...scoring opportunities, on the other side of the rink, sophomore goaltender Kyle Richter and the defense simultaneously blanked the Bobcats, the team’s fourth shutout of the season.Although welcomed, the historically dominating numbers were not expected. The Crimson enjoyed time off the ice due to a first-round bye last week. By contrast, last weekend against Brown, Quinnipiac put on an offensive show and scored 14 goals in two games.
