LAST TIME OUT (4/22/23)

- Entering the fourth up 5-2, Quinnipiac survived a late surge from the Mountaineers that saw them climb to 5-4 and have the ball, but Kat Henselder made one of her 12 saves at the most crucial time, denying the hosts with 11 seconds on the clock.
- Desiree Kleberg and Emily Feeney had multi-point days, recording a goal and assist each. Julia Steneck scooped up a career-high six ground balls.
- The Bobcats roared back from a three-goal, fourth-quarter deficit on Senior Day Saturday, knocking off Canisius 9-8 in overtime at the QU Lacrosse Stadium.
