve
length.
While I
advocate the LBD concept as being your
go-to
dress for any occasion,
I feel
it
does not neces-
sarily
have to be black or little.
I think it
is wise
for every women to have one dress in their
clos-
et in a solid color and classic
shape
that they can
dress up or down for a myriad of occasions;
however, choose the color and
shape
that best
fit
you.
If
you love fire-engine red or an asymmet-
rical hem, go for it. You're the one
wearing it, so
choose what you love.
Another classic for women
is
a
pair
of basic
black pumps. Again, you
can
do
slight varia-
tions on this one. A black
stiletto
heel
is stan-
dard,
but even I, a
seasoned heel-wearer, have
trouble tottering about
on
strappy stilettos
all
day
long.
If
it
suits
you, choose
a heel
with
more
substance.
Feel free to choose subtle details that
A

set
your
pumps apart from
others. Patent leather,
understated accents, or
a
tasteful buckle will
kick your heels up
a
notch.
Last, but hardly least, there are a few staple
Controversial commentary:

Recently, there
has been a racial uproar in the
media regarded radio
host,
Don Imus. Imus and
bis fellow
radio host
were talking about the
Rutgers
girls basketball team on
their show, and
u
they
were discussing
their loss to Tennessee,
Imus said, "That's

This quick

his radio·
and televi-
sion shows.
Imus
has repeatedly
apologized for
his
actions
and com-
ments.
He
has
met
with
Reverend
Al
Sharpton, the
entire
Rutgers
basketball
team,
and many other
people that have
become
involved
with
this
controversy.
At
first,
he was
sus-
pended
for
two
weeks
from
his
radio
and television
show.
After the
controversy
continued, however,
both
the
radio
and tel-
evision
stations
decided to
fire Imus.
These remarks
were
racist, rude,
and com-
pletely unnecessary.
After
getting
so
far
during
the
national
championship,
it is
disgusting
that Imus
had to put these hard
-
working
girls
down.
No,~.
they are not getting
press
.
about how
amazing they played, they are
getting
press for being called 'hos'. Imus should
have
been
punished
for these comments.
On the other hand,
was Imus' final punishment
too
harsh
for the crime? He admits that these
comments were
inexcusable and horrible, but
Imus
swears that
he
.
did not think about these
comments
and
H~d
no
hurtful
intention behind
•
them.
He said, "These young women also need to
know,
not as
an
excuse, not after what I'm going
to
say
now do I
1::
.
pect these young women to
say,
'oh, well
be works with black children, or he
h
as
black
friends,
that
means he can say this'
.
That's
not what
I'm saying. But they need to
know that
I'm
a good person who said a bad
thing, and there's a big difference". Imus
has
made a
living
making fun
of
everyoqe on hi,s
radio show, why now is he finally
being
calfed-
out for his rude remarks?
When it comes to race, there seems to be a
bit
of a double-standard
in the
media.
Whether this
is wrong or right, it
is hard to tell.
If
Imus was
black and made these comments, would there
have been as much controversy? No matter who
makes racist comments in a public setting, they
should be punished. He has
a responsibility as a
talk
show host, and he
disregarded
this
responsibility when he
made racist and sexist
comments.
I am not saying that
Imus should not have
been punished. These
comments were cruel
and did not even make
sense. These women
work extremely hard
and they should
be
extremely proud
of
themselves.
In
no way
are they 'hos'. One
must keep in mind,
though, that Imus is
an
extremely charitable
person. He owns the
Imus Ranch
,
which
takes care of children
with cancer and
raises
millions of dollars for
this cause,
Imus
used
his radio and television
show as
a
plug to raise
money for these chil~
dten.
Now that
Imus has
~en fired, will his c'harity go down with him? I
believe that
Imus
is not as bad of a person as he
is being made out to be. He is just a
guy
who
made a mistake and said an extremely stupid
,
bad
comment that ruined his
life. He should have
been suspended, and warned
.
This is the first
time that Imus has ever gotten
in trouble for a
rude remark, why does he not get a second
chance? If the Rutgers women can forgive him,
why can't America? Imus should have been pun-
ished, but he should have been given one more
chance
.
If
a comment like this emerged again,
then
by
all means, he deserves to be fired. It just
seems harsh to take away a job that this man has
been doing for 30-35 years after one comment
that he
is extremely apologetic for.

Migraines:. A typical
headache just can't compare
By
KATE HORVATH
Circle Contributor
I bet every student at Marist College can say without
My hesitation that they have gotten a headache before.
Waking up early after a long night of cramming for a big
test can definitely make your head spin. However, what
is less common than a familiar headache and much more
serious, are migraines and cluster headaches; two terms
the fortunate people who lack their painful symptoms
should be thankful they can't say they have.
Migraines affect more than 28 million Americans.
Although many people confuse this expression for a reg-
ular
headache,
its symptoms are much more severe. A
regular headache can be enough to make people not
want to do their work or complete everyday activities,
but migraines have the potential to be disabling.
Often followed by nausea and
vomjting,
many
migraine sufferers receive a warning sign from their
bodies that let them know a migraine is coming. Known
as an
"aura,"
or
"sensory
warning sign," victims of this
painful
headache will often see blind spots and reoccur-
ring
flashes oflight, or even experience some tingling in
their
·
arm
or leg.
On
the other hand, even if your
migraines do not include auras as warning signs, it is
proven that in many cases you may receive "sensations
of premonition," also known
as
"prodrome."
These sen-
sations may include feelings of intense energy, cravings
for
sweets,
thirst, irritability, and even depression.
Although these
indications
may seem odd to be linked
together as premonitions for a migraine, their reoccur-
ring patterns
have been proven as signs. Prodrome
occurs several hours or even a day or two before the
migraine actually
strikes.
Anybody can
be a victim of migraines, but they affect
three
times
more women than men.
Migraines
may
begin in childhood and
adolescence,
and tend to grow
less
frequent
and intense as you grow older. Children as
young as age 1 can suffer from migraines but ~e head
pain generally lasts for a shorter period of time.
Although
in adults the pain is focused mainly on one
side of the head, children will experience the throbbing
in both sides. Children can also have prodrome, but their
sensations include
yawning, sleepiness,
and cravings for
foods such as chocolate, bananas, yogurt, and other sug-
ary
foods.
Unfortunately, if it is untreated, the agonizing pain of
a migraine can last up to several days for some people,
but it usually
lasts an average
of
4
to
72
hours.
The
main setback of
a
migraine
headache is its
ability to debil-
itate you from
doing
things
you normally
could achieve
without
the
pain. The pul-
sating
and
throbbing
in
your
head
increases with
physical activi-
ty
and
an
intense sensi-
tivity to light
and sound can
make you want
to crawl up in bed and cancel all
your
plans. Migraines
can be treated and prevented with
over
the counter med-
ication such
as
Advil or
Excedrin,
but
a
doctor
is
recom-
mended to help find the right kind that will
work
the best
with your particular
symptoms.
Cluster headaches
are
less common than migraines,
affecting about 69 people out of
every 100,000. Also
known as
"migrainous
neuralgia,'.'
this
painful form of
headache is now recognized
as
a distinctive
syndrome.
The most common form
of
cluster headaches
is
the
episodic type. When this occurs,
a
person can experi-
ence up to three short-lived attacks of pain per
day over
a 4 to 8 week period, which is then
followed
by
a
pain-
free interval that averages up to
1
year. This makes the
pain worse because when it hits you, it
is unexpected
and long last-
mg.
The other
form of
cluster
headaches
is
the
chronic
fonn, which
is
sometimes
referred
to as
"chronic
migrainous
neuralgia," and
is
less com-
mon
than
episodic.
The
episodic
type
of
cluster
headache can
transform into
the
chronic
form,
begin-
ning
several
years
after the
c
I u
s
t
e r·
headaches begin. When
it
reaches
this
point
you
no
longer
experience
continuous
stages of.remission.
Therefore the chronic
form of cluster
headaches
is
more severe because the pain
continues
without major
periods of pain-free intervals. The later the

order

becoming chronic. Every cluster headache is excruciat-
ing
and extremely intense, making the pulsating effect
of a migraine seem minor.
Cluster headaches come without warning, so patients
do not experience the auras or prodrome that many
migraine sufferers are accustomed to. The pain of a clus-
ter headache can take over a person's entire face, neck,
and ears, but most commonly starts around the eye and
temple. In about
75
percent of all cases, the headache
lasts around 30 minutes to
2
hours, and occurs between
9
pm and 10
am.
Therefore another negative effect' of
cluster headaches is loss of sleep, because the painful
attack will surely awaken you. Occasionally,
'the
pain
can last
as
short as 10 minutes, and unfortunately as long
.
as several hours. Unlike migraines, men are more sus-
ceptible to obtain cluster headaches than women are,
with a
surprising
6: 1
ratio. Cluster headaches can start at
any age, but are most common in adults between 20 and
50
years of age. No matter how old you are, the pain is
unbearable.
In most cases, over the counter drugs are not effective
enough to stop the bouts of pain that come with cluster
headaches.
In
fact, most doctors recommend ditching
medicines taken orally be'cause they are slowly absorbed
and therefore ineffective for the rapid and brief
headache pain. Instead, many have resulted in the
inhalation of oxygen and other methods to help diminish
their suffering.
Both migraines and cluster headaches are severe forms
of pain. I hear people quite frequently complain about
having a migraine when they probably, not knowing
what a real migraine actually is, only have a bad
headache. So next time you wake up with a headache
after partying too much or need an Advil after an intense
study session,
be thankful. You're lucky you actually
could go out with your friends and study for an
immense
amount of time, without being interrupted by a real
headache.

Former Virginia Tech student recounts day of tragedy

With slight hesitation, the student
uttered the professor's name. This
was completely unethical of the
reporter to ask, because not only
was it speculation, but the profes-

to learn of a family member's death.
This act was foreshadowing of the
way the media handled this situation

first year of college.

friends called to check in to make
sure my VT friends were okay, and
to ask for inside information that I

Foxes tops in MAAC
By STEVE SCHULT
Circle Contributor
The last time that the Marist
women's tennis team lost a con-
ference match, the majority of
the student body was still in high
school.
The Red Foxes topped Niagara
University on Sunday by a score
of 5-2, which was their 22nd
consecutive
Metro
Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC)
win and allowed them to finish
the season at a perfect 7-0 in
MAAC play for the third consec-
utive season. The team finished
10-1 on the year with the only
blemish coming against Colgate.
Cassie
.
Strange led the Red
Foxes on Sunday as she con-
tributed in both singles and dou-
bles matches. She took her sin-
gles match with a score of 6-4
and 6-2 to earn a point for the
Foxes, and then teamed up with
junior Erin Godly and Christine
Ong in two separate doubles
matches and won those matches
by scores of 8-4 and 9-8, respec-
tively.
Junior Christine Ong, Erin
Godly, and Sophomore Mirelva
Colon all picked up singles wins
for the Foxes.
Ong was victorious in first sin-
gles, picking up the win by a
score of 6-3, 6-1, and Godly
picked up the point at third sin-
gles by a score of 6-0, 6-2.
Colon on the other hand, had to
sweat her wins out, winning by
scores of 7-5, 7-5.
Godly has been consistent for
the Red Foxes all year, as she
was named MAAC women's
tennis player of the week just a
few weeks ago. After Sunday's
victory, Godly finished the sea-
son 10-1 in singles and a perfect
11-0 in doubles matches.
For the Purple Eagles, that was
their first conference loss of the
season, as they fell to 6-1 in the
MAAC and 10-10 on the year.
They finish the year just below
Marist, second place in the con-
ference.
The Red Foxes look to use this
win as momentum for the
MAAC
tournament
which
begins this Friday in Flushing,
New York.
Men's tennis
.finishes
second in MAAC
By
NATE FIELDS
Staff Writer
It was a week of ups and downs
for the Marist Red Fox men's
tennis team. Coach Tim Smith's
squad posted the school's first
ever win over a Hudson Valley
rival, dropped a critical Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference
(MAAC) contest to Manhattan,
and then traveled to Buffalo only
to be felled 4-3 by the Bulls. But
when all was said and done, the
Foxes still managed to lock up
the second seed for this week-
end's MAAC tournament.
The Foxes journeyed to West
Point last Wednesday riding a
five-game win streak and having
won nine of is last 11 contests.
The Army Black Knights had
never lost to Marist, but Smith
knew coming-into the match, his
Foxes would put up a fight.
"I felt for the first time we had
a 50-50 chance to beat them,"
Smith said.
Marist lost two of three dou-
bles matches to start the contest,
losing
the doubles point. The
Foxes' lone victory came at third
doubles, where the freshman tan-
dem of Loic Sessagesimi and
Christian Coley picked up an 8:6
win.
"When we lost the doubles
point, I felt our chances went 70-
30 in their favor," Smith said.
But the Foxes stormed back in
singles play, picking up points at
first, second, fifth and sixth sin-
gles, and battling to three sets in
both third and fourth singles
before dropping those matches.
Sessagesimi and seniors Pedro
Genovese, Ray Josephs and
Federico Rolon were all victori-
ous in the three and a half hour
epic.
gles, respectively.
Marist traveled across New
York to face the surging
University at Buffalo Bulls last
Saturday. The Foxes started
strong by winning two of three
doubles matches for the point.
Genovese
and
Sessagesimi
paired up for the win at first sin-
gles (9-8), and Josephs and soph-
omore Antonio Oliver captured
third singles 8-2.
Singles play was
a
different
story as Coley and Oliver were
the only victorious Foxes, and
Buffalo pulled out the 4-3 win.
The loss dropped Marist to 13-4
overall, but did not hurt its
MAAC standing.
Competing in their own adap-
tation of the "Buffalo Swing,"
the Foxes took on host Niagara
on Sunday. Like the match
against Army, Marist was unable
to secure the doubles point, but
played with vengeance in sin-
gles.
The Foxes won all six singles
matches, with five going to at
least three sets. Coley dropped
Justin McConkey 6-2, 6-0 at
third singles for the lone two set
win. The win locked up a second
seed in the MAAC tournament
for the Foxes. Smith provided
some outlook for the tourna-
ment.
"If
the seeds hold true, we will
have to play Niagara in the semi-
finals," he said. "So
hopefully
our training has paid off, because
in less than 24 hours we will
have to play Manhattan."
The Foxes kick off MAAC
tournament play at 3:30 on
Friday in Flushing, New York.
Marist looks to take the crown
from
defending
champion
Manhattan, who beat Marist in
the finals last year.

2-3 with five RBI, including a
game of the doubleheader is a
microcosm of the Marist season
and head coach
Dennis
Healy
reiterated those sentiments.
"It's a hard loss to swallow,"
Healy said. "We have had leads
in nine games with less than five
outs to go and lost."
The Marist pitching failed to
hold the lead that the Red Fox
offense regained in the fifth
inning by scoring four runs.
Coach Healy was pleased that
the bats came alive in the second
game but stressed the need for
the pitching to improve.
"We came out and swung the
bats pretty good," Healy said.
"Guys in the middle of the order
have to hit in order to win or else
you're going to lose. We need to
pitch better out of the bullpen
though. Our closer Eric Alessio
has shown some signs of being
really good, but he gave up some
hits."
One positive for the Red Foxes
after the weekend was the offen-
sive emergence of freshman
shortstop
Richard
Curylo.
Although Curylo has struggled
in the field, his
offensive
pres-
ence has made
an
immediate
impact in the Marist lineup.
"Offensively,
his
progress
has
been outstanding and shortstop is
a
bigger
jump from high school
to college," Healy said. "He has
been a little disappointing defen-
sively, but he hit .500 over the
weekend for us and is getting
progressively better."

scored twice for Holy Cross dur-
The Marist men's lacrosse team
had its four-game win streak
snapped by Holy Cross as the
Crusaders defeated Marist 10-6
on Saturday in Worchester, MA.
With the loss, Marist fell to 4-
6 overall, but since this was a
non-conference opponent, its 3-1
Metro
Atlantic
Athletic
Conference (MAAC) record
remained the same. Holy Cross
improved its record to 5-6.
Marist head coach, James
Simpson, was disappointed in his
team's letdown at Holy Cross.
"It's painful," Simpson said.
"They are much more talented
team than they usually show, and
we just didn't come to play. We
didn't come out with the same
intensity as we would have if this
had been a league game."
The Red Foxes found them-
selves down early and often as
Holy Cross exploded to a 4-0
ing its four-goal outbreak. The
Red Foxes did not get on the
board until the 12-minute mark
of the second period as sopho-
more Paul Santavicca scored the
only Marist goal of the first half.
After finding his team down 7-
1 at the half, Simpson only had
one thing to say to his team dur-
ing halftime.
"I
told the team to go out in the
second half and play for one
another," Simpson said. "I also
told them that we couldn't play
much worse than we did in the
first half."
After another Holy Cross goal
pushed the lead to 8-1, Marist
responded with four goals in a
span of two minutes in the third
period. Junior attack man Nick
Hautau scored two of the four
goals while freshman Kevin
Zorovich added two assists.
With the score 8-5 and one
more period to go, Holy Cross
scored two more times, while
Marist scored only once more.
Simpson said there were some
bright spots during the 10-6 set-
back against Holy Cross, like the
return of Dan Needle, who had
been sidelined for the last two
weeks with an injury.
"One of the bright spots for our
team was the return of Dan
Needle," Simpson remarked.·
"Dan won
16
of 19 faceoff
attempts and gave us a lot of pos-
session opportunities."
For the game, Holy Cross had
four players score two goals
apiece while Marist was led by
Hautau, who scored both of his
goals during the third period.
Marist currently sits in fourth
place in the MAAC with four
league games to go before the
MAAC Tournament. The Red
Foxes finish their season with
three straight home games,
including their next contest on

MATT SPILLANE
Staff Writer
During the last home game of
the season, every team always
honors its seniors for putting in
the years of commitment and
dedication. This year's senior
night, ho\\'.ever, was a little dif-
ferent for the women's lacrosse
team. The Red Foxes honored
their lone
senior,
Joanna Maehr,
by trouncing Canisius 15-8 on
Saturday night at Dietz Stadium
in Kingston. Maehr helped lead
the team with an all-around
effort,
dishing out two
assists,
picking up four ground balls,
winning five draw controls, and
forcing four Canisius turnovers.
Since Maehr is the only senior
on the team,
"Senior
Day"
became known as
"Joanna
Day."
Coach Noelle
Cebron
said that
"Joanna
Day" was a huge deal
for Maehr and the
rest
of the
team.
"Being
the only senior on the

enough about Maehr's impor-
tance to
the
team.
"Joanna's a huge asset to the
team,"
Cebron said. "She's been
a starter since I've been here, and
she's always been reliable.
Joanna knows how far the pro-
gram has come since she got
here."
While Saturday was undoubt-
edly Maehr's day, she was not
the only one who stepped up.
Junior Ali Carnabuci continued
her strong week by netting six
goals. Carnabuci was named the

of the week, along with Le
