Actually, Quinnipiac played one other Division I team outside the
MAAC, winning a single game against Army.  One of the strange things
about Q's schedule is that it only includes seven D1 teams:  the other
5 D1 MAACers (AIC and SH are D2) and the two service academies.  None
of those seven teams has taken a single point from a member of an
established conference.  (The MAAC teams haven't played them, and Army
and Air Force have a combined record of 0-18-0.)
