MINOT, N.D. – Last night, Minot State women's hockey team suffered a 3-1 home loss to the Lions of Lindenwood University.
 
The Beavers (9-2) entered the weekend with only one loss on the season which also came at home. Lindenwood (8-1) has also had a remarkable season thus far with only one loss prior to the two-game set with MSU.
 
The Lions jumped out to a fast start with two first-period goals. Michaela Read and Dakota McAlpine provided the scores with Lindsay Gillis, Marissa Delry, Tessa O'Connor, and Kim Turcotte all assisted. Read's goal came on a Lindenwood power play.
 
In the second period, Minot State narrowed the margin to one score. Ensley Fendelet put one past the goalie despite MSU being shorthanded.
 
After the second intermission, Lindenwood halted any Beaver optimism with another goal in the third period. Kennedy Frank scored the dagger with the help of Read's assist.
 
The Beavers and Lions will be finishing their weekend series with another contest this afternoon at Maysa Arena, Sunday, Feb. 14, at 1 p.m.
