10/28/2023 9:58:00 PM | Men's Ice Hockey
HAMDEN, Conn. — The Quinnipiac University men's ice hockey team bounced back on Saturday night, knocking off the visiting Maine Black Bears 4-1 at M&T Bank Arena.
Maine opened the scoring at the 12:47 mark of the period, but the Bobcats answered 70 seconds later off the stick of CJ McGee, who sniped home a point shot off a faceoff win from Matt McGroarty.
The Bobcats added a pair in the second to seal the victory, with Travis Treloar scoring on a breakaway before Mason Marcellus added a wraparound goal with 1:07 left in the second to double the advantage before Sam Lipkin's empty-netter late iced it.
Vinny Duplessis made the start for the home team, stopping 25 of Maine's 26 shots on the evening.
