Marist's Brian Parker then missed two free throws and after Asante Gist missed a 3-pointer for Iona, Funk again made three free throws and Marist was up by five. Ben Perez hit a 3-pointer to cut it to two again for Iona but the Gaels had to foul and Darius Hines made a pair for the Red Foxes to close the scoring.
