HAMDEN, CT - The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) men's hockey team saw sophomore defender Nick Ardanaz score in the second period for the team's lone goal of the night as the Engineers fell to the top-seeded Quinnipiac Bobcats in Game 1 of the ECAC Hockey Quarterfinals by a final score of 5-1 Friday night. With the loss, Quinnipiac can clinch the series on Saturday, or an RPI win will force a third and decisive game on Sunday.
