NOTES

Quinnipiac continues to struggle in games in which the opposition scores first, dropping to 1-6 in games wherein the Bobcats fall behind 1-0
Quinnipiac's three-game MAAC road unbeaten streak comes to an end as this is the first away loss in conference for the Bobcats this season
The shot total weighed in favor of the Bobcats 15-5 but the totals were level in shots on-goal (5-5)
Pelletier slotted home her fourth goal of 2017, which combined with her five assists give her a new single-season career high 13 points
Reiter dished out the assist on Pelletier's goal, moving her season total up to four (all in the past seven games)
Olivia Myszewski (Elm Grove, Wisconsin) played the full 90 minutes in the net and made three saves on five shots on-target
