NOTES

The last time the Bobcats scored four goals in a game came in the 2017 regular-season finale vs. Saint Peter's (Nov. 1).
Goalkeeper Jared Mazzola (Katonah, NY) made five total stops in net, earning his third win so far this year. Mazzola made a diving save to his right on a Canisius penalty kick with just over 30 minutes remaining, keeping the Bobcats' lead at one goal at the time.
Quinnipiac recorded a team-high 19 shots in the victory, and attempted six corners. The Bobcats attempted more than 19 total shots just twice in 2017.
