The Lindenwood women's hockey team (2-11-1, 2-11-1 CHA) lost by a final score of 6-2 to Mercyhurst (7-5-1, 7-5-1 CHA) on Thursday night from Erie, Pa.

GAME OVERVIEW
The Lions had an opportunity on the powerplay just 1:40 into the opening period but failed to score.  Shortly after, Mercyhurst found the back of the net at the 7:06 mark to take a one goal lead. Five minutes later, the Lakers would light the lamp again making it 2-0 with just under seven minutes to play in the period. The Lions pushed back as Megan Wagner continued her hot play, cutting the deficit in half with a powerplay tally two minutes later.  The goal for Wagner marked her third in the last four games.  Rachel Goff and Bailey Coyne picked up assists on the goal.
 
Mercyhurst got off to a quick start in the second frame, regaining their two-goal lead just three minutes into the period.  Once again, on the powerplay, the Lions had a response as Jane Jacobs put one past the Lakers netminder at the 6:32 mark of the second period, making it a 3-2 game. Mercyhurst would find success of their own on the powerplay as they found the back of the net at the 14:50 mark of the frame, taking back their two-goal lead. They would take that lead into the second intermission.
 
The defense tightened up in the third period as each team had a combined six shots on goal halfway through the final frame.  One of those shots found the back of the net for Mercyhurst, however as the Lakers extended their lead to 5-2 at the 11:35 mark. The Lakers went on to add one more goal in the third and would pick up the 6-2 victory.
