With Quinnipiac’s winter athletics closing its 2025-26 chapter and spring sports getting into full swing, Bobcat Nation has seen its fair share of records and milestones.
WINTER SPORTS
On the ice, men’s and women’s ice hockey programs have made a name for themselves this season, both reaching the Regional Finals of the NCAA Tournament.
For the men’s program, the team captured its sixth consecutive regular season title with Quinnipiac being the only team in the ECAC to claim six straight titles. Additionally, the Bobcats made their seventh consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament, standing as the longest active streak by any team in the nation.
In the Sioux Falls Regional Semifinal matchup against the Providence Friars, freshman forward Ethan Wyttenbach tied Quinnipiac’s single-season points record, at 59, coming off an empty net goal.
While he was unable to set a new record, Wyttenbach joins former Bobcat forwards Collin Graf ‘23 and Bryan Leitch ‘09 at the impressive point total in only his freshman campaign.
And the Bobcat record-tying didn’t stop there, as senior forward and captain Victor Czerneckianair tied former Bobcat forward Travis St. Denis ‘16 for the most NCAA playoff games played as a Bobcat, at six.
Looking at the women’s squad, the Bobcats captured their first ECAC title in a decade at the inaugural Lake Placid, N.Y. Women’s ECAC Championship weekend.
With the title, Quinnipiac earned an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament, where it landed in Madison, Wisco. for regionals. In a dominant semifinal game against Franklin Pierce, Quinnipiac sophomore netminder Felicia Frank stood like a brick wall in net, and in doing so set the Bobcats’ single-season save record.
In the final game of her sophomore season, Frank would set the record, recording over 1,000 saves and solidifying her spot in program history.
Switching over to the court, both men’s and women’s basketball appeared in the MAAC Tournament, both coming up short of taking the conference title back to Hamden.
However, the women’s squad’s season wasn’t done yet, as the Bobcats advanced to the Women’s Basketball Invitational Tournament.
Quinnipiac would make it to the second round of the tournament — marking the first time in eight years the Bobcats have won a postseason game outside of their conference – before falling to the Stanford Cardinal.
With the recent shocking news of Quinnipiac head coach Tricia Fabbri retiring after 31 years at the helm of women’s basketball, some good news can be found in graduate student guard Jackie Grisdale, senior guard Sydney Ryan and junior forward Anna Foley joining the 1,000-point club.
SPRING SPORTS
Quinnipiac softball is off to its best start in conference play since joining the MAAC in 2014, currently posting a 11-3 record.
Coming into the season ranked No. 7 in the MAAC Preseason Coaches Poll, the Bobcats have managed to come up with some big wins, including snagging a three-game series from Iona (who was ranked No. 4 in the preseason poll).
Moreover, the Bobcats’ stats speak for themselves, leading the MAAC in batting average with .323, while senior outfielder Mac Davis leads the conference with a .500 batting average.
Shifting over to the court, women’s tennis remains undefeated on home turf, going 6-0, as the squad opened up conference play against Sacred Heart with a 6-1 win March 20.
In her 11th season at the helm of the Bobcats, Quinnipiac head coach Paula Miller recently recorded her 150th career win, following a 7-0 win over the University of New Haven March 21.
On the turf, two women’s lacrosse athletes have reached the 100th goal milestone: senior attackers Mia Delmond and Catie Bendowski.
Delmond reached the milestone in the Bobcats’ 15-9 loss to the Yale Bulldogs Feb. 17, where Delmond recorded two back-to-back goals in the matchup. The Rockville Centre, N.Y. native has 26 goals, as of publication, bringing her career total to 124.
Bendowski reached the milestone in the Bobcats’ 14-13 loss to the Niagara Purple Eagles March 21.
