The Details

• Neither side generated much offense early as both teams played hard defensively. Quinnipiac peppered Stonehill goalie, Coutu early on sending seven shots his way and two of which were on target that Coutu turned back. 
• However, at the 23:15 mark, the Wildcats broke the scoreless tie when Delsouz found the back of the net.
• Jacob Woznicki had a chance for the equalizer shortly after the Delsouz goal but saw his shot go just wide to the left.
• From there, the Wildcats went on to add on three more goals in the first half courtesy of Bercedo (28:59), Stjernegaard (36:12), and McCann (38:53). 
• Quinnipiac's offense continued where it left off to start the second half as McCann netted his second goal on the day at 53:24.
• Shortly after the goal, the Skyhawks found the back of the net at 56:02 when Hadzic buried his shot past Hylton and cut the Quinnipiac deficit to four (5-1).
• McCann completed the hat trick later in the second half (73:49) to put the Wildcats back up five. However, nearly five minutes later (78:03), Meyer potted Stonehill's second goal of the day which made it 6-2. Despite the late goal, Quinnipac tacked on one more goal at 79:34 for the eventual 7-2 win.
