Head coach Rick Seeley has come to Quinnipiac and done
what some may have thought impossible, and many had thought
improbable. He’s taken the Bobcats’ women’s ice
hockey team and turned them from perennial cellar dwellers into
team with a legitimate shot to win an ECAC Championship in just his
second season on the job. This weekend, Quinnipiac heads into its
first ECAC postseason series in history when they play host to
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in a best-of-three series at the
TD Bank Sports Center. Without further ado, here’s the series
breakdown.
Down the Stretch
Quinnipiac roars into the postseason as one of the hottest teams
not only in ECAC Hockey, but the entire country. The Bobcats are
11-2-2 in their last 15 games, and both of their losses were by
scores of 1-0. Over that span, they’ve beaten nationally
ranked Harvard at home, swept then-nationally ranked Syracuse on
the road, and tied both Cornell and Clarkson.
RPI was playing very well up until the final weekend of the
regular season when they dropped games to Cornell and Colgate. But
the Engineers also took down Clarkson on the road, as well as
Harvard at home.
