Marist junior Michael
Gelonnino,
a
resident
of
Torrington
and
friend
of
Bingham's, said that he thinks
Bingham deserves his success.
"I'm happy for Ryan,
"
he said.
"'This is a huge accomplishment
for him."
The
last
mayor
,
who lost by
225
votes, "focused more on his
own appearance
than
that of the
town
'
s," Gelonnino said. "There
was definitely a need for
a
change.
"
Gelormino mentioned a few of
the issues that he foresees
Bingham tackling.
''There is a whole downfown
renovation that is scheduled to
take
place
,
"
he
said.
"
Unemployment·is also a minor
problem that is getting larger."
Gelormino expressed his initial
concern over someone in his age
group in the position of mayor
,
but said that he had developed
great faith in Bingham's ability
to get the job done.
"I was a skeptic at first because
I
didn't feel that he had enough
real-life experience to do the job
1
but
I
definitely did not want the
incumbent to win again," he
.
said.
"Ryan's mother is our state
rep-
resentative
.
and he has surround-
ed
himself
with good people who
will
help him make the right
decisions for our town."
JoAnne Myers of the political
science department at Marist
was
Bingham's adviser and professor
.
She said that Bingham had taken
two of her classes, one of which
was Political Communication
and Politics.
"h

said.

Chemistry and biochemistry become options for degree
:
By
CHRISTINE ROCHELL£
Circle
Contributor
Next fall,
Marist
College's
School of Science will
present
chemistry and biochemistry as
two
new
Bachelor of Arts pro-
grams.
The Department
of Chemistry
will add
the
two B.A.
degrees
alongside their two current
Bachelor
of Science
programs.
The School of Science released a
statement on
the
new degrees,
stating both will offer more
flex-
ibility and allow students to
take
more
electives, aiming toward a
well-rounded
liberal
arts
degree.
Michael
G.
Tannenbaum
,
Ph.D.
and
dean
of the School of
Science said that the
idea
for the
two
new
degrees was suggesled
by
an external
consultant from
another university.
"The B.A.
in
chemistry
is
for
those
who want to become high
school chemistry teachers or for
marketing
and sales," said
Tannenbaum. "The B.A.
in bio-
chemistry is for those with inter-
est
in
the
health
profos~ion."
The
proposal
had to be
approved by
the
School of
$,ci~nq~. then l;zy, all faculty
members.
ft
was then passed to
the
administration, the
board of
trustees, and finaJly, New York
State.
"T
he
approval process was
pretty smooth," Tannenbaum
said.
The proposal was sent out dur-
ing the summer of
2004 and was
approved by Marist College this
past April.
New York State
received the submission in May,
and approved
it this past
September.

Of all
the national issues
that
define the present and
will
shape
our future
,
none
is more crucial
than America's
War on
Terror.
The
consequences of complacen•
cy
have
be.en
irrevocab
l
y
imprinted
in
the American psy•
che,
and have
once
more
awak•
ened a sleeping giant.
On
:
Veteran's Day, President
George
W.
Bush delivered a
speech
in
T
o
b
yhanna,
Pennsylvani3. that
reiterated and,
r
think. renewed
the
commitment
and resolve
of
this nation to
combat radica
li
sm
and promote freedom.
I
just
wanted to
comment,
briefly, on
that
speech.
For the first time,
really,
Pre
s
id
ent
Bush has stated in clear
tenns the nature
of
the
enemy we
face.
h
'
s
not really terrorism,
which is merely
the
tool of our
enemy. No
,
while our war
is
on
the surface a war on terrorism
and
terrorists,
what we
truly
are

i
ng
is
an
ideology,
Those
who we oppose represent all
that
this
nation
and
its
culture
have
rejected
-
a radical tyranny
that
seeks to
undermine basic
human
righ
t
s and freedoms and estab•
lish
a worldwide authoritarian
system dominated and controlled
by them alone.
President
Bush,
I
think, drove
that
point home
in
his address.
"Yet, while
the killers
choose
their victims
indiscriminately,
their attacks serve a
clear
and
focused
ideology
-
a set of goals
and
beliefs
that are evil,
but
not
insane," Bush
said.

dismissed. Our enemy is utterly
committed.
As Zarqawi
has
vowed
,
'We will either achi
e
ve
victory over the
buman
race or
we will pass to the eternal.life.'
Evil men, obsessed with ambi-
tion
and unburdened by con-
science, rnust be taken very seri•
ous
l
y
-
and we must stop them
before their crimes can multi•
ply."
The
point that really struck
a
chord with me, however, was the
comparison
drawn
between the
radicals today and the
'
evil
emp
ir
e'
that
was
the
focus of past
decades
-
the
Soviet Union and
its ideology
of communism.
"The
murderous
ideology of
the Islamic
radicals is
the
great
cha
ll
enge of our new century,"
Busb
said. "Yet in many ways,
this figbt resembles the
struggle
agains
t
communism in the last
century.
Like the
ideology of
communism
,
l:damic
radicalism
is eliti
s
t
,
led
by a self.appointed
VJnguard that presumes to speak
for the Muslim masses. Like the
ideology of communism, our
new enemy that innocent
in~i•
viduals can be sacrificed to serve
a political vision. Like the idcol•
ogy of communism, our
new
enemy pursues totalitarian aims.
They seek
10
end dissent in every
fonn, to control every aspect of
life, to ru
l
e
the
soul
itself.
While
promising
a
future of
justice and
holiness,
the
terrorists are
preparing a future of oppression
and misery
."
Finally, this administration
has
boldly unveiled our enemies
and
exposed them for what
they
truly
are
-
a sanctimonious group of
backward-looking, violent dissi•
deqts that threatens to hijack
the
g
l
obe.

certainly do not have the best
interests of people
,
even their
own people
,
at
heart.
As the
president so rightly pointed out,
they wage war on everyone with•
out aiscriminat
i
on
,
including
Muslims who disagree with
their
minority views.
This
is
our enemy, this is who
we are battling against, and this
is who we must defeat. President
Bush has
drawn
a
new line
in
the
sand with
this
speech
,
essentially
saying that this war must become
a globa
l
effort.
Anyone who
believes
i
n compassion
,
free-
dom, and
the
forward momen•
tum of the
human
race is our ally
and friend; those who support
tyranny and
despise progress
are
not. There can be no neutrality
,
no
middle
ground.
There is also
no room
for the
root causes that breed radicals.
To this end,
President
Bush
promised that this country would
continue to promote and protect
democracy and self.detenn
in
a-
tiorf
in
the Middle
East.
In this
new global wor
l
d, our futures
are
inextr
i
cably
linked
to theirs. By
stabilizing and aiding this
trou•
bled region of
the
world
,
we
invest
in our own stability and
secu
r
ity.
And u
l
ways, always,
we look ahead to a better
,
brighter future.
I
think
the presi~
d~nt
said it best
in
his last
few
words.
"We don't know
the
course our own strugg
l
e will
take, or the sacrifices
that
might
lie
ahead. We do know, howev•
er, that the defense of freedom is
worth our sacrifice, we
do
know
that the
l
ove of freedom is
the
mightiest force of history
,
and
we do know
that the
cause of
freedom will once

Why a windfall tax is not the right solution
By
JEFF ZIMMERMAN
Circle Contributor
Many
of
the biggest names in
the oil industry have been flying
into O.C. over the past week to
answer allegations of price goug•
ing and the possible imposition
of windfall taxes in the wake of
hurricane Katrina. Allegations
are abound, most of which are
dangerous, uninformed specula•
tion. Because, in this case the
chief culprit of the high prices
are some of the most basic of alt
economic principles, supply and
demand. An all time high in
global
consumption
legitimately
equals record profits (no gouging
necessary).
This year Apple
posted its highest earnings ever
because of the demand for its
iPods, yet no one is accusing
them
of gouging and calling to
further
tax
their
profits.
Many
studies have conCluded
than
85
percent to 90 percent of gas
prices can be attributed to global
demand.
Moreover,
losing
l 0
percent of the countries refining
capacity will cleady lead
to
pfice
increases. Thus the current price
level
can
easily
be
explained by
supply and demand.
Blaming
abstractions such
as supply and
demand is not
as fulfilling as
demonizing
the oil industry, but
in this
case it is more accurate.
The oil industry is highly cycli•
cal, and has, according to a
Goldman Sachs study been mak.•
ing below the national average
on its return on capital employed
from 1977 to 2002. Because of
this, calling for windfall taxes at
the first sign of above average
profits
is
preposterous and in the
long
run
will hurt consumers far
more than help them. Almost
every single
study
done by the
Federal Trade Commission and
other governmental organiza•
tions has yielded consumption as
the cause of high oil prices.
Like
I
said, a windfall tax is a
simple solution for
a
very com•
plex problem, one very likely
has
more costs than benefits. We as
a nation have tried to implement
a windfall
tax
on oil companies
before, and are feeling some of
the some of the negative reper•
cussions now. Aside from only
producing 22 percent of its
expected
income
,
it also had
many other more devastating
consequences. The
tax
caused a
sharp decline
in
domestic

duction,
about 3.5 million fewer
barrels
per day over the next I 0
years. We really could be
u
sing
that domestic production right
about now. This tax made us
more
dependant on
the Middle
East to make
up the
difference.
Rushing to punish perceived
price gouging with windfall
taxes will have many unaccept•
able long
term results such as
reduced domestic refining capac•
ity,
increased reliance
on foreign
sources of oil, and very possibly
higher gas prices in the future.
In this case the benefits of the tax
do not outweigh the eventual
cost to consumers.

Risk of contracting meningitis low among students
By
LAUREN RICHMOND
Staff Writer
Meningitis is a serious
condition
that often
strikes
in places like
college campuses,
especially
for
students
that live in residence
halls. While the incidence has been found to be
only
1 in 100,000
students
per academic year as listed by www.cdc.gov
,
students
should be aware of this serious condition, the
symptoms
to be on
the alert for and what they can do to lower their risk
of contracting
it.
Viral meningitis is relatively mild and can clear up in a week or
two without treatment. Bacterial meningitis is an infection that
lives in the fluid that surrounds the brain and
spirtal cord,
known
as
cerebral spinal fluid, or CSF. The tissue
surround
ing
the
CSF,
called the meninges, can become inflamed,
causing
the
symptoms
of
meningitis to erupt. The infection can often be treated with
antibiotics once a person is diagnosed. However,
if
the infection is
allowed to progress it can lead to brain damage or even death,
a~cording to www.astdbpphe.org. The infection can
be
diagnosed
by a blood test or by taking a sample of the spinal fluid and testing
it:for the
strains
of bacteria that cause bacterial meningitis.
:The
classic
symptoms
of meningitis include headache and fever.
S~me also report stiffness in the neck. Other
symptoms
may
ir(clude nausea,
sens
itivit
y
to light, vomiting and even confusion
arid sleepiness. These are
somewhat
general
symptoms
that many
students might be tempted to associate with lack of sleep or the
common cold. Students experiencing these
symptoms, especially
headache and high fever that seem to worsen in nature
should
visit
Health Services during its operating hours or St. Francis'
emer-
gency room. The operating hours ofMarist's Health
Services
office
a.(e
currently
set at 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and
noon to
5
p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Students that have been
in
close contact with
someone
that has
b1ren diagnosed with the infection are advised to visit Health
Services and get an antibiotic as an additional preventative meas-
ure. However, there is no quarantine necessary for
peopl
e
that have
been in close contact with
someone
infected and who are
on
antibi-
otics.
One of the
easiest
precautions
students
can take is to be sure not
to
share
lip balm, drinks, cigarettes or anything else that might
come
into contact with saliva. While the bacteria is not able to live
on
surfaces
for a long period
of
time, close contact with
an
infect-
ed individual (the infected person
taJcing
a
drink
and someone else
drinking from the same cup directly afterwards, for example) can
result in elevated risk for contracting the
infection.
Simply
breath-
ing the same air or being in the same space does
not
place anyone
at increased risk for contracting meningitis.
According
to www.health.state.ny.us, New York State does not
require that
students
who attend college in the state get a meningi-
tis vaccine before moving onto campus. However, colleges in
NY
State have been required since before the
fall
2003
semester
began
to distribute information to students taking
6
credits or more about
the
vaccine,
including cost. Colleges are also required to keep
records of
students
who have been immunized against meningitis in
the
IO
years prior to enrolling in college or an acknowledgment of
the risks
associated
with meningitis and a
refusal
to receive the vac-
cine
signed
by the student and/or student
'
s parents. Students that
are not sure if they got the vaccine are encouraged to call their doc-
tor's office at home and ask for their records to be reviewed or
check their immunization status with Marist's Health Services
Office. Students wishing to receive the meningitis vaccine should
schedule
an appointment with their doctor at home. In addition, the
Dutchess County Health Department offers a
vaccinatio
n
clinic on
the
second
and fourth Wednesday of each month from 1 p.m.-2
p.m .. The charge fot the vaccine is $80.00; students
can
check with
their insurance company to see if they qualify for reimbursement.
If you have any questions or need further information,
you
can con-
tact
Health
Services at extension 3270.
Students who are baving
trouble
dealing with the current situa-
tion on campus are encouraged to
visit
the Counseling Center in
Byrne Building
l
ocated
behind Leo to receive emotional support.
The
Counseling Center's
extension is 2152 for
students
wishing to
make an
appointment
to see a counselor.

Coffee may lower blood pressure, benefiting women most
By
JESSICABAGAA
A&Eeditor
In a world filled to the brim with Dunkin
1
Donuts
'
and Starbucks
Coffee, it is bard to resist the urge for your daily cup o' joe. Caffeine
consumption has been a source of dependency for many women
who
crave that daily morning boost and afternoon pick-me-up.
However, despite 20 years of
reassuring
research, according to
Harvard Women's Health Watch, many women are still apprehensive
when it comes to their coffee consumption as they are worried about
the health effects of caffeinated coffee. But here is some
good
news
for those
caffeine
conscious coffee connoisseurs: when it comes to
high blood pressure, it is cola, not coffee, that women
should
he wor-
ried about.
In a
study
conducted by Dr. Wolfgang Winkelmayer at Boston's
Brigham and Women's Hospital, he found evidence that "coffee
drinkers [are] no more likely than abstainers to develop high blood
pressure," a common misconception regarding the long-term effects
of caffeine.
According to The New York Times,
"Winkelmayer's
group exam-
ined data on 155,594 mostly white female nurses ... [who] were ques-
tioned periodically about their diets and heaJth and followed over 23
years." His study concluded that women who drank more than three
cups of coffee daily were about
7
percent to 12 percent less likely to
develop high blood pressure than women who drank little or no
cof-
fee, while "those who drank at least four cans of
sugared
cola drinks
daily
had a 28 percent to 44 perctht increased rllk ofhlgli·b1.it~r•
sure, compared
with women who
drank
few or none," as explained
by The Wall Street Journal.
Though it
has
been known to cause short-term increases in blood
pressure, it seems as
if
caffeine, when taken as part of a cup of cof-
fee, does not have hazardous results.
In
fact, "there was even some
evidence [that] women who drank lots of coffee - four or more daily
cups
of
regular or decaf - faced a slightly lower risk for developing
high blood pressure than those who drank little or none."
Conversely,
cola bas shown
signs of
detrimental effects as com-
pared to coffee. Women in Winkelmayer's
study
who drank cola "did
seem to have a greater risk of high blood pressure" than coffee
drinkers. Wink.elmayer
suggests
that the
differe~ce
between caf-
feinated cola and caffeinated coffee can be found in the secondary
·
ingredients
in
each beverage; it is thoSC ingredients that make coffee
a better
choice
for women concerned about caffeine. Most impor-
tantly, coffee bas lots of antioxidants that are thought to help protect
the heart and reduce risks of cancer.
In fact, several recent
studies
have shown health benefits from cof-
fee,
claiming that it is a major food source for antioxidants, "linking
heavy coffee conswnption in men with a reduced risk of diabetes,
and Japanese research suggesting coffee might help prevent liver
cancer," The New York Times
exp
lains.
In addition
'
to helping women's blood pressure, Harvard Women's
Health Watch
suggests
that "the risk for type 2 diabetes is
lower
among
regular coffee drinkers than among those who don't drink
it."
A
o.
l!t>tl!e
nlly
reduce ihe risk
of
developing
gall-
stones,
discoarage
the development of
colon
cancer,
improve cognitive
function, reduce the
risk of liver damage
in people who are at
a high risk, and
reduce the risk of
Parkinson's disease,
studies
show.
Researchers were
surprised
by
Wink.elmayer's find-
ings on the negative
effects
of
cola and
warned that the study was not conclusive. Though he
supports
his
findings in that, for women, coffee is the better
choice for a number
of reasons among caffeine
consumers,
Winkelrnayer
said
he
couldn't
maJce any diet recommendations based on his
study except to say
it
appeared safe to consume a few
worry-free
cups
of coffee daily. So,
go ahead and order that Grande Mocha Frappuccino,
just
don't
over-
do it!
Unprepared for such high demand, college runs out of flu vaccine
By
MICHAEL KINGERY
Circle Contributor
The
,
flu is returning, and many Marist students may not have the
prolection they need. As the flu season approaches, vaccine supplies
are running
low.
Jane O'Brien,
director
of Health Services, said
Marist had already run out of flu shots.
Health
Serv
i
ces' empty cupboard
is due lll part
to
an unusually high
demand. Health Services began administering the vaccine on Oct. 3,
and accordlllg to O'Brien they have given more than 200 flu shots to
Marist
students
and staff. O'Brien said that she cannot remember
such a high student demand for the vaccine. "We've never distributed
200 doses
of
the flu vaccine in a whole flu season," she said.
Faculty was
originally
granted the opportunity, along with students,
to get their flu shots at Health Services. Now all future
supplies
of
vaccine
will be reserved solely for students.
Marist
College's
original
supp
li
er,
Adventis, bas
depleted
their
entire stock of
vacc
ine
shots,
according to O'Brien. Chiron, another
vacc
llle
distribution company,
has
been delayed in sending their own
supply
to the public. O'Brien said that the federal government want-
ed to closely inspect their vaccine for safety purposes. Chiron's sup-
ply of the vaccine should be reaching the public soon, O'Brien said,
and Marist is on a waiting list for more
doses.
This is not the first time that Marist College has run into a shortage
of the flu
vaccine.
O'Brien said that last year, due to a national short•
age, the college did not receive any of the vaccine. This year, it is
uncertalll how many more Marist students will be able to receive
it.
Marist is also not the only place without an adequate
supp
l
y
of the
vaccine.
According to O'Brien, most doctors' offices have depleted
their supply as well. She said that the
government
and companies
will be focusing more on making the
vaccine available to elderly cit-
izens. "Colleges rate lower down on the [scale]," O'Brien
said.
"Most college students are not considered high risk
for the
flu."
Brendan Kelliher, a Marist student
currently
living
on campus, said
that
he
has
no problem with
college students
being
at the
bottom
of
the priority chain.
"If
the
elderly
are more high
risk,
tben it's no
question that they should be first in line," be
said. "They
have a
big-
ger danger of getting the flu,
so
it all makes
sense."
This
year's
high demand for the flu
shot
from
Marist students
will
also diminish the chances of the
vaccine's avaifability.
Any
student
who has recently decided to get a flu shot on campus
will
most like-
ly not be able to receive it.
Even
after more
vaccine shots
arrive at
Marist, the supply is reserved for
students
on the
waiting
list.
This
list, as of Nov. fl, has more than 110
students
on it
already.
O'Brien
said there might not be
vaccine
left after it
is administered
to
students
on the waiting
list.
Due to this possibility, O'Brien said that it
is
best
for students
who
want the vaccine
to
go to a physician at home and
get
the flu
shot
there. Another alternative is to find a
local
physician
in
the area that
might have access to a supply
of
the vaccine.
Matthew Driscoll, another Marist
student
living
on campus, said
that Marist has a responsibility to have the
vaccine in stock.
"Personally, it doesn't affect me because I
have
no desire to
get
the
shot," he said. "But if there are people who want the flu
shot,
then

MCCTA to stage premiere of' All the Girls Love Bobby Kennedy'
By
ALEXANDRIA BRIM
Staff W

The Marist College Council on
Theatre
Arts
(MCCTA)
is
pro-
ducing the world premiere of
"All the Girls Love Bobby
Kennedy" by Kristen Palmer.
The production is staged by the
Experiment
T
h
eatre
Guild.
Performances will
be
held Nov.
18, 19 and 20
in
the Ne!Jy Golett
i
Theatre.
"All the Girls Love Bobby
Kennedy" tells of a college girl
who watches her life change in
the turbulent 1960s. As her rela-
tionships change among friends
,
families and her fiance, she tries
great show. The directors are
great and the cast is getting along
really well," she said.
"Bobby Kennedy" is directed
by
Marist sen
i
ors Joe Matero and
Brian Sabella. The two have
been wo
r
king
with
Palmer to
bring her work to life on the
Marist stage. "Besides being a
great script, cast and crew, it's
always worth
it
to
be part of a
world premiere," Sabella said.
Eddie Grossk.reuz, a senior at
Marist, is Bobby Kennedy, a
r
eal
life
figure. "It's a rea
ll

show
with
a great message
behind
it," Grosskreuz said.

SLA Th
e
atre to Ho
l
d Audit
i
on
s
for spring production of "Noises Off'
By
PAT
PHILLIPS
Circ
l
e Contributor
Marist College School of
Liberal Arts will be holding
auditions
for
the spring produ~-
tion of "Noises Off,"
the
hilari-
ous slapstick farce by Michael
Frayn. Considered to be one of
the funniest comedies of the last
25 years, Frayn
'
s play is one long
howl from beginning to end.
"Noises Off" is
a play within a
play and presents the story of
a
hap
l
ess Engl
i
sh acting troupe
touring a produc
t
ion of
a
farce
called
"Nothing
On." Ther& are
lots of slamming doors
~
sexual
da
lli
ances
,
confusions
,
and
,
of
course, plate
s
of sardines. And
the background concerning the
romantic troupe is every bit as
convo
l
uted.
As
the
plot begins to
unfold,
nine characters prepare
to open
a
show without their lines memo-
rized, the staging completed
,
or
the set finished
.
But that does
not stop them from traipsing up
and down a daunting staircase
,
barreling through eight different
doorway
s
, hidi
n
g in the aisles,
and falling through bay windows
to the giant English country
estate set.
What is interesting about
"Noi
s
es
Off'
is that the audience
gets to see the same play three
time
s,
but never in exactly the
same manner. With each succes-
sive act
,
Frayn takes the audi-
ence from a terrifying dress
rehearsal of a first act of a dread-
ful comedy
,
through that same
scene a month later, backstage
during a matinee performance as
the cast's personal problems
begin to take over, and fina
ll
y
ending onstage two
m
onths later,
when the company has com
-
pletely unraveled and the pro-
duct
i
on is going down the toilet.
After the serious subject matter
of "The Laramie Project
,
" SLA
Theatre's
fall
production that was
performed this past September
,
"Noises
Off"
turns the tables to
present a joyou
s
and laughingly
delightful evening that will
entertain the crankiest of individ-
uals.
Auditions for "Noises
Off" will be held on
Tuesday
and
Wednesday evenings,
Nov. 29 and 30, at 9:00
PM in the Nelly Goletti
Theatre, on the third
floor of the Student
Center. No acting expe-

Special-interest floors house freshmen with common ties
By KATHRYN
ZWEIFEL
Circle Contributor
While it is typical for students
to claim they live in the academ-
ic buildings designated for their
major
,
some freshmen this year
really
are living where they are
learning.
Last year, Marist Housing
introduced a new program into a
freshman dorm
-
the science
floor of Champagnat Hall,
specifically reserved for fresh-
men with science majors. This
school year, Champagnat Hall is
host to two specialized floors
called "living and learning com-
munities." They cater to
fresh-
men involved in community
service or majoring in science.

"We like

English said. "We

is to use one of the floors with

Other plans include com-

in
an
area such as Marian Hall to

also said student suggestions for
living

students are interested in having

Torero scores four touchdowns to ruin Foxes' SoCal trip
By NATE FIELDS
Staff
Writer
[n
a game dominated by two
high-powered
offenses,
the
Marist football team fell to
Division
1-AA's, number-one
ranked San Diego University,
42-35,
last
Saturday at Torero
Stadium.
The Foxes failed to bold an
early 14-0
lead
,
as San Diego
evened the score at halftime, and
proceeded to
pour
on 28 points in
the second
half.
The loss was Marist's fow:th of
the waning season.
Head coach Jim Parady said
that despite the loss, the
team
gave a
s
trong
perfonnance.
"I
was
not happ
y
with the out-
come; obviously it was a loss,"
he
said.
"But
I
was very happy
with the intensity and effort we
put
forth."
After Surrendering just 14 first
half points, the Red Foxes'
defense failed to contain San
Diego's offense (which averages
over
40
points per contes9 in the
second half. The teams traded
touchdowns
until the fourth
quarter when
.
San Diego capital-
ized on a Red Fox turnover and
went on top 42-28.
After Marist scored a touch-
down to get within seven points,
the Toreros recovered Marist's
onside kick to end the start of a
comeback.
Marist started \b_e game with
momentum, as
junior
defensive
back
Huck
Correia
intercepted
Josh Johnson's pass, ending San
Diego's first drive of the game!
After a
10-yard return
by
Correia, the Marist offense set
up
shop.
Almost six minutes and twelve
plays
later,
sophomore running
back Bo Ehikioya bulldozed into
the end zone from a yard out to
give Marist
an
early 7-0 advan-
tage.
It
was Ehikioya's
13th
touchdown of the season.
On San Diego's ensuing
pos-
session, three
plays
produced
only five yards, and the Toreros
were forced
to
punt. Marist's spe-
cial teams came up with a
block
,
however,
handing
the ball back
to the offense deep in San Diego
territory.
With first and goal from the
nine-yard line
,
Marist quarter-
back James Luft
lofted
a high.
pass
to senior Guy Smith, who
ran
a fade route
in
the comer of
the end zone. Smith corralled the
pass, and set the Marist record
for
touchdown
receptions in a
season with bis sixth.
Parady said that building a
14-
0
lead
on the road against the
best mid-major
team
in
the
coun-
try
pumped the team up.
"We had gained a
lot
of confi-
dence and momentum, but knew
we
had
to keep playing," be said.
The
Torero offense, which had
put
up 60 or
more
points in
its
previous two games, then started
to
find
its
rhythm.
Johnson found his favorite
receiver
Adam Hannula for a
15-
yard scoring strike at the 8:57,
bringing
the score to
14-7
.
On
San
Diego
's
next possession,
running back Jon Polk scored the
first of bis four touchdowns on
the
day.
Having each dominated a
quar-
ter of the first half, the teams
entered
halftime
tied 14-14.
After Marist
punted
to open the
second half, the Toreros took just
foll! plays to reach the Marist
one-yard line. Polk
punched
in
his second touchdown, giving bis
team a 21-14 advantage.
After freshman Nick
Andre
returned San Diego's kickoff to
the 35-yard line, Luft again
stepped into the spotlight. He
picked up huge blocks from
both
Ehikioya and junior running
back Frankie Farrington and
sprinted 65 yards into the end
zone.
It
was Luft's 5th rushing
touchdown of the season, and it
evened the score at 21.
The scoring parade continued
for
San
Diego, as Johnson com-
pleted
all three of his pass
attempts. He later s'cored from
two yards out.
Marist responded
in
good fash-
ion.
On
third down and 16, Luft
found junior receiver Andrew
Smith for 21 yards and
a
first
down.
Later during the possession,
Luft dropped back to pass and
eyed his favorite
target
,
Guy
Smith, who
hauled
in
the
pass
and gained 53 yards
to
the San
Diego six-yard line.
Parady said
Luft
and Smith
respond well to each other on
the
field.
"He [Smith] and Luft have a
special connection,"
he
said. "He
is our go-to receiver, when we
need a play, we look
to
him."
Smith has accumulated over
600
yards
receiving
this year,
and is averaging a whopping
15.2
yards
~r
reception.
Two plays
later,
at the 2:22
mark in the third
quarter,
Ehilcioya
had his
second
touch-
down of the game.
The Torero's
then chewed up
over five minutes of clock,·
mounting
an
eleven-play
drive
that
was
capped
by
Polk's third
touchdown.
With San
Diego leading
35-28,
Torero Philip Bretsch intercepted
Jamd
Luft
at
the
San
Diego
43-
yard line. Bretsch returned the
interception
55
yards down to
Marist's two~yard linC.
It
took Polk two rushes to cash
in
his
fourth score of the game,
giving them a 14 point
lead.
Andre fumbled
the
kickoff
return,
but the Torero's failed to
capitalize on the good
field
posi-
tion, handing the ball back to
Marist after failing to convert on
fourth
down.
The Foxes then put together
perhaps
their most impressive
drive of the season.
Luft
guided
the
offense 75 yards in just over
two minutes,
handing
it to
Ebik.ioya for a one-yard score.
Despite the loss, Marist
moved

'I couldn't have done anything
without the help from my team-
mates,
"
Detelj said.
Detelj's comer kick at the 70th
minute mark took
a
strange
bounce
,
eventually striking the
cross bar. The ball was later
smacked into the back of the net
thanks
to
Fanutzzo.
The two point differential was
enough, despite
a
late
'
Fairfield
goal with minutes
remaining in
the game.
Next up
for
the Foxes is Big
East powerhouse St. Johns's at
Benson Stadium. The Red Storm
came into the tournament earn-
ing an at-large bid with a 9-5-5
record and a 3-1-2 record against
ranked teams.
Coach Herodes said he hopes
his team can make some noise
and knock off St. John's and
advance furthe
r
1han last year
when they fell
to
the University
of Connecticut, 2-1, in overtime
.
"
We'd like to make some histo-
ry
,
" be said. "'We'd like to
be
the
first Marist team to win an
NCAA tournament game and
advance
to
ttie
second round."
