Box Score

FAIRFIELD, Conn. — The No. 9/7 Quinnipiac women's ice hockey team scored a season-high eight goals en route to an 8-1 win over Sacred Heart University in the first game of the Nutmeg Classic on Friday afternoon.

The Bobcats got to scoring early, and often, with Tessa Holk and Sophie Urban scoring just under 20 seconds after each other. Kahlen Lamarche added two of her own in the first frame, including a breakaway goal on a great feed from Maddy Samoskevich.
