HANOVER, N.H. – Quinnipiac men's basketball earned its third non-conference win of the season on Wednesday night, topping Dartmouth on the road, 64-59, at Leede Arena. With the win, the Bobcats improve to 3-4 (0-0 MAAC) so far in 2018-19.

Cameron Young led the way with 21 points for Quinnipiac. Kevin Marfo recorded his first double-double of the season, tallying 12 points and 13 rebounds.

QUOTING HEAD COACH Baker Dunleavy
"If we defend, and we give close to a 40-minute effort on that end of the floor, we don't have to make every shot to win – especially on the road. We made some big shots, but we're not playing as well offensively as we know we can. Our defense carried us… we did a great job holding them in check. I'm proud of our group, and we'll look to build on this win."
