offensively in their three tournament games. They shot under 40 percent from the field in each contest. There was only one occasion in the three games that a Red Fox other than Allenspach scored in double figures, as Yarde had 10 points and 10 rebounds against Siena in the semifinal round. On the other hand, Allenspach was locked in. She drained all four of her three-point attempts and scored a game-high 16 against Saint Peter’s in the quarterfinals. She tied her career high with 34 points as she went 6-for-7 from three against Siena in the semifinals. The Red Foxes trailed for much of the first half against Loyola in the championship game, but Allenspach scored 21 on just eight field goal attempts in Marist’s 63-45 victory. In the championship, Allenspach averaged 23.7 points and shot .727 (24-for-33) from the field and .800 (12-for-15) from three-point range. That’s the definition of an MVP, and her heroics led Marist to its sixth straight NCAA Tournament appearance.
