ST. PAUL, MINN. – Saturdays were made for college football, and this Saturday might be the most exciting of all for the University of St. Thomas. The Tommies are set to face off against the Marist Red Foxes in a pivotal Pioneer Football League (PFL) showdown. Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. CT, at Tenney Stadium in Poughkeepsie, New York.

Saturday's matchup is crucial as a win for either team would significantly boost its chances for the PFL title. Marist, coming off a significant victory against PFL favorite Drake, aims to maintain its undefeated conference record. Meanwhile, St. Thomas looks to capitalize on its recent scoring prowess, having earned a notable 64-21 victory over Stetson two weeks ago.
