Field Hockey Opens Conference Play With 3-0 Win Over Sage

PITTSFORD, N.Y. – The St. John Fisher field hockey team opened Empire 8 Conference play on Saturday with a 3-0 victory over Russell Sage at Growney Stadium. 

Three different players scored goals, and sophomore midfielder Sydney Byrns tallied a pair of assists in the victory, which moved the Cardinals to 3-2 overall. The Gators fell to 2-3 overall (1-1 Empire 8). 

How it Happened

  • A little over two minutes into the game, sophomore Avery McLaughlin scored her first collegiate goal on a perfectly placed feed from Byrns. 

  • Just before the opening quarter ended, junior defender Caitlyn Mahoney connected with sophomore attacker Sam Current to put the Cardinals ahead 2-0. The goal marked Current's fourth of the season. 

  • In the fourth quarter senior defender Haley Acevedo finishes a great pass from McLaughlin that put the Cardinals ahead 3-0.

  • The Cardinals limited Russell Sage to just five shots (two on goal). Fisher attempted 17 shots and put 10 of them on net. 

Game Notes 

  • McLaughlin had three points with her one goal and one assist making it her first multiple point game.
  • Current, who leads Fisher in goals, has scored in each of the last three games.

  • Mahoney tallied her first collegiate assist. 

  • Sophomore goalkeeper Morgan Parrinello made two saves in her second shutout of the season.

  • The Cardinals have won seven consecutive games against the Gators. Fisher has held Sage scoreless in five of those games.
