Colin’s goal was incredibly dynamic as she toe-dragged past one defender and then beat St. Lawrence goalie Carmen MacDonald five-hole for the game-winner.

The Bobcats needed to overcome a two-point deficit against St. Lawrence over the final weekend and did just that with four points compared to just one for the Saints.

Quinnipiac (19-10-4, 13-6-3 ECAC Hockey) closes out the 2012-13 regular season with their most conference victories in program history while Brown finishes the season 6-20-1 (5-17 ECAC Hockey).

Senior Victoria Vigilanti made 12 saves in net to preserve her 24th career shutout and third of the season while juniors Erica Uden Johansson (one goal, one assist) and Kelly Babstock (two assists) carried the load on the offensive end for Quinnipiac which registered a season-high 52 shots against Yale. With St. Lawrence forcing a 2-2 tie against Harvard on Friday, Quinnipiac (18-10-4, 12-6-3 ECAC Hockey) holds steady in fifth place in the ECAC Hockey standings with 27 points compared to the Saints’ 28.

Currently the ECAC Hockey point standings has the Bobcats (25 points) sitting in fifth place, two points behind the fourth seed St. Lawrence Saints (27 points). Due to a win and tie against the Saints this season, the Bobcats need to finish the weekend at least tied with St. Lawrence in points to secure the home ice advantage for the Quarterfinal Round. Two wins and a St. Lawrence loss would do the trick and help Quinnipiac host just their second ECAC Hockey Tournament series in program history and for the first time since the 2010 Quarterfinals. Dartmouth (24 points) is also breathing down the Bobcats’ neck and could force the Bobcats into a sixth seed with potential outcomes to be determined over the weekend.

The Bobcats battled off two Saints power play opportunities in the closing minutes of the third period and overtime as senior goalie Victoria Vigilanti (32 saves) and the Quinnipiac defense played big throughout. Due to their win over the Saints earlier in the season, the Bobcats (17-9-4, 11-5-3 ECAC Hockey) keep hold of the fourth and final home playoff ice seed as they finish with the series victory over St. Lawrence (16-11-4, 11-5-3 ECAC Hockey).

Currently tied with the Saints for fourth place in the ECAC Hockey point standings with 24 each, a victory over St. Lawrence would give the Bobcats a season sweep and two points over their conference foe. After Friday’s contest the Bobcats will hit the road just a couple towns over for a matchup with the No. 6 nationally-ranked Golden Knights. Quinnipiac looks to avenge their 4-1 loss earlier this season to Clarkson and hope to do so at a place, Cheel Arena, where they last defeated the Golden Knights in the 2012 ECAC Hockey Quarterfinals.
