ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Senior Nicholas Miller of the nationally-ranked St. John Fisher College men's lacrosse team became the program's all-time leading scorer on Saturday as the Cardinals who are ranked 14th in the latest United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association poll, defeated host Nazareth College, 17-6, in a non-conference battle inside Golden Flyer Stadium.  With the win, Fisher improved to 6-3 on the year while Nazareth fell to 1-5 following the loss.

As the game wore on, Nazareth would get one back, but the Cardinals countered with a goal of their own as Tucker O'Donnell hit Brennan O'Brien to give Fisher a 17-6 win.
