GAME SUMMARY

Quinnipiac jumped out to a quick start when Desiree Kleberg scored just 62 seconds into the game.
After Iona tied the game, the Bobcats put together three straight goals, two by Ellagrace Delmond, to claim a 4-1 lead with 3:47 left in the opening quarter.
Iona scored once to trim the margin, but Sophie Spencer scored with eight seconds to play and rebuilt the three-goal edge. The goal was a result of a caused turnover by Kleberg who then immediately returned the ball to play and found Spencer in front for the tally.
Only three goals were scored in the second quarter as Sydney Skalstad and Emily Feeney recorded tallies that bookended a strike by Iona's Alexa Maggiacomo.
The third quarter also contained only three goals, though the hosts were the team to score twice, tightened the Bobcats lead to 8-5 heading the game's final 15 minutes.
Sophia Iaccino opened the fourth quarter with her second of the game, only to be answered by Maggiacomo less than a minute later.
Goals by Feeney and Kalie Moore just 43 seconds apart extended the Quinnipiac lead to 11-6 with 10 minutes to play and a lone Iona goal finished the game's scoring with 9:43 in regulation.

NOTES

Henselder's 15 saves are the third-most that the junior has recorded in a game this season. She currently ranks inside the top 30 nationally in saves, saves per game, save percentage, and ground balls per game.
Kleberg took over the team lead with 28 goals and 36 points on the year, both career highs.
Keara Patterson's assist made her the ninth Bobcat to tally at least 10 points this season.
The Bobcats have scored 173 goals this season, the most for any Quinnipiac team since 2013.
