For The Stat Hungry
Quinnipiac has never had its first three players to score multiple goals in a game do so in the same period of each respective game...until this season. Scott Zurevinski scored twice in the second period against Colgate, Kellen Jones scored twice in the third period against Holy Cross and Clay Harvey scored twice in the second period against Brown.
