For Ochwat, her two goals against Yale give her 11 consecutive multiple-goal games dating back to last season.
Yale scored twice in the first three minutes as Kerri Fleishhacker and Christina Doherty gave the Bulldogs an early lead, 2-0. Quinnipiac's Carey potted the first of back-to-back free position shots to cut the Bulldogs lead in half before Fountain on the second just 34 seconds later.
Quinnipiac controlled play for the next several minutes, with the score knotted at 2-2 until the 16th minute. Doherty then scored her second of the day, and the first of six unanswered Yale goals. Fleishhacker scored twice in the Bulldogs' run while Tess McEvoy, Erin Magnuson and Cathryn Avallone also scored as Yale took a 8-2 lead with 10 minutes left in the half.
The Bobcats responded with two quick goals from Bobcats' leading goal-scorer Ochwat and DeVito. Ochwat's goal with 6:17 to play in the first half was her third of the year while Devito's first goal of the year made it 8-4. Last season, DeVito was one of six Quinnipiac players to reach double-digits in goals with 11 for the year. Yale's Hope Hanley pushed the Bulldogs' lead back to five goals, 9-4, with just under four minutes to play.
Quinnipiac senior captain Kuhn scored 25 seconds into the second half to put the Bobcats on the board early in the final frame. With the Bobcats moving to within four goals, 9-5, Yale responded with nine unanswered goals to take an 18-5 lead with 16 minutes to play in the game.
Quinnipiac and Yale remained scoreless for most of the remaining time before Ochwat scored her second of the game and fourth of the year with 1:50 to play in regulation.
