"Brian Giorgis" is the current head coach of the Marist Red Foxes women's basketball program. Giorgis completed his tenth season at the helm as head coach in 2012. His 250th career win at Marist, which came in March 2012, coincided with his players notching the Red Foxes' 7th Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference/MAAC) crown, and their eighth conference crown since 2004.

In 2007, Giorgis coached the Red Foxes through two NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship/NCAA Tournament victories, thus becoming the first-ever MAAC college to appear in the women's Round of 16.

The big key was our team defense in the second half. We forced 13 turnovers in the second half.

The good thing about this team is, we're a pretty even-keeled team. We never get too high. We never get too low.

She's like a sixth starter. She's gotten to the point where she's playing with confidence.

It was a good win for us. It was two weeks since we played a game, and we came out shooting and defending well. It got us the 10-point lead early.

She brings a lot of energy, which is one thing that you like from a kid coming off the bench. She's like a microwave. She makes things happen. She's instant offense, she's instant defense, she's instant rebounding, which is something that you need.

Their Achilles' heel all year has been interior defense because they're pretty small. We got the ball in there early and often.

We're not that much better than everybody if we don't bring our best game, especially on the road. And we didn't defensively.

This is a good way to finish 2005, and hopefully we can go into January doing some of the things we did. Niagara has dangerous shooters, and we can't look ahead to Canisius. We have to take one game at a time and hopefully we can come out with a pair of wins.

We don't spend a lot of time talking about the streak. We just have a bunch of people who aren't used to losing, and don't want to lose. That's the way they play.
