Box Score HAMDEN, Conn. – It's challenging enough to play well after not playing a regular-season game since the fall of 2019. If you open with a pair of teams who competed last spring and have plenty of experienced players returning, there could be some bumps in the road.

The Bulldogs (0-2), who fell in OT on Friday in their opener, felt a bump today in a 4-0 loss to Quinnipiac, which is now 2-0 this season after hitting the net three times in the first 14 minutes today.

The Bobcats, who tallied 36 seconds into the game, had a 9-5 edge in shots. First-year goalie Annie Welch made four saves for the visitors.

Yale gets another tough test this Friday night when 3-0 Oregon State makes its first trip to New Haven. The game starts at 7 p.m. and airs live on ESPN+.
