Marist's Mateo Zapata kicked a 22-yard field goal with 98 seconds left to force overtime.
In the first overtime, Wesley Dugger's 3-yard TD put the Wildcats up 41-34. Day connected again with Christian on a 25-yard score, then threw another 25-yard TD to Jon Kanda, and Marist (3-4, 3-1 Pioneer Football League) kept Davidson (5-3, 2-3) out of the endzone.
Christian finished with eight receptions for 246 yards. For the Wildcats, Dugger ran 26 times for 111 yards and four scores.
