Last Time Out
The Bobcats hosted the No. 7 Fairfield Stags in the MAAC Quarterfinal game on Friday, April 9. Quinnipiac and Fairfield had met just three days before, and the Bobcats came away with the 1-0 win. On Friday, the two teams battled to a 0-0 ending in regulation and the game extended into overtime. The game remained scoreless until the 107th minute when senior Hannah Reiter cleared a ball up the field to graduate student Kelsey Goldring in the midfield. Goldring flicked the ball with her head first time to first-year Rebecca Cooke darting through the middle. There was a huge gap in the Fairfield back line, and Cooke dribbled up the field with the Stags racing about 15 yards behind. Cooke met the Fairfield keeper, Gina Pike, alone in the box, made a move to the left and placed the ball into the back of the net to earn the 1-0 overtime victory.
The Bobcats avenged the 2019 MAAC Semifinal loss when Fairfield defeated Quinnipiac 1-0.
