Quinnipiac's offense was powered by five different goalscorers, while defensemen Iivari Rasanen and Jayden Lee both posted a +3 from the blue line.

STATS AND NOTES

Saturday night was de Jong's third-career, multi-goal game and his first of 2022-23. His last multi-tally night was a hat trick against St. Lawrence on Nov. 20, 2021.
It is also his second multi-point night of the year. He recorded a goal and an assist on opening night against Boston College.
Graf recorded his second, multi-assist night and first in a Quinnipiac uniform. He dished a pair of helpers against Colgate on Feb. 11, 2022 as a member of Union.
Lipkin's multi-assist night is the first such night of his career, as well as his first, multi-point performance.
The 11 goals are tied for the most in a regular season weekend since the 2009-10 campaign, when they combined for 12 across two games with Brown and Yale at home.
It is also tied for the most goals in a regular season road weekend since the turn of the millennium, when they scored 14 at Fairfield on Feb. 18 and 19, 2000.

UP NEXT
The Bobcats hit the road again for a non-conference weekend, taking on Maine on Oct. 22 and 23 at Alfond Sports Arena. Faceoffs are scheduled for 7:05 p.m., and 4:05 p.m., respectively.
