THE SERIES VS. MANHATTAN<\/p>\n


\n\tThe Bobcats own the overall series with a 10-4-2 record but Manhattan has won two of the last three.
\n\tQuinnipiac won the matchup 2-1 in 2025 in Hamden, with Sindri Sigurjonsson<\/a> recording the 86th-minute winner to complete a second-half comeback.
\n\tEric Da Costa<\/a>‘s club last won in Riverdale in 2017, earning both regular season and postseason victories by a 1-0 scoreline over the Jaspers. Manhattan is 2-0-1 on its home turf against the Bobcats since then. <\/p>\n

SCOUTING THE JASPERS<\/p>\n


\n\tManhattan is winless in its last three contests, going 0-2-1 in its last three contests.
\n\tIt opened Metro Conference play on Sept. 26, drawing Siena 1-1. Nicolo Donadio scored his third of the year before a Saints equalizer in the 84th minute ensured a sharing of the points.
\n\tZiv Dahan is second in the league in both shot accuracy and shots on goal per game, while Tycho van Haaren’s four assists also rank him second. <\/p>\n

BALANCING ACT<\/p>\n


\n\tThe Bobcats have seen offense from a multitude of areas this season, as Taehyeon Lim<\/a> leads the way with 10 points in six games.
\n\tSix different Bobcats have recorded at least a goal, while three others have an assist to provide a balanced attack. <\/p>\n

HE’S HERE, HE’S THERE, HE’S EVERYWHERE\u2026<\/p>\n


\n\tSophomore midfielder Taehyeon Lim<\/a> took the NCAA Soccer world by storm the last week of August, totaling four goals (two game-winners) and two assists across a pair of dramatic victories against Providence and Yale.
\n\tOn Monday against the Friars, Lim converted a spot kick in the 82nd minute to finish a halftime comeback and give the Bobcats a 3-2 victory in their 2026 home opener.
\n\tFour days later, the big fireworks came as Lim recorded a second-half hat trick, scoring three consecutive goals to turn a 3-1 halftime deficit into a dramatic, 4-3 victory over Yale in New Haven.
\n\tHe was named the Metro Conference’s Offensive Player of the Week, as well as a member of the TopDrawerSoccer Team of the Week and National Player of the Week. <\/p>\n

IN SAFE HAN(SEN)<\/p>\n


\n\tFirst-year netminder Alexander Hansen<\/a> earned Metro Conference Defensive Player of the Week honors after a 15-save week against Providence and Yale.
\n\tThe 10 stops against the Friars on Monday are tied for the fifth-most by a goalkeeper this season, with it being the second-most by a first-year netminder.
\n\tFellow Metro Conference keeper Bennet Glinder made 12 stops on opening night against NJIT, the most by any goalie in the country.
\n\tHansen’s 12 total saves are second-most in the Metro and 13th nationally, while his 5.67 saves per game are 9th-best in the country. <\/p>\n

THE DA COSTA FILE<\/p>\n


\n\tHead Coach Eric Da Costa<\/a> enters year 22 with the Bobcat program, currently sitting with 167 career victories and a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances.
\n\tHe has made the postseason tournament 12 of the last 14 seasons, including 11 of the last 13 METRO postseasons.
\n\tHe has an overall record of 167-169-62. <\/p>\n

RETURNING PROWESS<\/p>\n


\n\tWilliam Holum<\/a> leads the returning scorers for the Bobcats, potting four goals and adding an assist during the 2025 campaign. He made 18 appearances, starting 17 of them.
\n\tOther multi-goal scorers returning include Andrew Monteserin<\/a> (two goals) and Benjamin Telle<\/a> (two goals).
\n\tFynn Ost<\/a> returns to lead the Quinnipiac backline where he logged 1165 minutes a season ago, making 14 starts and three more appearances off the bench. <\/p>\n

FIFTH IN THE METRO<\/p>\n


\n\tThe 2026 Metro Conference preseason poll placed Quinnipiac fifth in the league rankings ahead of this year’s campaign, tied with Marist.
\n\tThe Bobcats earned 109 points in the poll and will face each of the teams ahead of them in the league season. <\/p>\n
