Head Coach Sahar Nusseibeh's Postgame Comments
"It was a tough game today versus a very aggressive Quinnipiac team. They came out ready to go and unfortunately it took us a couple quarters to get going. We need to clean up the 'how' of what we do. We need to commit to it with consistent action. We will get back to Buffalo and back work for Monmouth."
 
Game Notes
• Quinnipiac extended its winning streak over Canisius on Monday, claiming its 18th game in as many meetings since the Bobcats joined the MAAC before the 2013-14 season.
• With her pair of 3-pointers, Haskell has now made a shot from beyond the arc in 24 of her 27 collegiate games (88.9 percent), which remains the highest percentage by a Golden Griffin since the 2000-01 season.
• Freshman Rhay Porter recorded two blocks, her eighth multi-block performance of the season. Porter now has 31 blocks on the season, the 14th-most by a Canisius player on record and the highest total since Crystal Porter had 32 rejections during the 2014-15.
