No. 6/7 Quinnipiac Falls in Tight CT Ice Final
1/25/2026 12:05:00 AM | Men's Ice Hockey
HAMDEN, Conn. — The No. 6/7 Quinnipiac men's ice hockey program saw its winning streak come to an end on Saturday night, falling in the CT Ice title game by a 4-2 final to UConn at Ingalls Rink.
The Bobcats turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead in the second period, scoring a pair of goals 57 seconds apart from Markus Vidicek and Chris Pelosi.
Quinnipiac was not able to find another, however, as UConn scored at the 4:36 mark to tie the game and then took the lead for good with 2:25 on the clock before adding an empty netter less than a minute later.
STATS AND NOTES
Quinnipiac will head to the North Country this weekend, taking on Clarkson and St. Lawrence. The Bobcats will take on the Saints Friday before heading to the Golden Knights on Saturday.
