NOTES

Barlow's hat trick is the first for a Quinnipiac player since Danielle Allan scored three times in a 5-1 win against Holy Cross on Sept. 26, 2013.
It was also the first hat trick for a Quinnipiac player on the road since Jess Rusin did it at Colgate in a 6-0 win on Sept. 9, 2011
Barlow's three-goal performance was the second time the co-captain struck for multiple goals in one game this season and the third time of her career.
Her first multi-goal game of the season came when she scored twice in a 4-2 victory against Yale on September 8 in which was Quinnipiac's first win at the brand-new Quinnipiac Field Hockey Stadium.
She also scored twice against Fairfield in a 5-4 overtime win on Nov. 1, 2015.

The three goals from Barlow gives the co-captain seven goals on the season and pushes her points total to 18.
Barlow's 18 points now gives the senior the team-lead in points.
Barlow also now sits first in goals on the team as she has found the back of the cage seven times this season.
Felicia Costanzo (Yorktown Heights, New York) picked up her second assist of the season on Barlow's goal that tied the game at 1 seven minutes into the second half.
Elisa Ruiz Martinez (Madrid, Spain) picked up her third assist of the season on Barlow's second goal, which gave the Bobcats the 2-1 lead with a little less than 23 minutes to play.
Kiera Godusky (Allentown, Pennsylvania) scored her first-career point on the assist to Barlow with just a 1:15 remaining in overtime.
Quinnipiac's last non-conference overtime win came on October 19, 2014 at Bryant when the Bobcats won, 3-2, in shootout.
