The win lifted UMass to 5-2. AIC, which had won five of its last six games, fell to 5-3.
It took Division I-AA Massachusetts nearly six minutes into the second half to score against Division II AIC.
Quinlan opened the scoring with a 19-yard touchdown run, capping a 70-yard drive in six plays on the Minutemen's second possession of the second half.
Early in the fourth quarter, Quinlan scored on a 1-yard run, capping a 72-year, 11-play drive.
