SCORING SUMMARY

(4:08, 1^st period, EV) Quinnipiac 1, Union 0—Maya Labad scored four minutes into the first to give the Bobcats an early lead. Labad picked up a shot that went wide from Sophie Urban to cycle through the offensive zone where she split the defense and went over the left side of Union goaltender Sophie Matsoukas.
(13:05, 1^st period, EV) Quinnipiac 2, Union 0—QU's second goal of the night came from junior Kendall Cooper as she buried a pass top shelf from Maddy Samoskevich over the left side of Matsoukas in the slot.
(16:12, 1^st period, EV) Quinnipiac 3, Union 0—Labad's second of the night started with a turnover by the Dutchwomen in the neutral zone that senior defender Kate Reilly passed up to Sadie Peart who redirected it to Labad. Labad carried the puck through three Dutchwomen into Union territory to force a breakaway where she went five hole on Matsoukas.
(1:54, 2^nd period, EV) Quinnipiac 4, Union 0—Junior Sophie Urban scored her first of the year, unassisted, after Matsoukas let up a juicy rebound that found Urban right in front of the crease which she buried in the back of the net with ease.
(18:11, 2^nd period, EV) Quinnipiac 5, Union 0—The Mobley-Maloney-Chantler line all recorded a point on the fifth Bobcat goal of the night. Shay Maloney corralled an Olivia Mobley rebound that hit the post and found Maloney in the face off dot. Maloney put a backhander on the left pad of Matsoukas before burying her own rebound and securing the Bobcats 15^th win.
