Marmion was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Saint Viator apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in October of 2019.
Despite the defeat, Marmion saw an underclassman step up: Joey Favia rushed for 164 yards and three touchdowns.
Marmion's defeat was their third straight at home, which dropped their overall record down to 2-7. That rough patch could be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 13.7 points per game. As for Saint Viator, they now have a winning record of 5-4.
