Whelan blasted a pass from Rashawn Dally into the back of the net to give the Bobcats' the win in the 96th minute. With the victory, Quinnipiac moves to 5-5 overall in 2016 (1-1-0 MAAC). Marist falls to 5-3-1 (0-1-0 MAAC).
"We knew the challenges coming into the match against a very good team," Quinnipiac head coach Eric Da Costa said. "Going down two goals forced us to face an extremely steep climb but the team believed in each other and was committed to keep fighting together."
Conor McCoy and Ryan Scheiderman scored in the second half of play, helping Quinnipiac force overtime.
"We just wanted to focus on what we could control and that was our attitude, our commitment and our belief," Da Costa said. "We were playing well and our approach was to get a goal early and then move forward from there."
Both of the Red Foxes' goals came in the first half of play. Marist scored in the 27th minute, as Michael Lorello knocked home a bobble off a Samad Bounthong corner kick to make it 1-0 Red Foxes. Cameron Harr gave Marist a two-goal cushion 13 minutes later, scoring in the 40th minute on a penalty shot.After trailing 2-0 heading into halftime, the Bobcats scored three unanswered goals in the second half.
Quinnipiac's first goal came in the 55th minute, as McCoy tipped in a James Doig corner kick for his second goal of the season to make it 2-1. Doig placed the ball in front of Marist's net from the far corner, and McCoy deflected it with his right foot to cut the lead to one goal.
Scheiderman scored Quinnipiac second goal in the 85th minute, knotting things up 2-2. The goal was Scheiderman's second of the season, as he converted on a penalty to give the Bobcats a chance in overtime - and Whelan did the rest.
Quinnipiac is back in action on Wednesday, Oct. 5, hosting Manhattan in another conference game from the QU Soccer Field in Hamden at 4 p.m.
