All-Time Against Bryant
The Last Time They Met
Last season's thriller went to a shoot-out after Quinnipiac tied the game late in regulation, on Lauren Belskie's first career goal. The Bobcats grabbed an early lead off a marker by Haley Swartz before Bryant's Rosie Bird scored twice to give the host Bulldogs a 2-1 lead. After Belskie's goal with less than two minutes to play, Megan Osanitsch played the hero with a shoot-out clinching goal.
