Quinnipiac's Matt Lemire has transferred to UMass-Boston, the Register has learned. Sources indicated Lemire's decision was based on his interest in regular playing time. The junior forward had played in only 21 career games for the Bobcats, four this season, and has no career points.

UMass Boston, a member of the Division III ECAC East, is off to a 10-0 start under the direction of ex-UConn assistant Peter Belisle.

Lemire, a Townsend, Massachusetts resident, was an ECAC All-Academic selection but was unable to crack the lineup with any consistency. He saw no action as a freshman, played in 17 games last winter and four of the Bobcats 16 games this season.
