Quinnipiac senior Victoria Vigilanti (Woodbridge, Ontario) has earned this week’s QBSN Athlete of The Week honor by leading the Quinnipiac women’s ice hockey team to a weekend sweep against No. 4 Cornell and Colgate.
Vigilanti stopped 32 of 33 shots during the first home victory versus Cornell in Quinnipiac program history. She then stopped another 21 shots on senior day against Colgate to earn the 4-1 win.
Her tremendous weekend helped push the Bobcats overall record to 17-9-3 and 11-5-2 in ECAC play. Quinnipiac now sits fourth in the conference standings just ahead of St. Lawrence.
The two victories also improve Vigilanti’s record this season to 15-7-2, giving her the third most wins in the conference. She and the Bobcats hit the ice again this Friday, Feb. 14 on the road at St. Lawrence.
