Sophomore guard paces Foxes on Senior Night

Dejuan Goodwin found his early-season form and brought rain from long distance in the Foxes 57-35 win over Hartford.
Goodwin shot 6-of-10 on three-pointers and finished with a game-high 20 points. Freshman guard R.J. Hall was the only other player to score in double figures. Hall's emergence is a promising sign considering David Devezin walked with the seniors due to complications with his red-shirt season at Texas A&M. If Devezin can't return, Hall will man the point guard position for Marist for the next three seasons.
Marist's double-double machine Ryan Schneider failed to score in double digits for the first time since Nov. 29 against New Hampshire. Ironically, Marist won both games against America East opponents. The senior captain also grabbed seven rebounds in last night's win.
This game could provide some momentum for a team heading on a Buffalo trip next weekend. Marist will take on Canisius in the first game on Friday and finish the season with a re-match against Niagara on March 1.
Marist is now 9-20 on the season.
