On Wednesday, Lennox’s overtime penalty kick goal clinched the win for the Cardinals, as they defeated SUNY Geneseo 2-1.  Lennox also recorded an assist against the Blue Knights.

            On Saturday, Lennox led the Cardinals to a Halloween night victory tallying a goal and two assists.  The Cardinals defeated conference opponent Alfred 4-1.

Lennox also garnered Empire 8 Player of the Week honors. 

            In addition to his local honors, Lennox was recognized regionally, as he was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District 2009-10 First Team for his combined successes on the playing field as well as in the classroom.  Lennox has maintained a 4.0 grade-point average in each semester at Fisher.

            The Cardinals’ Empire 8 championship hopes depend on the outcome of their upcoming contest against host Elmira College, which will be replayed on Tuesday beginning at 7 p.m.  With a win or draw, the Cardinals will advance to the semi-finals of the Championship, facing host Nazareth on Friday.
