PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- The St. John Fisher University field hockey team won their second straight game Friday night, overwhelming conference competitors Medaille College 11-0. With the win, Fisher improves to 4-6 on the season and 3-1 in the Empire 8 conference, while Medaille slips to 2-7 on the season and 2-2 in Empire 8 play. 

After a scoreless first quarter of play, Fisher took control in the second period, scoring three goals in four minutes. Sophomore Molly Fisher got the Cardinals on the board on an assist from Emma Cooper. The Cardinals continued to propel forward as Taylor Scrocca scored her first goal on an assist by Morgan Flatley. Fisher then added two more goals to secure a hat-trick in the second frame. Audrey Grieb was the other scorer as the team tallied five goals in 15 minutes of action. 

The Cardinals padded their lead in the third period, on goals from Grieb, Gianna Palma, and Anna Melfi. Grieb tabbed as the player to watch this week finished with three goals and six points on seven shots, six of which were on goal. These marks are all career highs for the sophomore.

Fisher padded her total goals by adding one in the fourth period, her fourth of the day. The sophomore finished with four goals, eight points, and seven shots. Her four goals and eight points tops her previous record of three and seven, respectively, which was set on 11/2/2021 against rival Nazareth College. 

Behind terrific defense from the Cardinals, Medaille was only able to get one shot off all game. This marks the first time the defense has held the opposition to zero shots on goal since 10/13/2021 at Keuka. 

Fisher will look to continue their strong performance on Sunday, when they head to Vermont for a matchup against Middlebury College.
