 STANFORD, Calif. (AP) - Alisa Kresge and her Marist teammates gathered at midcourt for a rather subdued celebration following their second straight shocking upset in the NCAA tournament. Once off the court, they all let loose, screaming and sprinting their way to the locker room. Marist is crashing the power-packed Dayton Regional.
Kresge dished out nine assists, handled Middle Tennessee's vaunted press with aplomb and helped hold leading-scorer Chrissy Givens in check as Marist became just the third No. 13 seed ever to make it to the round of 16 with a 73-59 victory Monday night.
"This is amazing," Kresge said. "This is huge for mid-major teams, especially in the MAAC. I don't think anybody expected a mid-major from the MAAC to be in the sweet 16. It's incredible."
