St. John Fisher University Athletics

Tyler English (St. Mary’s/Lockport) of the St. John Fisher College men’s basketball team has been named the College’s Male Athlete of the Week after helping lead the Cardinals to a pair of wins during the week that ended February 12, 2017.

English averaged 20.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists over the two-game span and shot 13-for-22 (.590) from the floor overall.

Against Alfred, the junior posted just seven points, but closed out the week with a career-high 33 points in a double overtime win against Nazareth College on Saturday.  In that game, English hit the game-tying shot in the first overtime period and would go on to notch 18 points overall in extra time to lift Fisher to the all-important Empire 8 victory. 

English and the rest of the men’s basketball team will close out their home schedule at 8 p.m. on Wednesday when they host Elmira College on Bobby Wanzer Court in Manning and Napier Varsity Gym.
