Field Hockey Rolls Past Elmira, 7-0

ELMIRA, N.Y. – The St. John Fisher field hockey team earned a dominant 7-0 shutout victory over Elmira College on Saturday. The Cardinals improve to 5-7 overall and 2-2 in Empire 8 play, while the Soaring Eagles fall to 3-8 overall and 2-4 in conference play.

How It Happened

The Cardinals got off to a fast start, opening the scoring just 25 seconds into the game. Senior midfielder Mary Kate McPhee found junior midfielder Holly Stuart, who sent the ball into the back of the cage to give Fisher an early lead. Less than two minutes later, freshman midfielder Makayla Vanderpool doubled the advantage with a goal assisted by freshman defender Maggie Gocella.

Fisher continued to apply pressure in the second quarter. Just over 10 minutes into the period, freshman defender Sadie McLeod and junior attacker Avery McLaughlin set up McPhee, who found the back of the cage to extend the Cardinals' lead to 3-0.

The Cardinals maintained their momentum after halftime. Just over six minutes into the third quarter, McPhee scored an unassisted goal to push the lead to four. Less than three minutes later, McLaughlin found Gocella, who buried a shot to give Fisher a 5-0 advantage.

Fisher added two more goals in the fourth quarter to complete the shutout. Five minutes into the period, freshman attacker Elizabeth Kilmer scored to extend the lead. With just under five minutes remaining, Kilmer assisted freshman attacker Mattingly Logan, who found the back of the cage to cap the scoring in the Cardinals' 7-0 victory.
