LAST GAME (Bellarmine 14, Quinnipiac 13)
Junior attack Brian Feldman had six goals, but it wasn't quite enough as the Bellarmine Men's Lacrosse team took a 14-13 win over the Bobcats in Quinnipiac's home opener on Saturday at Yale's Reese Stadium. The Knights led by as many as three (11-8) in the third before the Bobcats closed out the quarter on a 3-0 run. Bellarmine went back up 14-12 with just over nine minutes left, and Feldman brought Quinnipiac within one with his sixth goal of the game with just over six minutes left, but Quinnipiac was unable to get the equalizer. Jack Brust had 14 saves, Anthony Carchietta had two goals and two assists and Foster Cuomo had a goal and three assists for the Bobcats.
LAST YEAR vs. NJIT (QUINNIPIAC 9, NJIT 7)
Brian Feldman and Ryan Keenan scored fourth-quarter goals 36 seconds apart to break a 6-6 tie and send Quinnipiac on its way to a 9-7 win over NJIT at QU Lacrosse Turf Complex. The Bobcats received a tough challenge from NJIT, which led 4-1 early in the second quarter, but were able to pull even at 5-5 in the closing seconds of the half on a goal from Kevin Diehl. Feldman broke the tie in the third quarter with his second of three goals, but the Highlanders answered late in the third to knot the score back up heading into the fourth. After the Bobcats went ahead 8-6, NJIT got one of the goals back and had two chances to tie, but Jack Hill and Nate Nibbelink forced turnovers before the Highlanders could get a shot off, and Foster Cuomo sealed it with 1:03 left with a man-up goal into an empty net.
TRI-CAPTAINS IN 2017
Quinnipiac will have tri-captains for the 2017 season. Senior Jack Brust and Kevin Diehl have been captains since the fall season, while fellow senior Drew D'Antonio added captain duties for the spring. They are expected to be the only three seniors that the Bobcats lose after this season (attack Zach Malsky is also a senior, but has a redshirt year available if he chooses to use it).
CUOMO SHARES MAAC PRESEASON PLAYER OF YEAR
Sophomore attack Foster Cuomo was named the 2017 MAAC Preseason Co-Player of the Year in a vote of the league's coaches. Cuomo was a second-team All-MAAC midfielder last year, but closed the season playing his best lacrosse under pressure, scoring 11 of his 22 goals in the postseeaon after the all-conference teams were picked. Cuomo shared the Preseason Player of the Year honor with Jeff Edwards of Canisius, while junior attack Brian Feldman (36 goals in 2016) was also named to the preseason All-MAAC team. The Bobcats were a unanimous pick to repeat as league champions.
CUOMO BECOMES QUINNIPIAC'S MR. MAY
Foster Cuomo had a strong freshman season last spring, earning his way onto the MAAC All-Rookie team. But he took his game to an entirely new level in the postseason. Cuomo had four goals and two assists in Quinnipiac's 13-7 win over Canisius in the MAAC Semifinals, which was his first collegiate hat trick. He then added two more goals in the MAAC Finals against Marist, one of which earned him the No. 6 spot on ESPN SportsCenter's Top 10 (a blind over-the-shoulder shot into the upper corner). Cuomo added four more goals in his first-ever NCAA Tournament game against Hartford. leading the Bobcats to the win, and added one more against No. 1 Maryland in the NCAA First Round. His 11 postseason goals in four games matched the total that he had during the regular season. He was actually not the only Bobcat who accomplished that feat, as current senior Drew D'Antonio had seven postseason goals, matching his total from the regular season.
FELDMAN HAS SIXTH-LONGEST GOAL STREAK IN NATION
Entering the NJIT game, Brian Feldman has a streak of 12 straight games with at least one goal, dating back to being held scoreless by Marquette last spring, which ties him for sixth on the active list nationally.
