Quinnipiac is 5-5 this season, but their record doesn’t showcase the intensity of their games. Last time around, QU lost by only one point, which seems to be common for their losses.

It will certainly be a great game tonight, as the two teams battle to better their record. This game will be the sixth time in both programs’ history that these two teams meet.
