Bobcats are Back
Quinnipiac will play in its first MAAC series since May 4, 2019. The Bobcats competed in 2020, recording a 2-9 record, but the team did not compete in a conference game due to the cancelation of the season and COVID-19 pandemic.
Newcomers Ready to Get Going
The Bobcats welcomed seven first-year to the team including two pitchers, three outfielders, one infielder and one catcher. Three first-year Bobcats hail from the West Coast, one comes from Florida and three come from the Northeast.
The Returners
Quinnipiac returns 14 letter-winners from the abbrieviated 2020 season. Seniors Brighid Douglas and Kayla Jensen look to lead the underclassmen through the 2021 campaign, alongside graduate transfer Tiffany Kennedy-Cummings. Jensen led the team in both the 2020 and 2019 seasons with a .333 and .339 batting average. Juniors Bridget Nasir and Hannah Davis will also serve as veterans of the Bobcats' program and will look to lead the team through the season.
A Look at the MAAC
The Bobcats were voted to finish ninth in the 2021 MAAC Preseason Coaches' Poll. Monmouth came out on top with eight first place votes as the preseason favorite, followed by Marist in second. The Broncs were voted to finish 10th.
Scouting Rider
