Marist Football Thwarts Stetson, Moves to 2-0 in PFL

Red Foxes Turn in Solid Performance in All Three Phases

POUGHKEEPSIE, New York – The Marist football team cruised to a 34-3 home victory over Stetson in a Pioneer Football League game at Tenney Stadium on Saturday.
 
Summary
  • Marist never trailed in the game, striking first with Luke Paladino's 29-yard field goal past the midpoint of the first quarter.
  • Hunter Cobb then scampered into the end zone from one yard out with 1:33 left in the stanza, and two plays into Stetson's ensuing possession, Kyle Coffindaffer returned an interception 31 yards for a pick-six, his first-career interception, to put Marist on top 17-0 just 15 minutes in.
  • Dwayne Menders caught a 13-yard touchdown from Austin Day in the second quarter to extend the Red Foxes' lead to 24-0 before Stetson's Cameron Gills kicked a 27-yard field goal to get the Hatters on the board.
  • Marist's defense held Stetson off the scoresheet in the second half, while Brandon Lysick notched his first-career touchdown on a six-yard pass from Day 4:35 to go in the third quarter.
  • Paladino's 41-yard field goal with 9:38 remaining closed out the scoring.
     
Stats
  • Day threw for 276 yards and two touchdowns while completing 22 of 31 passes (76 percent). Menders caught 10 passes for 142 of those yards and a touchdown.
  • Red-shirt junior linebacker Mike Arrington posted a team-leading 14 tackles, and had one of six Red Fox sacks. Arrington and Jayden Johnson (nine tackles) each posted two-and-a-half tackles for loss and a sack.
