- 2009 Preseason WNIT Women's Basketball:
Marist vs. North Carolina
Marist Athletics has done a lot to support our CYO program. This is a great opportunity to thank them back.
Help Pack the House ...
Marist is hosting this opening round of the 2009 Preseason WNIT.
Marist has been challenged by the WNIT to fill the McCann Center for
Friday's game in the hopes that a good crowd will result in more
home games throughout the tournament. If the Red Foxes win Friday's
game, Marist will play the winner of West Virginia/Towson on
Sunday, November 15 (game site: TBD).
However, if the Red Foxes win on Friday night in front of huge
crowd, then the Marist Department of Athletics is confident that
the WNIT will reward our fans and community with the second round
game.
Please show your support for the Marist women’s basketball program. For tickets to Friday night's game, CLICK HERE. Ticket prices start at $4 for children and go up to $7 for adult reserved seating. Also, the first 1,000 fans will receive a FREE 2009-10 Marist Basketball Schedule Magnet as they enter the game.
