MIDDLETOWN, Pa. – The St. John Fisher College women's basketball team remained unbeaten on the season as the Cardinals, who are receiving votes in the latest D3hoops.com national poll, cruised to a 76-56 win over Widener University on Saturday as part of the Penn State Harrisburg Tournament.  With the win, Fisher improved to 5-0 while the Pride fell to 3-1 following the loss.

Senior Miranda Lynch led the Cardinals with a season-best 21 points after burying five shots from downtown.  Kaitlyn Walker notched a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds including eight on the offensive glass while Claire Kruszka finished with 10 points, nine assists and seven rebounds over 27 minutes.  Sidney Tomasso chipped in with nine points of her own while Katie Moravec added six points and a steal off the bench.

After falling behind by a point to tip-off the third quarter, the Cardinals drained three straight 3-pointers as part of a larger 11-2 run that opened up an eight-point edge, 40-32. 

As the quarter wore on, Widener cut the deficit to seven points late in the period, but Fisher responded by scoring the final five points of the frame including another 3-pointer to take a 55-43 cushion into the fourth.

Leading by 12 with 10 minutes remaining in the game, Fisher took over with Tomasso blocking a shot on one end of the floor before Kruszka dumped it off her on the other end for a lay-up that sparked a 10-3 burst that made it 70-53 in the Cardinals' favor.

With time winding down, the Pride cut the gap to 14 with a triple of their own, but was unable to keep pace down the stretch with Fisher rattling off the game's final six points to move on to Sunday's championship tilt.

As a team, Fisher was 28-for-60 from the floor including nine makes from behind the arc.  Head coach Melissa Kuberka's team was 11-for-15 from the charity stripe and held a sizable advantage on the glass after out-rebounding Widener, 47-27.

Fisher will be back in action at 3 p.m. on Sunday when it takes on Penn State Harrisburg.
