Dylan Silverstein got the start in net for the Bobcats, stopping 16 of 17 shots on his frame.

STATS AND NOTES

The nine goals are the most Quinnipiac has ever totaled against Harvard, besting the seven the Bobcats put past the Crimson in the 2008 ECAC Tournament.
Verreault finished the night one point off the Bobcats' first-year Division I record held by Sam Lipkin. He is the second Quinnipiac first-year (Ethan Wyttenbach) to hit that mark in a game this season.
Both Borgula and Verreault tied the most assists by a Bobcat in a game this season, joining Will Gilson and Aaron Schwartz with three helpers in a night.
Borgula's three assists and three points are both new collegiate-bests.
Quinnipiac recorded season-bests in points (25), goals (nine) and assists (16).
The nine goals are tied for the third-most in a game in the Division I era, with the Bobcats last reaching that mark against Princeton on Jan. 12, 2024.
Czerneckianair's multi-goal night was the second of his career, with the other coming in the 2024 NCAA Tournament when he potted the game-tying and game-winning goals against Wisconsin.
Matthew Lansing added his second, multi-point game of his collegiate career. He did so also with his second, multi-assist outing.
