All-Time Against Ohio State
Quinnipiac and Ohio State have faced-off seven times since their first match-up on Jan. 6, 2004 - a 1-0 win by Ohio State that featured one of the all-time great goalie performances in Quinnipiac history in Justin Eddy's 53-save outing. After a brief hiatus in the all-time series, QU and OSU have played six times over the last three years with the Bobcats winning four of the six games. After a season-opening sweep in 2009 in Columbus, Ohio, the Buckeyes visited the Nutmeg State for the first time in 2010. Quinnipiac took the first game of the series, 2-1, before Ohio State responded with a 4-0 shut-out. Last season, the two teams faced each other on the first weekend of the season, with Ohio State winning the first game before Quinnipiac responded with a 4-3 win. In that game, Jeremy Langlois scored twice while Kellen Jones had two assists.
