The nationally-ranked St. John Fisher College women's lacrosse team earned its fourth win on the year with a 14-9 victory over host Buffalo State College on Saturday.
 
Fisher, ranked No. 17 in the latest coaches poll, faced a tied game at 1s, 2s and 5s with 5:46 left in the first half.
 
The Cardinals took off at that point with two goals from Lindsey Shoales in less than 30 seconds to lead 7-5 at halftime.
 
Fisher continued to score goals, tallying five straight in about five minutes of the second half.
 
Three players – Jordan Johnson, Samantha Barton and Shoales – notched a trio of goals. Four other Cardinals recorded tallies to pace the offense.
 
Nicole Hart made nine saves in the win to improve to 3-1 in goal.
 
Fisher returns to action at 3 p.m. Saturday when the Cardinals host Ithaca College in both teams' Empire 8 opener.
