All-Time Against the Black Bears
In Quinnipiac's 15 season history, the Bobcats are 8-11-1 all-time against the Maine Black Bears. Despite Maine owning the series between the programs, Quinnipiac has won six straight games dating back to the 2012-13 season, including two games in Orono in 2013-14. The Bobcats shutout the Black Bears in their last two matchups in Hamden last season, 4-0 and 2-0. Taylar Cianfarano scored two goals while Emma Woods and Erica Uden Johansson tallied one each in the first game of the series to win, 4-0. Cianfarano scored her fifth goal of the season in game two of the series while Nicole Connery added an insurance goal for the Bobcats.
Scouting the Black Bears
The Black Bears come into this weekend's contest with a record of 1-1-0 (1-1-0 WHEA) after one weekend of play where they faced the New Hampshire Wildcats and Boston University Terriers. Maine defeated New Hampshire in the season opener on Oct. 2 with a 4-0 win before falling to Boston University on Oct. 4, 4-2. In the loss to the Terriers, the Black Bears had jumped out to an early 2-0 lead before allowing four unanswered goals to lose. Senior forward Audra Richards scored four goals in the opening weekend, including an opening night hat trick against the Wildcats to lead the Black Bears. Emilie Brigham and Brooke Stacey also scored for the Black Bears while Brigham also added an assist for a two-point weekend. Goaltender Meghann Treacy was spectacular for the Black Bears, recording 68 saves on 71 shots for a .958 save percentage. She also posted a 1.50 GAA. The Black Bears were just as good on special teams, netting one goal and only giving up one over the weekend.
