POUGHKEEPSIE, New York – The Marist football team held a scrimmage on Friday morning at Tenney Stadium.
 
The session consisted of four 20-minute periods with a running clock. Drives in the first half of the second period were devoted to situational football, including Red Zone, two-minute, and backed up drives.
 
The defense forced three-and-outs on the first two drives before the offense recorded a first down on a pass from red-shirt sophomore Austin Day to fifth-year senior Anthony Olivencia. On the next drive, red-shirt freshman linebacker Mike Arrington had the first of his two fumble recoveries in the scrimmage.
 
In the second period, with the offense working on a backed up on its own end drive, red-shirt sophomore safety Kyle Fleitman returned an interception 20 yards for a touchdown. Fleitman had another interception later in the period. Sophomore linebacker Jayden Johnson had sacks on back-to-back plays in a two-minute drill situational drive.
 
In the third period, red-shirt freshman quarterback Matt Edwards engineered a drive that culminated in a seven-yard touchdown run by red-shirt junior Darryn Jordan.
 
With classes at Marist set to start on Monday, the scrimmage essentially ended preseason camp. The Red Foxes will undergo a regular practice next week in preparation for the team's season opener at Georgetown on Saturday, Sept. 7. The Red Foxes' home and Pioneer Football League openers will take place on Saturday, Sept. 14 against Stetson. Single-game and season tickets are available on MaristTickets.com.
