NEW ROCHELLE, NY - The Iona College lacrosse team was dealt its fourth straight loss, ending up on the wrong end of a 15-8 decision against Marist in MAAC action at Mazzella Field.  The Gaels (4-10, 1-3 MAAC) tied the score twice before giving up the final seven goals of the contest to the Red Foxes (7-6, 4-1 MAAC).
