TOURNAMENT WIN 2007-08: Red Foxes Top DePaul in ‘08 NCAA On the one-year anniversary of the Marist women’s basketball team’s first NCAA Tournament victory, it was evident how much the program’s national profile had grown over the previous 366 days. As the Red Foxes headed to Shadows on the evening of March 17, 2008 for their NCAA selection show gathering, it was possible that the previous year’s Cinderella could be a first-round favorite this time around. The previous year, Marist entered the NCAA Tournament as a #13 seed, its best in program history, and then embarked on its run to the Sweet Sixteen. The Red Foxes entered the 2008 NCAA Tournament with a 31-2 record, a 21-game winning streak that extended over three months, high-profile non-conference victories, and a national ranking of #22 in both major polls.
