Hughes Sets All-Time Record As Cardinals Cruise Past Naz

St. John Fisher College's Taylor Hughes became the women's lacrosse program's all-time leader in points on Saturday, as the senior helped lift the nationally-ranked Cardinals to a 13-4 win over Nazareth College in an Empire 8 Conference matchup.

Hughes tallied one goal and three assists, bringing her career point total to 270, breaking the old mark of 267, set last spring by All-American Melissa Leonard.  Hughes (188 goals, 82 assists) needs just five goals and one more assist to become the College's all-time leader in those two categories as well.

Hughes registered two points during her team's 7-0 run over the game's opening 12:17, and the No. 14 Cardinals never looked back.

Fisher (7-2 overall, 2-1 Empire 8) finished the game with a decisive advantage in shots (31-12) and forced the Golden Flyers (3-5, 0-1) into 19 turnovers, while committing just 10.

Samantha Barton led Fisher with five points on four goals and one assist.  She also tallied a team-high four draw controls.

Erin Ward and Sierra Badger both tallied three points on one goal and two assists.

Lindsey Shoales and Emily Bryerton both scored two goals, while Jordan Johnson registered two points on a goal and an assist.

Marykate Edmunds led the Fisher defense with three caused turnovers.

Caroline Trpcevski and Nicole Hart both played one half in net.

The Cardinals will return to action on at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday at SUNY Geneseo.
