POUGHKEEPSIE, New York – The Marist football team suffered a 20-17 loss to Georgetown on Saturday night in a non-league game at Tenney Stadium.

Red-shirt sophomore quarterback Mike White completed 15 of 36 passes for 234 yards and two touchdowns. Junior wide receiver Lawrence Dickens led the Red Foxes in receiving yards (74) and receptions (four). He added 77 yards on three kickoff returns for 151 all-purpose yards on the day. Red-shirt junior running back Marcellus Calhoun paced Marist on the ground with 60 yards on 18 carries. A week after turning the ball over six times against Bucknell, the Red Foxes committed zero turnovers against the Hoyas.

Defensively, red-shirt sophomore safeties Jordyn Jean-Felix and Wesley Beans, along with red-shirt junior nose tackle Daniel Njoku, led Marist with seven tackles apiece. Jean-Felix had a sack, and Beans' interception was the game's lone turnover.

Georgetown got on the scoreboard first, as a 28-yard field goal by Henry Darmstadter capped an 11-play drive with 6:26 left in the first quarter. Marist took the lead on its ensuing drive. On a second-and-14 from midfield, White threw a long pass to sophomore wide receiver Juston Christian down the middle of the field. Christian batted the ball to himself inside the 10, and went in for his first touchdown of the season. A 37-yard field goal by senior Mike Maccarone gave Marist a 10-3 lead after the first period. Darmstadter's 25-yard field goal with 1:29 left before the half cut the Red Foxes' advantage to 10-6, a lead they took into the locker room.

The Hoyas re-claimed the lead on a 15-yard touchdown run by Christian Bermudez with 5:37 left in the third quarter, which came on a fourth-and-two. Marist took back the advantage just three plays into the ensuing drive, as White connected with red-shirt freshman wide receiver Jon Kanda on a 29-yard scoring strike. It was Kanda's first career reception.

Georgetown then took the lead back 12:03 to play. On a fourth-and-goal from the Marist 3, quarterback Tim Barnes rolled right and completed a touchdown pass to Justin Harrell. The Red Foxes reached the Georgetown 30 two drives later, but Hunter Kiselick blocked a 48-yard field goal attempt by Maccarone.

Georgetown outgained Marist in total yards, 358-325. The Hoyas held a 35:54-24:06 advantage in time of possession, and held the ball for 11:45 in the fourth quarter. Marist was 0-for-13 on third down.

Marist returns to action on Saturday, Sept. 17, when the Red Foxes travel to Sacred Heart. It will be Marist's first road contest of the season, and final non-league game. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m.
