SCORING SUMMARY

38:43 (QU 1, MAN 1): With pressure slowly mounting for Quinnipiac as the first half went along, the Bobcats capitalized on a scoring chance late in the stanza. Kylie Lance (Stow, Massachusetts) sent Carly Glaser (New City, New York) up the left side as Glaser took one touch and centered in the box. Ally Grunstein (Warren, New Jersey) came from her right wing unmarked and spotted a shot into the lower left corner of the net.
52:12 (QU 1, MAN 1): Just over seven minutes into the second half, Manhattan's Erica Modena dribbled up the right side, forcing the Quinnipiac defense to step into action in denying her a go for goal. Modena spotted Emma Saul on the left side and sent a perfect pass her way. Saul received the pass and fakes two shots before burying the equalizer into the low right corner of the cage

NOTES

Grunstein found the back of the net for the fourth time this season and the third since the start of MAAC play
Grunstein also hit the double digit point plateau as she now has 11 (four goals, three assists) on the season

Glaser posted her second assist in as many games as the senior all of the sudden has four points (one goal, two assists) over the last two contests
Prior to Saturday's win over Niagara, Glaser had a career total of four points in her first 43 games played as she has since doubled her career point tally in the last two games alone
Lance added an assist to the scoresheet which was good enough for her first of the season
Quinnipiac's 46 assists as a team ranks Top 10 in the nation while 13 different Bobcats have dished out at least one assist in 2017
