Both the men's and women's basketball programs at St. John Fisher College will look to extend their respective winning streak to eight games on Friday, as the Cardinals travel to Oneonta to face Hartwick College.  

Fisher's Saturday-doubleheader at Stevens Institute of Technology has been postponed and rescheduled for Friday, January 29th with blizzard-like conditions predicted for the weekend in Hoboken, N.J.
