Honor Roll
A three-time MAAC Defensive Player of the Year honoree, Alisa Kresge's smart and tough play is one of the most significant reasons behind the rise of the Marist women's basketball program to being a perennial power. In the 2003-04 season, Kresge took over as the Red Foxes' starting point guard midway through her freshman season. The Red Foxes went 13-4 with her in the starting lineup as the team earned its first MAAC Championship and made its first NCAA Tournament appearance. As a sophomore, Kresge was named the MAAC Co-Defensive Player of the Year. In her junior year, she was named MAAC Defensive Player of the Year and Third Team All-MAAC as Marist returned to the NCAA Tournament. In the 2006-07 season, Kresge's efforts helped Marist become the first MAAC program - men's or women's - to reach the NCAA Tournament's Sweet Sixteen. She once again was named MAAC Defensive Player of the Year, and earned Second Team All-MAAC honors. In Marist's first- and second-round NCAA Tournament victories over Ohio State and Middle Tennessee State, Kresge tallied 17 assists and five steals. She is Marist's all-time assists leader with 596, and is second in program history in career steals with 222. Kresge capped her career by being named MAAC Student-Athlete of the Year in 2007.
