Fisher Ranked 8th in Latest NFCA Poll
The St. John Fisher College softball team dropped to eighth in the latest National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) weekly Division III poll.
The Cardinals were ranked 2nd in last week's poll midway through its spring break trip in Kissimmee, Fla. Fisher finished its trip with an 8-2 record.
The Cardinals haven't had a game since returning north and may not for awhile due to the northeast snow storm.
