After a promising start, the Lindenwood women's hockey team was dealt a 7-1 loss to Robert Morris on Saturday afternoon in Pittsburgh, Pa.
 
Shots were nearly even in the first period as the Lady Lions had just one less than Robert Morris at 10-9. Lindenwood also had the only goal as Lyndsay Kirkham had an unassisted goal at the 11:09 mark.
 
Lindenwood was not as fortunate though for the final two periods. Robert Morris outshot the Lady Lions 36-12 in those two periods, and the Colonials put the game away with six second-period goals.
 
One of the bright spots for the Lady Lions was the play of backup goalie Sarah McGall who stopped 17-of-18 shots in the final period. Saville Pickar had a +1 plus/minus in the game. Carrie Atkinson and Emily Gunderson each had a team-high three blocks.
 
Lindenwood returns home next weekend for a two-game series against RIT.
