Mason Gudger, who carried it eight times for a team-high 51 yards, capped a 13-play, 80-yard drive that took over seven minutes on a 17-yard touchdown with 1:48 remaining.

Enzo Arjona was 17 of 30 for 147 yards for Marist (0-1) with eight completions for 75 yards going to Jackson Conners-McCarthy. Carter James carried 12 times for 47 yards and a touchdown.
