Bobcats Defeat Yale 1-0 to Set Up Rematch with UConn

HARTFORD — The No. 7/8 Quinnipiac men's ice hockey program will look to defend its CT Ice title on Saturday night after advancing via a 1-0 semifinal win over Yale on Friday night at the XL Center.

Mason Marcellus scored the game's lone goal, slotting home a pass from Travis Treloar from point blank to give the Bobcats all they would need in the semifinal victory.
