We came out and really commanded the game through the first half," Roper said. "It was great to get the first goal in the first 10 minutes. As the game progressed, the last 20 minutes you saw that Niagara was keeping possession more. We tried to hold them through overtime but the fatigue and mistakes set in and took their toll."
Marist ends their season with an overall record of 8-10-2 and had accomplished many individual feats. The team had ten members named to the MAAC all-academic team, two named to the MAAC all-rookie team (Jackie Sabia and Nicole Kuhar), and two named to the MAAC all-tournament team (Teresa Ferraro and Sabia).
"There's a lot of positive that came out of this season and a lot of positive things that we put together in the tournament," Roper said. "I think some of the younger players realize we were fortunate this was one of the years that all ten teams go to the tournament and we have to make sure we really get the job done in the season next year.
"We've shown we can play with the best and beat the best and that's a good message they are already thinking of for next season."
