TOP STORYLINES HEADING INTO 2017
- Brown comes into the contest with a 1-0 record after defeating Bryant 1-0 in its season opener.
- Brown is led by junior Jack Hagstrom, who was ranked No. 64 overall on TopDrawerSoccer's Preseason Players to Watch Top 100 ranking.
- Hagstrom is a two-time First Team All-Ivy selection and was named the 2015 Ivy League Rookie of the Year after leading the Bears in goals (5) and points (11).
- The last time the Bobcats took on the Bears, Quinnipiac fell in Hamden, 2-0.
- 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.
- Quinnipiac's win over Saint Joseph's was the 31st of Doig's career, which places him second all-time in wins in games played. Doig's 31 wins are only second to former Quinnipiac goalkeeper Borja Angoita, who finished his career with 32 wins in games played.
- Freshmen Simon Hillinger (Ditzingen, Germany) and Paulo Soares (Quincy, Massachusetts) both made their collegiate debuts with the Bobcats in Quinnipiac's loss against B.C. on August 28.
- Chrysostomos Iakovidis (Thessaloniki, Greece) posted a shutout against Saint Joseph's, only needing to make one save on one shot-on-goal.
- 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.
- Whelan had a big impact last year as a freshman, winning the MAAC Rookie of the Year Award. He was also a Third-Team All-Northeast Region selection by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and was named to Top Drawer Soccer's Top 100 Freshmen list.
