Field Hockey Overwhelms Oberlin With Record-Breaking Performance

The St. John Fisher College field hockey team set a new school record for goals scored in a game as the Cardinals defeated Oberlin College 8-1 at Growney Stadium on Sunday. The eight goal mark eclipsed the previous record of six goals set on October 11, 2014, in a 6-0 victory over Nazareth College.
 
Fisher (2-1) overwhelmed Oberlin (0-2) from the start of the contest as senior Elizabeth Cusack found her way through the Yeowomen defense to score the game's first goal in the fifth minute.
 
Just five minutes later, Cusack fed a pass in front of the net to Emily Markarian who sent a shot to the back of the net to give the Cardinals a 2-0 advantage in the 10th minute.
 
Fisher would finish the half up 6-0 after two more goals from Markarian in the 20th and 29th minutes to go along with scores from Cusack and freshman Keeley Samsonik in the 16th and 33rd minutes respectively. The six first half goals represented the most goals ever scored in a half in Fisher field hockey history.
 
Picking up where she left off in the first half, Markarian recorded her game-high fourth goal of the game in 44th minute to push the score to 7-0 in favor of the Cardinals. With the four-goal performance, the sophomore matched her own record from a season ago (10/11/2014) for most goals scored in a game by a Fisher field hockey player. The Orchard Park native now has five goals on the season, good for first on the team.
 
After freshman Lauren Fazio tallied another Fisher goal in the 46th minute, Oberlin responded with a goal of their own in the 66th minute, resulting in the 8-1 score-line that would hold as the final result.
 
Cusack finished with two goals and an assist in the contest while junior Gabby LaForce managed to tally two assists for the Cardinals.
 
Senior Danielle Famolaro had the start in goal for Fisher as she picked up her second win of the season to move to 2-1 overall.
 
The Cardinals are back in action at 10 a.m. on Saturday when they travel to Hoboken, NJ for their first Empire 8 Conference game of the season against Stevens Institute of Technology.
