Lander has scored three or more goals in seven of its 10 wins this season and has outscored opponents 27-5 in those contests.

Both sides had chances in the first half, but neither the Bearcats nor Saints were able to find the back of the net.

Marriott is up to 16 goals, 10 assists and 42 points this season. He is now tied with Clement Dauchy for the most goals scored since 2010 and is just the third Bearcat since 2006 to hit or surpass 40 points.
