Fellow veteran, senior Shaniah Hazard (Providence, R.I.) added six points and junior Tatiana Bruno (Ridgefield Park, N.J.) chipped in with four points in a reserve effort for Fisher.

Bryant saw four of their starters registered double-digit points, however sophomore Juliette Golden (Millville, Mass.) came off the bench and recorded the game-high 20 points.
