In the Pipeline: 3/5/2018

Quinnipiac is once again headed to the quarterfinals of the ECAC tournament. After going on the road 8 miles down Whitney Avenue to face Yale, Quinnipiac swept their rival out of the ECAC playoffs in convincing fashion winning 5-1 and 4-1. Next up for the Bobcats is top seed Cornell at Lynah Rink. Quinnipiac was swept by the Big Red this season losing 2-1 and 1-0 but this team has prior success in the postseason against Cornell and have played very well in the past five plus years at Lynah. Expect a hard fought series and this to possibly go the distance as three of the four playoff series prior between them have gone to a Game 3. Now lets take a look at how some of the future Bobcats did over the past week.

St. Louis, Missouri native T.J. Friedmann had 5 points (2 goals, 3 assists) in the first two playoff games for the Victoria Grizzlies. Despite his team in an 0-2 hole he has been one of the bright spots early in the playoffs.
