It was a career night for several Ohio Northern football players, as ONU rolled to a 62-21 victory over Marietta on Halloween Night on Saturday at Dial-Roberson Stadium.

The Polar Bears improve to 6-2 overall and are 5-2 in Ohio Athletic Conference play, while the Pioneers fall to 1-7, 1-6.

Senior Justin Magazine ran 24 times for a career-high 200 yards and a TD and senior Devon Price caught 10 passes for a career-high 182 yards and three TDs, but sophomore Ricardo Johnson may have had the biggest night of all for the ONU defense.
