    Vokolos had 2.5 sacks, including a strip sack, to pace a defense that had six takeaways as Marist claimed its first-ever victory against San Diego, 30-16, Saturday.  With the game tied 7-7 in the second quarter, his strip-sack helped end a San Diego drive, ultimately leading to a Marist go-ahead touchdown drive.

After Presbyterian saw its overtime drive stall out, he hit the 34-yarder – his 10th field goal of the season – to clinch the win.
