UTICA, NY – Senior guard Katie Moravec surpassed 1,000 career points as the St. John Fisher women's basketball team remained unbeaten in Empire 8 Conference play with a 79-69 win over Utica on Friday night at the Clark Athletic Center. 

The Cardinals improved to 15-4 overall (10-0 Empire 8), while the Pioneers fell to 3-16 on the season (1-9 Empire 8). The victory marked Fisher's 23rd in a row over Utica, a streak that began in January 2013. 

Moravec, who scored 20 points while shooting 8 of 17 from the field, joined Fisher's 1,000-point club with a layup midway through the third quarter. She's one of two active St. John Fisher players with more than 1,000 or more career points (fellow senior guard Sidney Tomasso is the other). 

Congratulations to Katie Moravec on accomplishing 1,000 career points!
