Home Ice in ECAC Hockey Quarterfinals on the Line This Weekend for Women's Ice Hockey; Travels to Yale and Brown
The Quinnipiac women's ice hockey team (17-10-4, 11-6-3 ECAC Hockey) enters the final weekend of the regular season ready to travel to Yale (4-19-3, 3-13-3 ECAC Hockey) and Brown (6-18-1, 5-15-0 ECAC Hockey) looking to seize control of home ice for the ECAC Hockey Quarterfinals. Currently the ECAC Hockey point standings has the Bobcats (25 points) sitting in fifth place, two points behind the fourth seed St. Lawrence Saints (27 points). Due to a win and tie against the Saints this season, the Bobcats need to finish the weekend at least tied with St. Lawrence in points to secure the home ice advantage for the Quarterfinal Round. Two wins and a St. Lawrence loss would do the trick and help Quinnipiac host just their second ECAC Hockey Tournament series in program history and for the first time since the 2010 Quarterfinals. Dartmouth (24 points) is also breathing down the Bobcats’ neck and could force the Bobcats into a sixth seed with potential outcomes to be determined over the weekend.
