Women's Hockey Hosts RIT for Weekend Series

Series Notes:
- The Lindenwood women's hockey team hosts the RIT Tigers for a two-game series on Janaury 26-27 at Lindenwood Ice Arena in Wentzville, Mo. The series will open with a 6:00 p.m. puck drop on Friday evening, followed by 1:00 p.m. start on Saturday.

- The two teams have met 20 times since the start of the 2012-13 season, with RIT holding a 9-6-5 advantage over Lindenwood. The Lions and Tigers have skated even during the last 12 meetings, with each team posting a 5-5-2 record.

- Earlier this season, Lindenwood and RIT split a two-game series played in Rochester, N.Y. The Tigers prevailed in the opening game of the series, winning by a 4-3 score. Lindenwood secured a 6-0 win in the series finale, the team's largest margin of victory against a Division I opponent in program history.

Lindenwood Notes:
- Britannia Gillanders scored her fourth goal of the season, and first power-play goal, on January 20 at Mercyhurst.

- Gillanders' goal raised her season point total to 10, making her the only Lions to reach double-digit points in each of the last three seasons. 

- Gillanders is currently sixth on Lindenwood's all-time scoring list with 48 career points. If Gillanders registers two more points this season, she will become just the fifth Lion to reach the 50-point plateau.

- Courtney Ganske dished out her 14th assist of the season on January 20, extending her program record for single-season assists and points by a defender.

- Ganske currently ranks 30th in the nation with an average of 0.64 assists per game.

- Kirsten Martin picked up her third assist of the season on January 20. Martin has now equaled her previous career-high in single-season points with eight.

- Cierra Paisley won a team-high 57.5 percent of her faceoffs during the two-game series at Mercyhurst. Paisley led the team with 23 victories inside the faceoff circle during the series, and has won a team-best 255 draws this season. 

- Erin Near led Lindenwood with nine blocked shots during the two games against Mercyhurst. Near blocked a career-high seven shots on January 19.

- Ally Larson has blocked a team-high 51 shots this season, and has blocked at least one shot in 21 of the team's 22 games this season.

- Jolene deBruyn made 44 saves at Mercyhurst on January 21, the fifth time this season that she has made at least 40 saves in a game.

- Lindenwood's power-play unit is converting on 16.7 percent of its chances, ranking second in the CHA.
