TOP STORYLINES HEADING INTO 2017
- Fordham comes into Hamden with a 3-2-1 record this season.
- Fordham won its last contest over Marist, 2-1.
- Quinnipiac won in its only meeting against Fordham. The Bobcats defeated the Rams 1-0 last season in New York.
- The Quinnipiac men's soccer team played to a 1-1 draw on the road Wednesday night against No. 25 UMass Lowell.
- The River Hawks struck for an early first-half goal, but Derek Parker (Cromwell, Connecticut) scored the equalizer in the 61st minute to force overtime and the eventual tie.
- Parker, was nearly trapped in the near-side corner and launched the ball towards the net from 20 yards out. While sailing towards the goal, the ball took a sharp right hook and found the back of the net.
- The goal was the first of the season for Parker and first of the defender's career.
- The Quinnipiac men's soccer team finished its inaugural home game in fitting fashion as they earned their first win on the season over St. Joseph's University, 1-0, in its newly renovated QU Soccer Turf Complex on Saturday, September 2.
- Midfielder Matthew Taylor (Dublin, Ireland) scored the Bobcats' first goal of the season in the fourth minute, on a goal assisted from a through pass sent by midfielder James Doig (Liverpool, England) and forward Rashawn Dally (Bloomfield, CT).
- Taylor's goal was the seventh of his career and second game-winner of his career.
- James Doig (Liverpool, England) still remains one win away from tying former Quinnipiac goalkeeper Borja Angoita as the winningest players in program history, at 32 victories.

- Iakovidis' shutout against Saint Joseph's was the eighth of the sophomore's career.
- Eamon Whelan (New Fairfield, Connecticut) headlines the returning class for Quinnipiac as he was selected to the 2017 Preseason All-MAAC Team following a 2016 campaign that saw him tally a team-high 11 goals.
