Bobcats have scored 22 goals over the last three games
HAMDEN, Conn. — For the second consecutive night, the No. 2/3 Quinnipiac men's ice hockey program potted eight goals en route to a 10th consecutive ECAC Hockey victory as it closed out the 2022 portion of its league schedule with an 8-1 victory over Union on Saturday night at M&T Bank Arena.
Jacob Quillan, Collin Graf and TJ Friedmann each recorded two-goal nights, but the former had the highlight of the night as CJ McGee sauced a cross-ice pass that was deflected in by Quillan as he crashed into the net.
Quinnipiac scored the first seven of the night, continuing its scorching run of form that has seen its offense score 22 goals over the last three games. Both Graf and Sam Lipkin recorded five-point nights, with Graf totaling two goals and three assists against his former team, while Lipkin tallied a goal and four assists.
STATS AND NOTES
The Bobcats break for the holidays this week and will next take the ice on Dec. 30, taking on Holy Cross at 7 p.m. in Worcester, Mass.
