Quinnipiac Wins Fourth Straight
Spencer Heichman (Yorba Linda, Calif.) scored twice to lead the
Quinnipiac men's ice hockey team to its fourth straight win as the
Bobcats defeated Canisius, 4-0, High Point Solutions Arena at the
TD Bank Sports Center on Sunday afternoon. Quinnipiac improves to
4-1-0 on the season while Canisius drops to 0-2-0.
Heichman becomes the second player this season to post a
multiple-goal game, joining Jeremy Langlois (Tempe, Ariz.) who has
two multi-goal games to his credit this season. Langlois scored
Quinnipiac's first goal of the game, with five minutes to play in
the first period, to push his team-leading total to six through the
Bobcats' first five games. Scott Zurevinski (Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan) had a pair of assists while Ben Arnt (Oakland, Minn.)
scored in his third straight game.
Dan Clarke (Belleville, Ontario) had 14 saves in the game as he
posts his fifth career shutout while improving to 2-0-0 on the
season. Canisius' Tony Capobianco stopped 40 shots in the game.
Langlois' goal came with a man-advantage after a Canisius penalty,
giving Quinnipiac five power-play goals in the weekend sweep. It
also give Langlois an NCAA-best five power-play goals for the year.
Matthew Peca (Petawawa, Ontario) started the play when he took a
pass in the left face-off circle and dropped the puck off to
Zurevinski. Zurevinski received the puck and made a blind,
back-handed pass to Langlois in the slot who popped a shot past
Capobianco to put Quinnipiac on the board, 1-0.
Heichman's first goal of the game happened to be the only one of a
second period that saw Quinnipiac put 21 shots on goal. It was
Zurevinski once-again setting up a teammate as Heichman's second
goal of the year gave Quinnipaic a 2-0 lead. Heichman pushed that
lead to three goals when Mike Dalhuisen (Nymegen, Holland) sent an
outlet pass up-ice to Heichman who received the puck just below the
red line. Heichman skated through the Canisius defense, finishing
one-on-one with Capobianco and give the Bobcats a 3-0 lead.
With less than five minutes to play, Loren Barron (Glendora,
Calif.) handled the puck deep in the Bobcats defensive zone before
hooking up with John Dunbar (Calgary, Alberta) at the red line.
Dunbar fed Arnt, who split the Canisius defense to score his third
goal of the season.
Quinnipiac returns to action on Tuesday, Oct. 18 when it hosts
Bentley at 7 p.m. at High Point Solutions Arena at the TD Bank
Sports Center in Hamden, Conn.
