St. Thomas (2-9) and Lindenwood (0-9)

Thursday - St. Thomas 4,  Lindenwood 1 

Friday - St. Thomas 5,  Lindenwood 3

St. Thomas picks up their first win of the season this past Thursday with a 4-1 victory over the Lindenwood University Lions. Lindenwood is a newer Division 1 team, as they moved from the NAIA in the 2012-2013 season. Lindenwood is in the CHA (College Hockey America). Lindenwood has struggled in their move to D1, as their best season since joining Division 1 was a 10-20 record during the '17-'18 season.
 
In game one of the series, former Breck standout Gabby Billing provided a spark for the Tommies, scoring the game's opening goal to make it 1-0 early in the first period. Anna Solheim (Mounds View) and Haley Maxwell (Edina) had assists on the first goal for the Tommies. The Lions storm back and notch a goal with 8:58 left in the first period. St. Thomas would go on to score three unanswered goals to win the game 4-1. Maija Almich (Centennial) the second goal for the Tommies, while Maddy Clough (Andover) netted the final tally to secure a 4-1 win. Billing ended the game with one goal and two assists. 
 
Game two for the Tommies featured more of the same offensive success. The Tommies completed the sweep with a 5-3 victory, scoring three times in the second half of the game to pull away from the Lions. Goals from Maddie Jurgensen (Andover) and Maija Almich (Centennial) ultimately propelled the Tommies to victory. The wins in Missouri halt a seven-game losing streak for the Tommies. 
 
Next up: The Tommies have a home-and-home series with Mankato State this Saturday and Sunday
