Maddie Deegan, Sophia Iaccino and Gabby Beckett all recorded five points in the two games. Deegan and Iaccino both scored four goals and dished out an assist while Beckett scored one goal and dished out four assists. Her four assists came in Monday's game, which was a new single game career high. Iaccino tallied 11 draw controls, six ground balls and and caused four turnovers for the Bobcats.
SCOUTING CANISIUS
The Griffs opened up their season with two games at Siena. In their first game vs. the Saints, Canisius fell 6-5 in a defensive battle. In the second game of the back-to-back, the Griffs allowed 17 Siena goals and only scored eight to close out their opening weekend, 0-2.
ALL-TIME VS. CANISIUS
The Bobcats are 3-5 against the Griffs in program history. The last matchup between the two teams was in 2019 and Quinnipiac took home the victory, 14-13.
THE BOBCATS IN 2020
In a pandemic-shortened 2020 season, Quinnipiac posted a record of 3-4. The Bobcats tallied wins against LIU, Bryant and Old Dominion. The win against ODU was the program's first win against a BIG EAST foe.
