Soubrier, a senior defender, was instrumental in his second-to-last collegiate game ever this past weekend; a 4-3 win against Central Connecticut St. University. Soubrier recorded two assists and one goal in the Bobcats last win of the season. His goal was the game winning goal; scored in the 93rd minute off of a free kick opportunity. It was his second career game winning goal, with the first coming against Sacred Heart on October 18, 2009.

Soubrier’s big game vaulted him into the team lead in assists with five, and second on the team in overall points with nine. With his two goals on the year, it marked the second straight year that Soubrier led all Quinnipiac defensemen in goals and points.

With higher expectations after they year, the Bobcats disappointing season culminated in a 1-1 tie against #11 Monmouth University last Sunday. On the year, the Bobcats finish with a record of 4-11-2 overall, and 3-6-1 in conference play. After a season where Quinnipiac lost a close match to Monmouth in the Northeast Conference Tournament Championship, the Bobcats failed to make the tournament this year.
