POUGHKEEPSIE, New York – The Marist football team closes out the season on Saturday against Pioneer Football League foe San Diego.
 
A win would give the Red Foxes (4-6 overall, 3-4 Pioneer Football League) their fifth consecutive season with a league record of at least .500. San Diego (8-2, 7-0) has clinched the league championship, and will be the PFL's representative in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.
 
Previous Outing
The Red Foxes are coming off of a win last weekend at home where they outlasted Morehead State on Senior Day, 38-31. Marist matched its season high in scoring with a great team effort. Senior wide receiver Lawrence Dickens and red-shirt senior running back Marcellus Calhoun scored two touchdowns apiece, while junior wide receiver Juston Christian had 141 yards receiving and a touchdown. Red-shirt junior quarterback had 315 yards and three touchdowns through the air.

Defensively, red-shirt junior linebacker Willie Barrett was named PFL Defensive Player of the Week and STATS FCS Honorable Mention Defensive Player of the Week. Barrett notched seven tackles, two-and-a-half stops for loss, and had two key fumble recoveries in the fourth quarter.
 
Player To Watch
Christian enters the final game with 991 receiving yards on 57 receptions. He has had back-to-back games with at least 140 receiving yards, and needs nine on Saturday to achieve the third 1,000-yard receiving season in program history.
