Josh Siembida and the Quinnipiac University Bobcats (4-2-0, 0-0-0 ECACHL) earned a 5-0 shutout victory over the American International Yellow Jackets (0-2-0, 0-0-0 AHA) at the Northford Ice Pavilion Saturday night.<\/p>\n
This was the backend game of the home and home series for the two clubs, in which the Bobcats extended its winning streak to four games.<\/p>\n
“We played well tonight, said Quinnipiac head coach Rand Pecknold. “We settled down and played better team defense. <\/p>\n
Quinnipiac struck first on a five-on-three power-play goal by Matt Sorteberg. Reid Cashman fed Sorteberg at the left circle, who beat AIC goaltender Tom Fenton to make it 1-0 at 13:42.<\/p>\n
AIC had a golden opportunity to tie the score early on in the second period. The Yellow Jackets had a five minute power play thanks to a Quinnipiac checking-from-behind penalty. AIC could not capitalize with the man advantage, however.<\/p>\n
“We struggled on the power and we need to get more shots on net,” said AIC head coach Gary Wright. <\/p>\n
Quinnipiac responded with a power-play goal of its own, this time by Brian Leitch. Leitch received a neat backdoor pass from Ben Nelson and buried a one-timer at 9:57 of the second.<\/p>\n
The Bobcats scored their third goal less then a minute later on a Mike Bordieri tally. Joe Testa picked up a rebound and sent it up ice to Joe Dumais. Dumais fed a streaking Bordieri, who put the puck under Fenton’s blocker. <\/p>\n
The Bobcats’ David Marshall added two goals in the third. Marshall’s first goal came on a shorthanded breakaway with an assist by Andy Meyer. Marshall’s second goal came thanks to a beautiful deke move after receiving a long pass from Cashman. <\/p>\n
Cashman finished the night with three helpers, moving his assist total to ten and his point total to 11 on the season. <\/p>\n
AIC finished 0-11 on the power play while Quinnipiac was 2-9. Siembida made 17 saves in net for the shutout win and Fenton made 28 in the loss. <\/p>\n
“I was focused on what I needed to take care of in our end,” said Siembida. “Our team defense was great and our penalty kill was awesome.”<\/p>\n
The Bobcats return to action next weekend when they take to the road to play Robert Morris. The Yellow Jackets have next weekend off before hosting Mercyhurst for a pair of league games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
