“This was a big game for us and one we wanted to make sure we took care of,” Marist coach Mike Fitzgerald said. “I thought this was a game we were in control of, but we couldn’t pull away.
“I was just proud of the way the kids battled. Our defense played really well and they limited (Carmel). They have a pretty high-scoring offense and I was really pleased with how our defense showed up and they had some stands down by the goal line. … I thought this was a good team effort.”
