Penn State eliminated Lindenwood 2-1 in the first round of the CHA Tournament a season ago behind goals from Abby Welch and Natalie Heising.
CHA AWARD WINNERS
Katie Rankin and Jessica Adolfsson were named CHA Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week respectively last week, becoming the third Nittany Lion duo to win CHA awards in the same week this season.
Rankin's POTW award is the first of her career while Adolfsson's ROTW honor is also the first of her Penn State career. Rankin previously won CHA Rookie of the Week award last season on Jan. 8, 2018. Both had 1G, 1A efforts against #4 Cornell last Tuesday.
LOOKING AT LINDENWOOD
Lindenwood enters the series on a two-game win streak after two shutouts against Post (NEWHA). The Lions outscored Post 17-0 and outshot them 155-9 in those two games. Their latest series win snapped a prior eight game losing streak which included a pair of losses to CHA opponent RIT.
Lindenwood has three players tied for the team lead in points with 12: Fr. Jada Burke (8G, 4A), So. Hannah Alt (6G, 6A), and Jr. Nicole Guagliardo (5G, 7A).
Freshman Goalie Sophie Wolf has started the past seven games and has a 2.58 GAA and a .893 save percentage this season. She picked up her first two career wins against Post last time out.
