 It was a tough weekend for the BSU women's hockey team last weekend, falling by a goal on Friday and tying, but losing in a shootout on Saturday to Minnesota Duluth. This weekend, the Beavers have another tough test for more than one reason as they enter a home and home series with the University of North Dakota. This will be BSU's fourth straight conference series heading into the matchup for three and one on the young season. Just in North Dakota, we have our history in our past and it's always a battle every time playing them and we know that going in. And we focus a lot on winning our little battles in the corners and winning races to the pucks and stuff like that because we know that's how it is against them every time. Opportunities are hard to come by. They play very similar to us in terms of the way they layer. They block a lot of shots, so it'll be a challenge to manufacture offense. But again, we're kind of into the grind now. It's another big weekend in terms of points and opportunity to get points, so we're looking forward to Friday night and see what we can do.
