In the Pipeline: 1/15/2018

Quinnipiac was back on the road in ECAC play this past weekend losing in gut wrenching fashion on Friday night to Dartmouth in the final 10 seconds before tying Harvard 2-2 the next afternoon. The Bobcats played well enough to win against the Crimson but Harvard star Ryan Donato showed why he is probably the best player in college hockey with a game tying goal with less than three and half minutes left in the game. Quinnipiac now heads out to the desert next weekend for a pair of games against Arizona State. Let's take a look a how some of the future Bobcats did over the past week.
