 After an 11-18-3 season, the BSU women's hockey team felt just short of fifth place in the WCHA. The Beavers had to settle for seventh, and this weekend they'll travel to take on two-seated Minnesota in the first round of the WCHA playoffs. The seventh seed has never beaten a two-seated in the history of the WCHA tournament, but head coach Jim Scanlon has a simple message for his players, why not us? You never overestimate, you never underestimate your opponents. And absolutely why not? Why can't a seven beat a two? It's going to happen, why not this year? Let's see, let's again, just focus on Friday and we'll go from there. I'll take this group anywhere, you know, and I'll take our chances, because one, we have great goal tending, and that's, you know, you get great goal tending, you're going to be in any game against anybody. And I just like the way we're playing, I really do. If you've enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland Public Television.
