Burkhart Makes Program History, Men's Soccer Beats Keuka 6-0 On Senior Day

PITTSFORD, N.Y. – The St. John Fisher men's soccer team set a season-high in goals, and goalkeeper Christian Burkhart made program history as the Cardinals dominated Keuka College 6-0 on Saturday afternoon at Growney Stadium. 

Fisher (8-4-4 overall) improved to 7-1-2 in the Empire 8 with the Senior Day victory, setting the stage for a massive regular-season finale against crosstown rival Nazareth at 3 p.m. on Wednesday at NLPA Field. The winner will secure the No. 1 seed for the conference's postseason tournament.
