Key Performances Propel Quinnipiac to Victory
Asim Jones really set the tone for Quinnipiac. He finished with 23 points and five rebounds, making his presence felt on both ends of the court.
Jones came up clutch when it mattered, showing off his scoring touch and defensive effort. It’s hard to overstate how much his energy fueled the Bobcats.
Amarri Monroe’s Double-Double
Amarri Monroe chipped in with a double-double: 14 points and 10 rebounds. He worked the glass hard, giving Quinnipiac those extra possessions that can swing a game.
Monroe didn’t have his best shooting night—just 4 of 15 from the field—but he kept grinding. His five steals were a real headache for Marist and showed just how active he was on defense.
Grant Randall’s Efficient Shooting
Grant Randall quietly put together an efficient game, scoring 10 points on 3 of 5 shooting. He knocked down 2 of 3 from deep, too.
Randall added six rebounds and hit a couple of free throws, giving Quinnipiac a steady boost. He’s one of those guys who just seems to do the little things right.
Marist’s Efforts Fall Short
Marist didn’t go down without a fight. Tarik Watson led the Red Foxes with 14 points and eight rebounds, keeping them in it for much of the game.
Watson’s effort was obvious, especially on the boards. Still, Marist couldn’t quite get over the hump.
Elijah Lewis and Justin Menard’s Contributions
Elijah Lewis pitched in 11 points, giving Marist a much-needed spark offensively. His shots helped keep things interesting late.
Justin Menard added eight points and four assists, showing he can run the offense and find his teammates. Both guys gave Marist a chance, but it just wasn’t enough this time.
Quinnipiac’s Defensive Prowess
Quinnipiac’s defense really stood out. The Bobcats forced turnovers and turned them into points, which ended up making a huge difference.
Monroe’s five steals were a highlight, and the team’s intensity on defense was hard to miss. If they keep this up, they’ll be tough to beat.
Marist’s Resilience
Marist showed some grit, even in defeat. Watson and Lewis proved they can hang with the best in the conference.
If Marist can find a bit more consistency, they’ll be a tough out come tournament time. There’s talent here—they just need to put it all together.
Looking Ahead
With this win, Quinnipiac has some momentum as they gear up for more conference games. The Bobcats have shown they can handle pressure and get contributions from up and down the roster.
Fans should keep an eye on Jones, Monroe, and Randall as the season rolls on. Who knows what’s next? It’s shaping up to be an exciting stretch for Quinnipiac.
Marist’s Path Forward
Marist is looking to learn from this game and make some adjustments. The Red Foxes have the talent to compete, no doubt about it.
If they keep developing, they could easily find themselves near the top of the conference. Watson and Lewis—yeah, they’ll need to keep up their strong play.
The team also has to get better at sticking to their game plan, especially when things get tense. That’s always easier said than done, but it’s where the difference is made.
