PITTSFORD, N.Y. – The St. John Fisher University football team were at home on Saturday to take on SUNY Morrisville. It was a defensive battle with neither team collecting more than 235 total yards. Fisher was unable to end their scoring drought and fell by a final score of 10-3.
 
It was a slow start for both teams in their first drives, as they went three and out and punted. The Mustangs then went 45 yards in 13 plays to kick the field goal to go ahead 3-0. Fisher was unable to answer, as they punted after six plays. Later in the second quarter, Morrisville was driving, but after a tackle for loss by Zach Dreisbach and Trent Sherman, Deorion Moore broke up a pass to force a 32 yard field goal attempt that was missed. Fisher ended the first half with a 13 play, 62 yards drive that looked to end with a field goal, but it was blocked by the Mustangs and the Cardinals trailed 3-0 after the first two quarters.
 
Fisher began the third quarter with the ball and Malachi Duvall sparked the offense with rushes of 10, 13 and 21 yards to get the ball into Morrisville territory. Brody Vincenzi then completed passes to Richie Quinn, Declan Faery, Gabe Maloni and Max Bates to give Kyle Farewell and 39 yard field goal attempt that he knocked in to even the score. However the Mustangs answered with their next possession by scoring a touchdown to go in front 10-3. The Cardinals had a few chances later in the fourth quarter, but they were unable to convert and even the score.
