LAST GAME (Monmouth 8, Quinnipiac 7 - 2OT)
Monmouth scored on an end-to-end fast break after a save on the doorstep for the game-winning goal from Bryce Wasserman as the Hawks knocked off Quinnipiac 8-7 in double overtime in the conference opener for both teams on Saturday night at Yale's Reese Stadium. Junior attack Brian Feldman had four goals in the loss to extend his goal-scoring streak to 16 games for Quinnipiac. Sophomore midfielder Foster Cuomo tied the score with 3:04 left in regulation, his second goal of the contest as he improved his goal-scoring streak to 13 games. Cuomo made a bid for the hat trick in the second overtime, as he slipped in between two Hawks defenders and got a clean look on net. He went low, and goalie Nick Hreshko was able to go down to block the shot. The ensuing ground ball rolled away from goal, where it was scooped up by Chandler Vanderbeek, who leaked out and raced end-to-end. After drawing the Quinnipiac defense, he passed to his left to Wasserman, who was able to pick out the upper corner with 1:30 left in the second overtime to win the game. Senior goalie Jack Brust, who missed the last three games with an injury, returned to the lineup and had 10 saves, including a huge one just before the final buzzer of the first overtime, denying Monmouth's Griffin Figel from in close.
LAST YEAR vs. DETROIT(Quinnipiac 14-4)
Brian Feldman set a career high with eight points on five goals and three assists to lead the Quinnipiac men's lacrosse team to a 14-4 road win over Detroit in a snowy contest last year at Titan Field. Senior attack Ryan Keenan (Oshawa, Ontario) and junior attack Drew D'Antonio added two goals apiece for the Bobcats, while eight players scored in all. Goalkeeper Jack Brust had a solid day in goal to get the win with 10 saves before leaving the contest with two minutes to play and the game in hand.
CARCHIETTA NAMED MAAC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF WEEK
Junior midfielder Anthony Carchietta was named the MAAC Offensive Player of the Week on March 13, earning his first career honor from the league. Carchietta had three goals and four assists in two games, tallying one goal and two assists at No. 19 Princeton and then adding two goals and two assists against Hartford. He had a big role in a near-comeback for the Bobcats, capping off a 4-0 run with the tying goal and go-ahead assist to put Quinnipiac ahead 9-8 with just over four minutes left, before the Hawks scored the final three goals for the win.
FELDMAN'S GOAL STREAK REACHES 16...
Entering the weekend, Brian Feldman has a streak of 16 straight games with at least one goal, dating back to being held scoreless by Marquette last spring, which puts him in fifth on the active list nationally. Only eight players in the country currently have a goal scoring streak of 10 or more, led by Dylan Molloy of Brown with 32 in a row. Feldman had hat tricks in the first four games this season, including six goals against Bellarmine, and is now in sixth place on Quinnipiac's career goals list with 86 in only his junior season.
...AND CUOMO'S REACHES 13
One of the other seven players in the country with a double-digit goal streak is sophomore midfielder Foster Cuomo. Since being held without a goal (but contributing three assists) in a lopsided win at Detroit last year, Cuomo found the net in each of the last seven games (four of which were in the postseason), of 2016, and has scored in each of the first six contests this year.

Feldman had 29 goals as a freshman and 36 last season, putting him in eighth on the single-season list, and his quick start to this season (21 goals in six games) has him up into sixth on the career list in only his junior season with 86. He also has 12 career assists, giving him 98 points, two shy of becoming only the 13th player in school history to reach 100 career points.

CORCORAN JOINS HAT TRICK CLUB
Junior midfielder Ryan Corcoran scored three goals against NJIT on March 4, registering his first career hat trick, He is now one of five players on the Bobcats who have scored three goals in a game, led by 15 from Brian Feldman. Matt Frost had three goals in his second collegiate game at NJIT last year, while Foster Cuomo and Drew D'Antonio both achieved the feat for the first time in the MAAC Tournament last year, with Cuomo tallying four goals in the semifinals against Canisius and D'Antonio scoring four times in the championship against Marist.
NOT A REPLAY
Sophomore Foster Cuomo pretty much duplicated his own memorable goal from last year's MAAC Championship game in a March 7 game at Princeton. Last year's blind over-the-shoulder shot earned him a spot on SportsCenter's Top 10 as the Bobcats defeated Marist 13-9 to earn their first MAAC Championship. From almost the same place on the field, Cuomo pulled off the same shot against Princeton in the final minute of the fourth quarter, which earned him a spot (No. 5) on NCAA.com's Top 10 Plays of the Week. .
TRI-CAPTAINS IN 2017
Quinnipiac will have tri-captains for the 2017 season. Senior Jack Brust and Kevin Diehl have been captains since the fall season, while fellow senior Drew D'Antonio added captain duties for the spring. They are expected to be the only three seniors that the Bobcats lose after this season (attack Zach Malsky is also a senior, but has a redshirt year available if he chooses to use it).
CUOMO SHARES MAAC PRESEASON PLAYER OF YEAR
Sophomore midfielder Foster Cuomo was named the 2017 MAAC Preseason Co-Player of the Year in a vote of the league's coaches. Cuomo was a second-team All-MAAC midfielder last year, but closed the season playing his best lacrosse under pressure, scoring 11 of his 22 goals in the postseeaon after the all-conference teams were picked. The Bobcats were a unanimous pick to repeat as league champions.
WHERE THERE'S A WILL...
Junior face-off specialist Will Vitelli had a dominant performance at the X on March 4 against NJIT, winning 19 of 22. His dominance is nothing new for the Bobcats, as his performances last year were a strong barometer for Quinnipiac's success or failure. In six of Quinnipiac's wins, Vitelli was dominant on face-offs, including a 19-for-19 effort against Marist which earned him the National Player of the Week honor. He won 75.3 percent of his face-offs in conference games (64-of-85) and also was 15-of-22 against Bellarmine and 13-of-20 against NJIT to help the Bobcats to non-conference wins. In the two meetings with defending MAAC champion Marist, Vitelli was a remarkable 39-of-44 (.887), including 20-of-25 in the MAAC title game. Even more remarkable, Vitelli walked on to the team as a freshman and had never taken face-offs in his life before entering college.
