Quinn scored
her first collegiate points and did so in dramatic fashion, by notching a hat
trick in the Stags win over Quinnipiac.
She scored all three goals in a span of just under six minutes, netting
two both of her free position shots on the day.
The effort made Quinn the Stags second leading scorer for the game, in
just her second collegiate appearance.
