The Quinnipiac University women's ice hockey team will play host
to Yale and Brown University for their final two games of the
regular season this weekend at the TD Bank Sports Center. The
Bobcats will take on the Bulldogs on Friday night at 7 p.m., and
will face off against the Bears on Saturday at 4 p.m. Saturday's
game will also serve as Senior Day for the four graduating seniors
on the team. The outcome of the weekend series will also determine
the playoff destination for the Bobcats, as they are in contention
for an ECAC Hockey Tournament host position. In their last outing,
Quinnipiac tied the No. 4-ranked Clarkson, 1-1, at the TD Bank
Sports Center.
Scouting the Bulldogs
Yale currently posts a 10-14-3 overall record with an 8-11-1 mark
in ECAC Hockey. The Bulldogs are tied in eighth place with
Dartmouth as each team has earned 17 points in league play. Yale
needs to stay at least one point ahead of Dartmouth (who plays
Clarkson and St. Lawrence this weekend) to secure the final berth
into postseason play. Junior forward Bray Ketchum leads the team
offensively, tallying 12 goals and 11 assists on the year for 23
total points. Junior goaltender Jackee Snikeris has seen the most
time in net for the Bulldogs, playing in 23 games and posting a
.928 save percentage and a 2.46 goals-against average.
Scouting the Bears
Brown holds a 2-20-4 overall record this season, with a 0-17-3
record in the ECAC. The Bears have just three points in conference
play, and are not in contention for postseason play. Freshmen
forwards Alena Polenska and Laurie Jolin currently lead the team in
points, as they have each tallied 10 on the year. Polenska has
scored five goals and added five assists, while Jolin has scored
three goals this year with seven helpers. Freshman goaltender Katie
Jamieson has seen the most time in net for the Bears, playing in 25
games and posting a .913 save percentage with a 3.12 goals-against
average.
