THROGGS NECK, N.Y. - The Maritime football team gets back to action this Friday, when the team travels to Kings Point, N.Y. to take on the Merchant Marine Mariners at 7 p.m.
 
The Privateers are coming off their first loss of the 2015 season last Saturday against Mass. Maritime.
 
Junior defensive back Brian Price (New York, N.Y./Wadleigh) led the team with 10 total tackles against the Buccaneers to lead the defense. Maritime's lone touchdown came on a pass from junior Thomas Wright (Wantagh, N.Y./Wantagh) to classmate Joe Modica (East Islip, N.Y./East Islip), who streaked out of the backfield for a 33-yard touchdown.
 
Senior Diogo Dietrich (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil/DePaul Catholic (N.J.)) connected on 42 and 47-yard field goals as well as one extra point to lead the team in scoring with seven points. Dietrich narrowly missed a 52-yard field goal, which would have been the longest kick in program history.
