The Red Foxes battled on Sunday afternoon to gain a 1-0 victory over Canisius (3-3-1 MAAC).
The team's senior captain Keith Detelj did his job leading his team to victory by scoring the only goal of the day.
He was backed by a great performance by sophomore goaltender Marcelo Del Rio, who earned his first career shutout in the win.
The game was scoreless until Detelj scored the game-winner at 22:39. The pass from freshman Kevin Brown was deflected off of the left goal post by the senior captain and in to beat Canisius keeper Matt Houghton for the goal.
Houghton was more than solid in net for Canisius, stopping nine of Marist's ten shots on goal in a great game. He, however, came up short of Del Rio's performance, as the Red Fox goalkeeper stopped all eight of Canisius' shots on goal.
Del Rio's final save of the game was his biggest, as he was able to stop a corner kick by Canisius with only 10 seconds remaining. The Golden Griffs brought everyone to the box on the kick, but no one could manage to get one past Del Rio. The sophomore goalie put up arguably the best performance of his career at Marist in the shutout victory.
Canisius managed 19 shots, eight on goal, led by MAAC shooting leader, Alan McGreal with three.
Marist managed 23 shots, three each by Steve Fantuzzo and Scott Cameron and ten by Detelj. Marist had plenty of opportunities in the box as they took ten shots on goal, six by Detelj. Marist was in control for most of the game on offense but could not manage more than one goal on Golden Griffs' keeper Matt Houghton.
The Red Foxes' win follows a loss to Niagara, and a 1-0 loss at Loyola. With the win, Marist improves to 3-2 in home games this season, 3-4-1 in conference play, and 6-8-1 overall, good for seventh in the conference.
Marist will finish the regular season on Sat. Oct. 28 when the team travels to Siena to take on the Saints (1-6-1 MAAC).
