No. 8/9 Quinnipiac Races Past Notre Dame in Icebreaker Finale
10/11/2025 9:41:00 PM | Men's Ice Hockey
TEMPE, Ariz. — Antonin Verreault scored his first two collegiate goals, while Aaron Schwartz and Mason Marcellus each had three-point nights and the No. 8/9 Quinnipiac men's ice hockey program rolled past Notre Dame 7-2 to close out its appearance at the 2025 Icebreaker Tournament at Arizona State over the weekend.
Verreault started and finished the scoring, opening the day by finishing off a scramble in front to give the Bobcats an early lead they would not relinquish.
Quinnipiac scored the first three before Notre Dame could answer, with Mason Marcellus and Markus Vidicek extending the lead to 3-0.
The Bobcats put an exclamation point on the game overlapping the second and third period, scoring three goals in just under a nine-minute span to grow the advantage to 601.
Verreault then finished the day with a goal at the 19:52 mark off a 2-on-1 with Ethan Wyttenbach, who scored during the overlapping stretch.
Matej Marinov made the start in net for Quinnipiac, making 23 saves.
