After two straight losses, the Bobcats bounced back against the Monmouth Hawks Saturday, winning 74-54. Quinnipiac hit 13 three-pointers in the victory, shooting 50% (13-for-26) from beyond the arc.

The Red Foxes are on a three-game winning streak, putting themselves in good position for the postseason. They most recently defeated Saint Peter’s 66-58. Maura Fitzpatrick led Marist in points with 17, while Rebekah Hand chipped in with 14 points and nine boards.

Here are four storylines to look out for in Thursday’s matchup:

Who steps up?

It seems like every game it is a different player that steps up for Quinnipiac, and head coach Tricia Fabbri has no problem with that. The Bobcats have had six different leading scorers in each of their last six games. Quinnipiac also has seven players averaging over six points per game on the season. On any given night it could be Jen Fay, Adily Martucci, Aryn McClure, Paula Strautmane or practically anyone else.

Home dominance

Quinnipiac is 9-1 at the TD Bank Sports Center on the season, with that one loss coming at the hands of the nationally-ranked Michigan State Spartans. The Bobcats have won 16 in a row against MAAC opponents at home. Plus, since the 2014-15 season, Quinnipiac is 26-1 in Hamden in conference games. Quinnipiac won the last meeting between these two teams 76-71 on Lender Court last February.

Is the gold rush done?

The Bobcats abandoned the gold rush system of five players in and five players out in their last game against the Hawks. Associate head coach Mountain MacGillivray admitted after the game that Quinnipiac will have to decide on a game-to-game basis on whether or not they use the gold rush. With the success they had without it Saturday afternoon, the Bobcats may look to go without it again.

Bobcats limit the stars

In its matchup with Monmouth, Quinnipiac was able to successfully contain the Hawks’ leading scorer Kayla Shaw to only three points. Shaw averages 11.6 points per game. The Bobcats will have to contend with limiting Marist’s Rebekah Hand who leads the Red Foxes, averaging 13.1 points per game.
