Later on in the 3rd quarter, Marist would finally break into the endzone on a trick play, but failed the 2-point play. The defense for the Quakers would make some big plays & made things challenging for Marist QB Will O’Dell. Late in the 4th quarter, the Quakers would put on a nice time-consuming drive that ended with another touchdown for a 28-9 lead.

Q4 3:03 | Penn 28, Marist 9
