GAME NOTES

Junior midfielder Matt Frost had three goals and three assists for a new career high with six points.
Senior midfielder Brian Feldman had four goals for his first hat trick of the season and 18th of his career, increasing his career goal total to 106.
Feldman's bid for a fifth goal led the game-winner as his shot was saved by Anthony Tebbano (19 saves), but Frost caught the rebound out of the air behind the goal, and backhanded a low shot under Tebbano and into the net with 4:27 left for the eventual game-winner.
Feldman's goal 2:15 into the third quarter gave Quinnipiac a 9-4 lead, but Siena responded with six goals in a row to take a 10-9 lead after three quarters, with Chris Robertson scoring three of them.
Feldman ended a long drought for the Bobcats with his fourth goal at the 10:37 mark of the fourth quarter to tie the score, and freshman Jake Tomsik scored an unassisted goal with 7:27 to go to give the Bobcats the lead back at 11-10.
Siena tied the game up 11-11 on a Brian Prunty goal with 5:45 remaining, before Frost had the game-winner just over a minute later.
Siena had one final chance after a clear, calling a timeout with 16 seconds left, but sophomore goalie Joe Zukauskas had the save and senior long-stick midfielder Adam Bellamy got to the ground ball and flung it downfield to kill off the final few seconds.
Quinnipiac scored four times on extra-man opportunities in the first half, with Frost getting two of them and assisting on a third to Feldman. Senior midfielder Ryan Corcoran added the other.
