HAMDEN, CT — The Quinnipiac men's ice hockey program earned a big ranked win on Saturday afternoon, knocking off Providence by a 5-1 scoreline at M&T Bank Arena, closing the first month of the schedule in a big way.
Andon Cerbone was the star of the show, posting the second hat trick of his collegiate career with his first three goals of the 2026-27 campaign. He scored inside the first 2:31 of each period.
Antonin Verreault and Jack Stockfish also scored 62 seconds apart in the second period as part of a three-tally middle frame that allowed the home team to take control.
Andrew Strathmann assisted on the first and second Bobcat goals of the night as well, while Christian Kirsch backstopped the Quinnipiac defense with a strong, 30-save performance.
STATS AND NOTES
UP NEXT
The Bobcats open ECAC Hockey play on Friday night, taking on Cornell at Lynah Rink.
The game is slated for 7 PM on ESPN+.

- Quinnipiac improved to 9-3-2 against Hockey East opposition in the last two seasons.
