Marist’s Clement sidelined for season by knee injury

Allie Clement of Falmouth, a former McAuley High star, will miss the remainder of the Marist College women’s basketball season after sustaining a right knee injury in the team’s home opener Tuesday.

After Clement underwent an MRI Thursday, Marist Coach Brian Giorgis told the Poughkeepsie Journal that she would need a lengthy rehabilitation, but did not reveal the nature of the injury.

Clement, a junior guard and one of just two upperclassmen on the Red Foxes, had a team-high 37 points through Marist’s first three games.

Last season, she averaged 9.2 points per game, third on the team.
