The Red Foxes kicked off the scoring with a goal in the 14th minute on a close range chip shot that just barely cleared the outstretched fingers of freshman goalkeeper Alana Rossi. Marist would lead 1-0 going into the half.
Marist would add another tally shortly into the second period in the 49th minute on a put back shot off a header from a corner kick. Rossi would be pulled after the second goal at the 51:18 minute mark in favor of junior Katie Aldrich who went the rest of the way.
The goalkeeping switch would spark the Griffs offense as Canisius answered right back less than two minutes later in the 51st minute, as freshman Gretta Dry got away from a defender and beat the diving Red Foxes goalkeeper to pull within one. That’s where the score would remain as Canisius fell.
Dry lead Canisius with six of the Griffs 18 total shots, three of which reached the goal.
Canisius will return home Saturday, Oct. 15 to face Iona at the Demske Sports Complex. Game time is set for 1 p.m., and that game will be broadcast live on ESPN3.
