The St. John Fisher College field hockey rewarded its first graduating senior class on Senior Day as the Cardinals cruised to 4-1 victory over Elmira College on Saturday at Growney Stadium.  Fisher has now matched the program record for wins in a season of 10, set during the 2013 season.
 
With the win, Fisher improves to 10-4 overall and remains a perfect 6-0 in Empire 8 play, while Elmira falls to 1-13, 0-7 respectively.  Fisher has already clinched a spot in the Empire 8 Championship where it can be no worse than the three seed.
 
Fisher took control from the beginning, outshooting the Soaring Eagles 20-2 in the first half.
 
Elizabeth Cusack started the scoring for the Cardinals following up her own shot after the Elmira goalie surrendered a rebound at the 15:50 mark of the half.
 
The score would remain 1-0 until Fisher turned out two more goals in final three minutes of the half.  Emily Markarian took advantage of a ball squirting to her feet, firing a shot into the net with just over two minutes to play.
 
Stacie Skidmore kept her point streak alive scoring an unassisted goal with just :09 seconds left in the half to push the scoring streak to seven games. 
 
Fisher took very little time to score the second half, scoring off a penalty corner three minutes in.  The Cardinals executed the corner to perfection as Skidmore settled a Marissa Vedella pass before Liz Baldwin blasted in her second goal of the season.
 
Elmira broke its scoreless drought in the 48^th minute as Megan Brain was able to sneak a shot passed Danielle Famolaro.
 
Famolaro ended the game with on save in net for the Cardinals.
 
Fisher returns to action at 4 p.m. on Tuesday when it will host William Smith for non-conference action.
