All-Time Series vs Canisius: Quinnipiac leads, 4-2-1
Last Meeting: QU 3, CAN 0 (2016 MAAC Quarterfinals @ Quinnipiac)
GAME LINKS SETTING THE STAGE
The Quinnipiac women's soccer team heads into the final game of the regular season at Canisius on Saturday (1 PM) with plenty of MAAC Tournament seeding scenarios abound as the Bobcats potentially could finish anywhere from seed 3-6 depending on the full day of results. A win would greatly improve the Bobcats' chances as Quinnipiac heads into its Saturday contest with Canisius having won the last three games in the series with the Golden Griffins by identical 3-0 scores. The most-recent game between the two sides was a memorable one for Quinnipiac as the Bobcats won 3-0 in the MAAC Quarterfinals, in what was the final game played at the QU Soccer Field.
LAST GAME RECAP (QU 1, MAN 1)
Needing a result to better their chances at a first round bye in the upcoming MAAC Tournament, Quinnipiac earned one point with a 1-1 draw against Manhattan on Wednesday afternoon in the final game played the Quinnipiac Soccer Stadium for the season. Ally Grunstein netted the lone Bobcat goal as Quinnipiac finished up their first season of play at the newly constructed Quinnipiac Soccer Stadium with a 4-2-2 mark in eight home matches on the year.
AL'S HONOR
Junior forward Al Pelletier's three-goal week earned her MAAC Offensive Player of the Week honors, as announced by the league office on Monday. Pelletier's three goals in two games last week led all MAAC players while earned her the first MAAC weekly award of her three-year career. Pelletier becomes the second Bobcat to earn Offensive Player of the Week honors as she joins Nadya Gill who earned the same award back on Aug. 21 in the first week of the 2017 season. Quinnipiac joins Niagara (three) and Monmouth (two) as the only three teams in the league to earn the honor more than once this season.
NOTES
- In the 1-1 draw with Manhattan on Wednesday, Quinnipiac improved to 6-0-3 in 2017 in games in which the Bobcats score first
- Quinnipiac has struggled in games in which the opposition scores first as their most-recent loss at Iona last Wednesday moved their record to 1-6 in games wherein the opposition scores first
- Quinnipiac's scoring depth has played a key role in the team's success as the Bobcats currently have five players all with at least 11 points on the season, no other team in the MAAC has more than two players with double digit point totals
- In addition, the Bobcats have five players with at least four goals on the season, no other team in the MAAC has more than two players with at least three goals in 2017
- Despite being shown a red card in the 12th minute (the first for the Bobcats since 2014), the ensuing missed penalty kick proved to be a landmark moment in the match as Quinnipiac went on to dominate the score 3-0 and shot total (15-9) following the red card in the team's 4-0 triumph over Niagara on Saturday
- The four-goal total is the most Quinnipiac has ever scored in a game where the Bobcats were issued a red card
- Carly Glaser added another game-winning goal to her resume as the senior's first career tally was also the game-winner last season in a 3-0 home win over Marist
- Glaser added an assist, nearly doubling her career point total heading into Saturday's match as she came into play with four career points (one goal, two assists) in 43 games played
- 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 total in the last two games alone
- Al Pelletier knocked in two goals against Niagara for her first career multi-goal game, giving her single-season career highs across the board in points (17), goals (six) and assists (five)
- Pelletier was later recognized by the MAAC on Monday, earning MAAC Offensive Player of the Week honors (first such weekly award of her career) after leading the conference with three goals scored last week
- Nadya Gill racked up three points (one goal, two assists) in the win over Niagara as she continues to lead the MAAC in points (30), goals (11) and assists (eight) through 15 games this season
- The next-closest player point total in the league is Rider's Michelle Iacono with 21 (10 points behind Gill)
- Gill is currently one of 36 players in the nation with double digit goal totals this season as she is tied for the 13th-most in the country with 11 tallies in 2017
- Gill enters Saturday's match leading her team and the MAAC in a vast majority of offensive stats as she currently sits 11th in the nation in points per game (1.88), tied for 27th in goals per game (0.69) and tied for 18th in assists per game (0.50)
- As far as her career totals, Gill sits tied for seventh all-time at Quinnipiac in career goals (28), tied for 10th in career assists (14) and ninth in career points (70)
- Olivia Myszewski was solid once again in net, making six saves in the Manhattan draw as she has totaled at least five saves in six-of-nine MAAC contests
- Myszewski now sports a 0.82 goals-against average in MAAC play while sporting a .862 save percentage with 50 saves and three clean sheets thus far through nine league games
- Kelsey Goldring is a two-time MAAC Rookie of the Week who leads all MAAC freshmen in points (17), and assists (seven) this season while ranking second in goals (five)
- Madison Borowiec picked up her sixth assist of the season in the 4-0 win over Niagara, giving her 14 points (four goals, six assists) in a breakout junior campaign
- Quinnipiac currently has four players with at least five assists on the season, all of which rank in the Top 10 in the MAAC in assists per game
- As a team, Quinnipiac's offense has been buzzing all season, currently tied for 29th in the nation in scoring offense (2.19), sixth in assists per game (2.98) and 13th in points per game (7.25)
- In terms of total assists (46), Quinnipiac is third in the nation as 13 different players have dished out at least one assist this year while both Gill (eight) and Goldring (seven) sit first and second in the league in assists this season
- Miraculously, Quinnipiac's offense has led the MAAC (currently tied for 29th in the nation) all season despite averaging a mere 11.31 shots per game (231st in the nation, 8th in the MAAC)
