Reilly Completes Comeback as No. 8 Bobcats Knock Off UConn in Exhibition
9/23/2023 6:19:00 PM | Women's Ice Hockey
HAMDEN, Conn. — Graduate student Kate Reilly scored 2:17 into overtime to complete a three-goal run for the Quinnipiac women's ice hockey team, as the Bobcats erased a 3-1 third-period deficit en route to a 4-3 victory over UConn in a Saturday exhibition contest at M&T Bank Arena.
The Bobcats trailed 3-1 with just under 12:00 to go, but Madison Chantler's goal at the 8:13 mark cut the deficit in half.
After a body-checking penalty on UConn late in the frame, Maddy Samoskevich fired a wrister from the point into the top corner, knotting the contest and sending it to the extra frame.
Chantler also started the scoring in the second, deflecting a Zoe Uens point shot to the ice as it skipped past the UConn netminder.
The goalies split each 20-minute period in the contest, with Logan Angers taking back over in overtime to earn the victory. Lucy Phillips made 11 saves in her first collegiate action, while Tatum Blacker and Angers each compiled nine stops.
STATS AND NOTES
The regular season begins on Friday night, as the Bobcats welcome Hockey East foe Maine for a pair at M&T Bank Arena. Puck drop is slated for 6 p.m. on Friday and 3 p.m. on Saturday.
