BOX SCORE

The St. John Fisher College field hockey team dropped a 3-1 decision at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on Tuesday evening.  With the loss, Fisher falls to 2-3 overall, while RPI improves to 3-2.

In a fairly-even game (Fisher held an 18-17 advantage in shots taken with both teams taking six penalty corners), the Engineers took the lead for goad in the 10th minute.    Rensselaer pushed its lead to 2-0 midway through the second half, but Fisher's Elizabeth Cusack made it a one-goal game with just under five minutes left.

The Engineers, however, sealed the win with a goal in the closing moments.  Goalie Danielle Famolaro stopped three shots for the Cardinals.

Fisher returns to action next Wednesday at Houghton College.
