After a seesawing pair of games to start the 2017 season, the Quinnipiac women's soccer team will make history on Sunday (1:00 PM) as the Bobcats host Army West Point in the first game played on the newly renovated Quinnipiac Soccer Turf Complex.

NOTES
- This marks just the second time these two teams have played as the Black Knights claimed a 1-0 victory in West Point back in 2010
- The weekend contest marks the first time Quinnipiac has played a home game on a surface that wasn't the former QU Soccer Field
- The Bobcats finished last season on a high note, achieving a mark of 9-0 at home which went down as just the third undefeated season at home in program history
- Quinnipiac's season-opening 4-3 overtime win at Holy Cross featured a five-point outburst from Nadya Gill (two goals, one assist) that won her MAAC Offensive Player of the Week honors
- The four goals scored by the Bobcats is the most the team has ever-scored in a season opener while the last time Quinnipiac scored more than four goals in a game came back on October 31, 2010 in a 6-0 win over Fairleigh Dickinson
- Gill claimed her second career MAAC Offensive Player of the Week award (first since 2015) after leading the way offensively at Holy Cross
- Now with 19 career goals in 39 games played, incredibly the two-goal effort against the Crusaders marked just the second time in Gill's career where she recorded a multi-goal game
- Al Pelletier posted two assists in the Holy Cross win, marking the second time in her career in which she has dished out a multi-assist game
- Kelsey Goldring scored what was the go-ahead goal in the 81st minute at Holy Cross as she became just the third Bobcat in the last eight seasons to score in their collegiate debut
- Kylie Lance (187) is the only Bobcat to have played every minute through two games this season while Mackenzie Tibball (165) and Gill (159) sit behind Lance in minutes played in 201
