About The Lions
Last Time Out
The Lions saw their three-game winning streak come to an end last time out in a high-scoring 16-15 loss to New Hampshire. The Lions trailed 7-1 early and clawed back within one late, but were unable to complete the comeback. Luci Selander paced the offense with six total points, coming from five goals and one assist. Reese Krieger added four goals, while Tatum Bryant and Alissa DiGiacinto chipped in three.
