The Lions Women's Hockey team fell to 0-4-0 on the season with a pair of losses at home to St. Thomas by scores of 4-3 and 2-1. Both games were decided in the final five minutes of the third period where the Tommies scored in the last minute on Friday night, and scored with 4:44 left to go in Saturday's contest. Despite the results, there were several Lindenwood skaters who had big performances.

Silje Gundersen scored two goals in Friday's game, including the game-tying goal with one minute to play with an extra attacker on the ice. Gundersen's first goal of the season came on a one-timer from the right side of the ice on the power play off an assist from Ellen Wigermo and Josey Dunne-Weeks. Tatiana Blichova and Michaela Paulinyova also recorded their first collegiate points on Saturday as both Freshmen had an assist on Zsofia Pazmandi's first goal of the season.

Lexington Secreto was another Lion that had a good performance in the matchup against St. Thomas. The Senior goaltender from New Windsor, New York stopped a career-high 39 shots and recorded her second 30+ save game of the season. Secreto now leads the Lion goaltenders in saves with 73.
