I feel as though this is going to be a tough road game to win for the women even though QU is only a middle of the MAAC team at this point , 4-3 in the MAAC and sub . 500 overall at 7-9 . Despite their record I feel a win vs QU , much like Marist used to be , is the road that needs to be travelled to a MAAC championship. Let’s hope CTD gets them ready to play and the ladies remain hungry. Stags up, way up!

"I'm proud of how we responded," Head Coach Carly Thibault-DuDonis said. "I thought at Marist we didn't do a good job of sharing the basketball. I thought we took that to heart to create good shots for one another and you saw us stick with it and play the right way."
