No. 1 Bobcats Celebrate Cleary, Seniors in Win Over Brown
2/18/2023 10:34:00 PM | Men's Ice Hockey
HAMDEN, Conn. — It was a night of celebrations at M&T Bank Arena, as the No. 1 Quinnipiac University men's ice hockey team knocked off Brown 5-2 to culminate its home regular season on the night it would celebrate its third consecutive Cleary Cup Championship, as well as its graduating senior class.
After Zach Metsa's opening goal was canceled out by a Brown equalizer, the Bobcats would rattle off four in a row, including two by first year Sam Lipkin to spark the offense.
Collin Graf added three assists on the night, while Skyler Brind'Amour added a goal and two assists to match Graf's three points.
STATS AND NOTES
The Bobcats round out the regular season next weekend, taking on Union and RPI in the Capital District. Puck drop on both night's is slated for 7 p.m., on ESPN+.
