Box Score

HANOVER, N.H. — First-year forward Ethan Wyttenbach broke the program's Division I first-year scoring record on Friday night but the No. 7 Quinnipiac men's ice hockey program dropped a 7-4 decision to Dartmouth at the Thompson Arena, putting its potential Cleary Cup celebrations on hold for another night.

The Bobcats still control their own destiny for the regular season title and will clinch it with a regulation win on Saturday at Harvard.

Quinnipiac was able to respond to an early Dartmouth goal, scoring two in the latter stages of the first to take a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes.

The hosts took control in the third, scoring three in the first 8:38 of the frame to flip a 3-2 deficit into a 5-3 lead they would not relinquish.

STATS AND NOTES

Wyttenbach topped Brian Herbert's record of 54 points that he had in the first Division I campaign of 1999-00. He stands at 56 total points, three away from Bryan Leitch and Collin Graf for tops in the Division I program history.
His 24 goals put him tied for fourth on the Division I single-season list and is tied for the most by a Bobcat since Brandon Wong's 27 during the 2006-07 campaign.
Antonin Verreault added his 14^th goal and 36^th point of the season. He stands behind only Wyttenbach, Gavin McKenna and Porter Martone on the national first-year scoring list.
Charlie Leddy recorded his first multi-point game of the season, notching a pair of assists.
Chris Pelosi has added points in both games since returning from a five-game absence after adding another goal tonight.

UP NEXT
The regular season finale is on tap Saturday in Cambridge, Mass., when the Bobcats take on Harvard at 7 p.m., at the Bright-Landry Hockey Center. The game can be seen live on ESPN+.
