Quinnipiac is in the Frozen Four!

And no, this is not an April Fool’s joke.

Shortly after 9:00 p.m. on March 31st, the Quinnipiac University Men’s Hockey team dominated Union (N.Y.) 5-1 to qualify, for the first time in school history, for the Frozen Four. The final destination for the 2012-2013 campaign will be The Steel City. Entering the tournament as the number one overall seed, the Bobcats have met the high expectations thus far. Writing as a QU alum, it is somewhat surreal to watch the men in gold and navy perform with such excellence on national television. April 11th is their semifinal match-up versus St. Cloud State with a spot in the national championship on the line.

Making the SportsCenter Top 10 Plays has occurred before for a Quinnipiac athlete, like when one of its outfielders made an acrobatic over-the-fence catch about five years ago. A spectacular play this past weekend gave “the Q” yet another prized highlight for the prestigious list. How about #4!
