Accomplishments

Rik Smits visits Marist on Alumni Day

Marist, which captured seven Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference titles during the 2004-05 academic year, has taken home the conference's highest honors, earning all three JetBlue Airways MAAC Commissioner's Cups. This season marks the fifth time in seven years that the Red Foxes have claimed the overall competition and now makes Marist the only school to win the overall title five times. La Salle and Loyola have each won four overall titles.

In March 2007, Marist's Women's Basketball team surprised a nation of NCAA fans under the leadership of co-captains Alisa Kresge and Nikki Flores. They became the third 13th seed to make it to the Sweet 16 since the women's tournament expanded to 64 teams. They defeated 4th-seeded Ohio State and 5th-seeded Middle Tennessee State to make it to the Sweet 16.^[2]

On June 28, 2007 Jared Jordan became the second Marist College basketball player to be selected in the NBA draft, as the 45th overall pick, 15th pick in the second round by the Los Angeles Clippers. He currently plays professionally in Greece. Rik Smits was the first Marist player to play in the NBA, and had an All-Star career with the Indiana Pacers.

In February 2008, Marist joined the Pioneer Football League as its tenth member effective for the 2009 season, ending the MAAC Football League.[1]

In March 2008, the women's basketball team, under head coach Brian Giorgis, was seeded 7th in the New Orleans Regional of the NCAA Basketball Tournament where they defeated the 10th seeded DePaul Blue Demons 76-57. They were then defeated by the 2nd seeded LSU Lady Tigers 68-49 on March 24, 2008 ending Marist's 22 game winning streak.
