The St. John Fisher College field hockey team won its third straight game and earned a victory in its Empire 8 conference season opener, as the Cardinals came away with a 3-1 win at Stevens Institute of Technology on Saturday.
 
With the win, Fisher improves to 3-1 overall and 1-0 in the Empire 8, while the Ducks fall to 1-2, 0-1.
 
Trailing 1-0 at the half, Fisher got things going in the second period. The Cardinals tied it up in the 41st minute with a goal by Lauren Fazio off a pass from Emily Markarian.
 
Just over three minutes later, Markarian would score the eventual game-winning goal, making this her third straight game scoring at least one goal for the Cardinals.
 
Elizabeth Cusack added an insurance goal in the 60th minute, unassisted, bringing the score to 3-1.
 
Stevens outshot the cardinals 19-9, but Famolaro was ready and able to make a season-high 12 saves.
 
Fisher returns to action at 4 p.m. on Wednesday as it takes on SUNY Cortland.
