St. John Fisher University Athletics

Ryan Seymour (Saratoga Springs/Middle Grove) of the nationally-ranked St. John Fisher College football team has been selected as the College’s Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending November 17, 2013.

Seymour had a stellar outing on defense in a 48-13 win over Alfred University in Courage Bowl IX on Saturday.  The Cardinals held the previously top-ranked offense in the Empire 8, to its second lowest point total of the season.

The senior had an interception of quarterback Dominic Salvo late in the second quarter, returning it 46 yards to the Alfred 13.  Cody Miller scored on the next play to make the score 41-7.

Fisher scored six touchdowns in the second quarter, setting a new program record for points scored in a single quarter.

 Seymour finished with three tackles and three pass breakups on the day.

With the win Fisher improves to 8-2 overall and 5-2 in the Empire 8 Conference, earning the Cardinals an at-large bid into the 2013 NCAA Division III Football Championship.

Fisher will travel to John Carroll University for a 12 p.m. kickoff Saturday at Don Shula Stadium.
