PITTSFORD, N.Y. – The St. John Fisher College men's basketball remained unbeaten in Empire 8 play and extended its winning streak to six games with an 84-63 win over Stevens Institute of Technology on Saturday on Bobby Wanzer Court in Manning and Napier Varsity Gym.  The win moved Fisher to 11-4 overall and 6-0 in the conference standings while the Ducks fell to 12-4 on the season and 6-2 against conference opponents.

Stevens came out firing with back-to-back 3-pointers over the game's first two minutes to take a slim lead, 6-3.  The advantage would quickly turn, however, as Fisher's offense caught fire.  The Cardinals scored 21 of the contest's next 25 points including two different 8-0 runs led by four 3-point field goals from freshman Sammy Robinson to claim a 24-10 lead with 12:36 left to play in the opening half.

The Ducks responded with four quick points of their own to pull to within 10 points at 10:43, 24-14, but it did little to slow down Fisher's high-powered offense as the Cardinals erupted for 22 unanswered points in a span of 5:36 to make it a 32-point affair, 48-16.  During the run, seven different players scored a point led by James Leone's five points. 

Fisher continued to pour it on as the half wound down and took a 24-point edge into halftime, 56-32, despite a four-point run by Stevens to close out the frame.
 
The visitor's run spilled over into the start of the second half as Stevens scored six more points before the Cardinals halted the spree with a lay-up by Dennis Hare.  From there, both teams found a groove as Stevens scored six unanswered before Fisher responded with seven consecutive points of its own to make it 78-55 with 5:53 left to play.

The Ducks would come as close as 19 points down the stretch, but the lead was too great as Fisher posted the 21-point win.

Robinson led all scorers with a career-best 18 points.  The freshman also added four rebounds and a steal in the win.  Hare finished with 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting while Tyler English and Leone finished with 11 and 10 points, respectively.  Keegan Ryan contributed eight points and eight boards to Fisher's cause. 
    
Defensively, Fisher held Stevens to just 32.3 percent shooting overall (20-for-62) while limiting the Ducks to just four made 3-pointers all game.  As a team, the Cardinals shot 26-for-51 (.510) and buried eight triples in all. 

The Cardinals take on Houghton College in Empire 8 play at 6 p.m. on Tuesday at home.
