Gilmer would then sink 3-of-4 attempts from the line in the final 10 seconds to seal the Red Foxes victory.

Head Coach Scott Hemer's Postgame Comment
"I was proud of the teams effort against a very good Marist squad. We executed much better on the offensive end and had some good moments defensively. We didn't have a big let down during the game which is progress; however, we didn't set the tone right from the jump and that is part of learning how to win."
