Beat KP!
Last time out, Maritime upended the Merchant Marine Mariners on Friday, September 18 by the score of 24-14 in Kings Point, N.Y.
 
In the game, running back Nick Fischetti (Seaford, N.Y./Seaford) rushed for a touchdown and later threw a pass to Matt Ward (Ronkonkoma, N.Y./Sachem North) to put 14 points on the board. Chilcott also found Joe Modica (East Islip, N.Y./East Islip) for a 16-yard score, while Dietrich also chipped in a 33-yard field goal to cap off the offensive plays.
 
Defensively, Knight recorded 12 tackles and also had four tackles for a loss in yardage, with two coming for sacks. Eric Wallace (West Point, N.Y./James O'Neill) also chipped in with seven tackles, as did Payton Campbell (Rockaway, N.J./Morris Knolls). Brian Price (New York, N.Y./Wadleigh) picked up five tackles, while three others added four apiece. Beau Warrington (Milford, Del./Sussex Technical) and Nick Conte (Franklin Square, N.Y./Carey) also picked up pass breakups.
 
Off and Running
On kickoff returns, Karl Riek (Sweetwater, N.J./Cedar Creek) picked up two kickoff returns against Merchant Marine for a 27-yard average. He even had a game-high 30-yard return to open up the contest against the Mariners.
 
Two's a Crowd?
With his passing touchdown in the team's last game, Fischetti became just the second-ever Maritime football player to pass, rush and receive a touchdown in his career. He joins Greg Campisi, who recorded six rushing touchdowns, five passing touchdowns, and one receiving touchdown in his career to establish the elite group of Privateers.
 
On Pace to Reach the Top
With two touchdown receptions apiece, both Ward and Modica are four shy of tying the single-season record of six receiving touchdowns in a single year. The mark was set back during the 2010 season, when Erik Heedles pulled down six touchdown receptions.
 
Knight is also on pace to shatter the single-season sacks list with his 5.5 sacks thus far on the year. He is 2.5 sacks shy of tying Hugh O'Brien (Westbury, N.Y./Westbury)'s single-season mark of eight during the 2013 season.
