HAMDEN, Conn. — The first thing folks at Quinnipiac want you to know is how to say the school's name.
Despite what you might have heard on television, It's KWIHN'-ih-pee-ak, not kwihn-uh-PEE'-ak.
"Quinnipiac doesn't roll off your tongue initially," coach Tricia Fabbri said Tuesday. "But, when you practice it, you get used to it. The more we keep winning, the easier it will be to say."
Fabbri and her players have made a name for themselves by upsetting Marquette and Miami in the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament, becoming just the fourth 12 seed in women's college basketball to reach the Sweet 16.
