The Quinnipiac University Bobcats advanced to the Men's Frozen Four Final by beating powerhouse Michigan 5-2 in Thursday night's semifinal.

Jacob Quillian scored QU's first two goals and Sam Lipkin hit the game winner 90 seconds into the third period to send coach Rand Pecknold's team to its third Frozen Four Final in 10 years.

"We're not going to the beach, we're not going to the pool, we're not going jetskiing. We're here to win a hockey game... we'll enjoy this win in late April, May and June. We can enjoy it all summer, but right now we have to start reloading and getting ready for a good Minnesota team," Pecknold said.

Thursday night's win marked Quinnipiac's 33rd of the season, a new program record for the Bobcats.

Puck drop for Saturday night's National Championship is slated for 8 p.m.

Quinnipiac has never won a national title in men's ice hockey.
