Lindenwood defeated the Tommies by scores of 4-3 and 4-1, respectively, with the first game being an overtime victory.
 
Casey Adimey netted the game-winning goal in the overtime session, her first goal of the year. The senior defenseman continued her strong play in game two, finding the back of the net at the 17:50 mark of the first period, which extended Lindenwood's lead. Adimey picked up a helper on a score by Rachel Goff early in the final frame and then sealed the victory, finding the empty net with 1:56 to go.
 
For her efforts against St. Thomas, Adimey was named CHA Defenseman of the Week after recording three goals and one assist, including two game-winning goals. Adimey joins Morgan Neitzke and Natalie Ferenc as Lindenwood players who have captured CHA weekly honors this season
 
Lindenwood boasts nine players who have netted three goals or more, led by Maddison Stitt, Valerie Caldwell and Megan Wagner who have compiled five apiece. Sierra Burt leads the team in points with 16 (4 G, 12 A). The 12 assists are tied for third most in the CHA.
 
Ohio State enters the weekend as the No. 2 team in the country, with a record of 15-3-0, including a 13-3-0 mark inside WCHA play. The Buckeyes have won nine of their last ten games.
 
The Lions will play their third ranked team this season, as they have faced No, 1 Wisconsin and No. 9 Clarkson already this year.
