The Cardinals (12-3 overall, 1-0 UVC) won by scores of 25-17, 25-17 and 30-28.

Gillard's consecutive kills gave Nazareth (8-6, 1-1) a 24-23 lead late in the third set but St. John Fisher rallied and extended the set before winning 30-28 to cap the match.

Gillard led the Golden Flyers with his 13 kills and sophomore Antonio Sargent added 10 kills. Senior Tyler Farnung handed out 35 assists, junior Luis Vazquez had nine digs and junior Sean Dillon served a pair of aces to pace Nazareth.
