HAMDEN, CT – Quinnipiac field hockey hits the road for a NEC matchup against LIU on Friday before returning to Hamden to host Dartmouth for Senior Day on Sunday afternoon.

Friday's contest marks the first-ever meeting between the Bobcats and the Sharks.

CONFERENCE CATS

Quinnipiac enters the weekend with a 5-4 overall record and 2-1 NEC play.
The Bobcats lead the NEC in overall save percentage (.789) and goals-against average (1.78), while ranking second in scoring average (1.889) behind Wagner.
Rozemarijn van Keulen and Ava Bleier are tied for third in the conference with four goals each, while Martina Calveira ranks second with four assists.
Van Keulen ranks second in the NEC with 11 points.
Goalkeeper Meike van Schoot has allowed a season-low 16 goals through nine games.

ROZE TO THE OCCASION

Rozemarijn van Keulen has recorded 11 points over her last seven games, including a six-game point streak from Sept. 4-27.
The forward recorded her first multi-goal game of the season against Columbia, marking the fourth of her career.
Van Keulen leads the NEC in points per game (1.57), ranks second in goals per game (.571) and third in total goals (4).
The sophomore returns to the Bobcats after recording eight goals and four assists, totaling 20 points in 16 games in her freshman campaign.

MEIKE-ING AN IMPACT

First-year goalkeeper Meike van Schoot has posted a 5-4 record in her debut collegiate season.
Van Schoot ranks 12th nationally in save percentage (.789) and 15th in saves per game (6.67).
Van Schoot won her second NEC Defensive Player of the Week honor on Sept 22. She recorded 16 saves on the weekend while allowing just two goals.
The goalkeeper earned NEC Defensive Player and Rookie of the Week on Sept. 9 after an impressive weekend in goal, recording 23 saves on 29 shots faced against Bucknell and Brown.
Van Schoot posted a career-high 18 saves against Brown, including six on penalty corners and a crucial penalty stroke save just three minutes into the game.
In just her fourth collegiate appearance, van Schoot's 18 save performance marked the most saves by a Quinnipiac goalkeeper in a single game since Sept. 4, 2011.

RETURN TO THE NEC

The Bobcats rejoin the Northeast Conference after previously competing as a full-time member from 1998-2013. During that span, QU won the inaugural NEC Field Hockey Tournament in 1999, including two more NEC tournament titles, and four regular-season championships.
QU was selected to finish second, behind Wagner, in the coaches' preseason poll with five first-place votes.

LEADERSHIP GROUP

Katie Shanahan returns for her second straight year as captain of the Bobcat squad, with the addition of senior Audrey Everett and junior Jule Hoefer to the leadership group.

NEW CATS ON THE BLOCK

Head Coach Nina Klein and her staff brought in eight newcomers ahead of this season.
Among the group, there are four joining QU from across the Atlantic, with Senne Fassbender, Julia Lutz, and Meike van Schoot from the Netherlands and Evelyn Henderson from England.
Kaia Jackson, Mia Khazin, Maddie Lathrop, and Lily Mastrella are each from the Northeast.
QU's roster is made up of 14 underclassmen among the 24 players.

HEAD COACH NINA KLEIN

Nina Klein enters her fourth season as the head field hockey coach and second coach in program history, replacing longtime head coach Becca Main.
A season ago, Klein helped lead the Bobcats to their first 10-win season since 2013.
Sophomore Francisca Eschoyez was named BIG-EAST co-offensive player of the year, ALL-BIG EAST First Team, and NFHCA Third-Team All-American. In 2024, Eschoyez earned Second Team All-BIG EAST honors.
In Klein's first season at the helm of the Bobcats, she helped the Bobcats to one of their best finishes in BIG EAST play.
Klein also helped guide Stella Tegtmeier to the first major BIG EAST award in program history, with Tegtmeier taking home BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year in 2023.
A selector for USA Field Hockey U16 goalkeepers, Klein returns to Quinnipiac after serving as the assistant field hockey coach at Boston College for the 2022 season.
Prior to her time at Boston College, Klein joined the Bobcats under Becca Main and was elevated to associate head coach prior to the 2019 season.
A UConn graduate, Klein served the Huskies as a volunteer assistant for the 2018 season.
