POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. (AP) Ryan Funk hit a 3-pointer with more than three minutes left to give Marist an eight-point lead and the Red Foxes made it hold up for a 76-74 upset victory over Canisius to snap a nine-game Metro Atlantic losing streak Sunday afternoon.
Khallid Hart hit the first of two free throws to pad Marist's lead to 76-74, and Kiefer Douse missed a tip-in to tie with a second left.

Hart finished with 22 points and eight rebounds to lead Marist (7-22, 4-14). Funk added 21 points.
