Head Coach Scott Hemer's Postgame Comments
"I thought we got outworked in the first quarter and that was difficult to recover from. After we pulled it together, it was fairly even the rest of the way, but that was disappointing. Hopefully, they take something from that as we have a quick turnaround and need to get back to working hard for a full 40 minutes."
 
Game Notes
• Quinnipiac is now 14-0 over Canisius all-time.
• Hinriksdottir's double-double is the sixth of the season and ninth of her career.
• For the second time, this season Canisius only hit two from behind the arc, going 2-for-16 on the day.
