St. John Fisher Tops Wesleyan For First Home Victory in Program History

FAIRPORT, NY – The St. John Fisher women's ice hockey team recorded its first-ever victory on its home ice on Friday night, topping Wesleyan 2-1 at the Rochester Ice Center. The Cardinals improved to 3-5-1 overall, and Wesleyan slipped to 0-6-1. 

How It Happened

After a scoreless opening period, the Cardinals broke through six minutes into the second frame on Keira Reckley's unassisted power-play goal. The Cardinals doubled their lead in the late stages of the period when Sophie Grant found the twine on a feed from Eibhleann Knox.

Wesleyan got on the board early in the third period on Parker Caldara's unassisted goal, but Fisher preserved a one-goal lead the rest of the way. 

Cardinals goalkeeper Brynn Bacak finished the game with 34 saves, making a game-high 13 stops in the final period. 

Game Notes

  • Bacak has made 30 or more saves in six of Fisher's nine games this season. 

  • Reckley and Grant recorded their team-leading third goals of the season. 

  • The Cardinals snapped a three-game losing skid at home.
