ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Hamilton College scored 17 straight points midway through the first half and never looked back as the Continentals comfortably defeated the St. John Fisher University Cardinals 70-54 in a non-conference matchup at St. John Fisher's Manning and Napier Varsity Gym on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 7.
