Quinnipiac was able to keep its distance in the second, extending the lead and starting the running clock in the second quarter as the Bobcats took a 14-3 lead into the half.
Graham Straface and Hannah West found the net late, as Quinnipiac never let its advantage get below ten for the entirety of the second half.
