Marist (5-5-1, 1-1 MAAC) will play their first two road MAAC contests of the year as they travel to Loyola (Md.) and Rider this weekend. 

Last Time Out: 

The Red Foxes earned their first MAAC victory of the year this past Sunday as they took down a physical Saint Peter's team 3-1. Marist came out fast scoring two first half goals on 14 shots. Following an early second half goal by Saint Peter's, the Red Foxes fired back with another of their own, while standing strong in the back.  Senior Stephan Brossard led Marist offensively with a goal and an assist.  Junior Evan Southworth and sophomore Nick Bramall also helped out offensively by adding a goal apiece.  Junior goalie Anthony Sokalski finished with seven saves to help back-stop Marist's defense. 

Last Meeting:

In last year's meetings with both teams, the Red Foxes were victories 3-0 in each outing.  Both games equaled the Foxes biggest margin of victory for the year, and was the second time Marist was able to earn back-to-back shutouts.
