GAME LINKS
The Quinnipiac women's soccer team has benefitted from their longest stretch between games this season, having six off days to prepare for Sunday afternoon's road contest at Ivy League power Dartmouth (1 PM). This showdown pits two of the top teams in the Northeast region against one another as the Big Green come in ranked seventh in the most-recent New England Soccer Journal rankings while the Bobcats enter the match ranked 10th. In what is only the second meeting between the two sides, Quinnipiac hopes to remain over .500 with less than a week remaining before the all-important MAAC slate begins.
LAST GAME RECAP
In a game that saw the Quinnipiac women's soccer team tied with Miami with just over 16 minutes to go, the Bobcats ultimately dropped a tightly-contested 3-1 match with the Hurricanes on a rainy Sunday afternoon at the Quinnipiac Soccer Turf Complex. Sophomore goalkeeper Olivia Myszewski battled all afternoon in net, posting a career high 11 saves to spearhead a defensive effort that had to deal with 32 attempted shots for Miami while Nadya Gill fired in a wonderful strike to tie the score in the 53rd minute.

TOP STORYLINES
- Olivia Myszewski's 11 saves in the 3-1 loss to Miami are not only good enough for a career high but also stand as the most posted by a Quinnipiac keeper in a single-game since Kendra Margulies made 13 stops against Lehigh on Sept. 13, 2009
- Myszewski's 11 stops stand tied for the third-most by a Bobcat keeper in a single-game since the program joined the NCAA Div. I ranks in 1998
- Miami fired 32 shot attempts (14 on-goal) throughout last Sunday's match, signaling the most-ever by a Quinnipiac opponent in the Div. I era (previous high-mark was 26)
- Quinnipiac's offense has been clicking on all cylinders throughout 2017, leading the MAAC in scoring offense at 1.80 goals per game (nine goals in five games)
- The source of that offensive production has come all over the lineup as four Bobcats (Nadya Gill, Al Pelletier, Madison Borowiec and Kelsey Goldring) have at least six points apiece (all have at least two goals and two assists)
- Nadya Gill leads the team in scoring with eight points (three goals, two assists) which has her atop the MAAC's point leaderboard while her three teammates Pelletier, Goldring and Borowiec are all tied for second in the conference in scoring this season
- No team in MAAC history has had more than two players ranked consecutively atop the conference scoring total leaderboard at the end of a season
- Quinnipiac saw their 11-game home win streak come to an end with the 3-1 loss to Miami. That 11-game run combining their undefeated 2016 home mark (9-0) with a perfect 2-0 to start 2017 gave the Bobcats their second-longest home winning streak in program history (record 12 straight home wins between 2000-01 seasons)
- Since allowing six goals in the first two games combined, Quinnipiac's defense has fared much better over the last three contests, allowing four goals in that span (2-1 record)
- The defensive effort shined in the come-from-behind win over Bryant, holding the Bulldogs without an attempted shot for the final 48:10 of play
- Goldring and Borowiec are both enjoying breakthrough seasons as each has six points so far in 2017. Goldring pumped in the Bryant overtime game-winner as she has been a major contributor on offense after redshirting the 2016 campaign. Borowiec dished out two assists in the win over Bryant, good enough for her first career multi-assist game, as she has already matched her entire scoring output from the 2016 season
