1/10/2026 11:08:00 PM | Men's Ice Hockey
HAMDEN, Conn. — Markus Vidicek scored with 17 seconds left in overtime and the No. 8 Quinnipiac men's ice hockey program escaped with a 4-3 home victory over RPI on Saturday night as part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration.
The first-year forward grabbed his own rebound and roofed it to give the Bobcats their fourth consecutive win on home ice to begin the 2026 calendar year.
After RPI took a 1-0 lead into the second, Andon Cerbone and Matthew Lansing scored 26 seconds apart to give the Bobcats a 2-1 lead.
RPI tied the game 60 seconds in to the third and Chris Pelosi gave the Bobcats the lead with 1:50 to go, before RPI tied it with 15 seconds to go.
STATS AND NOTES
Quinnipiac hits the road for the first time in 2026, taking on Colgate and Cornell next weekend. The Bobcats will take on the Raiders in Hamilton on Friday night before a tilt with the Big Red on Saturday.
