GAME SUMMARY

Junior Shaq Edwards opened the game with a runner down the lane but Yale ultimately controlled the first quarter, opening up a 17-12 lead after the game's first frame.
The Bulldogs opened up a 33-22 lead midway through the second quarter before Morris and senior Paige Warfel took control in the final two minutes of the period.
The duo combined for seven points and four rebounds to end the quarter and bring the Bobcats back within four points at 33-29.
Quinnipiac continued its run to start the third quarter, resulting in a 16-4 run and a 38-37 lead.

Edwards pulled the Bobcats within two after a three-pointer and a free throw, but it would be the closest they would get for the remainder of the night.

Despite having three offensive possessions in the last 2:30 of the game, the Bobcats were held scoreless in that stretch, ultimately falling by a 63-59 final.
