 It's a bi-week for the Beavers women's hockey team and it couldn't have come at a better time. After getting swept last week, the Beavers sit at 0-4 for the first time since 1998. The team was back at practice today with over a week to prepare for Minnesota Duluth. It's a long time to sit on their winless record, but at the same time it gives them a break to focus on their own game and improve on some of their early season weaknesses. Sitting here now, you know, now it's an opportunity to kind of hit the reset button. It'll be kind of nice to work on some really specific things here this week prior to a game week going into Duluth. So, you know, we're going to take advantage of the bi-week and keep working on getting better. Bi-week is obviously nice to give your body a break, but right now I think after getting swept twice, we definitely want to play and win a couple of games here. But we obviously have a lot of things to work on, so I think this would be a good time to do that. Biggest area at needing improvement right now is on the back end, as they've allowed 18 goals in their first four games. Small mistakes have led to big consequences, so they need to make sure they're always on alert. You know, you have a couple of breakdowns in a game like these past couple of weekends here, and it's cost us, you know. No matter what kind of a team we're playing, there's a lot of great teams out there, and they're going to make us pay for it. So, just focusing on the little things, communicating and, you know, blocking shots and playing Bieber hockey is what we do best. So, just kind of focusing on those things, and hopefully that'll help us in the end. It's a lot of little things. It's positional things. You know, we center got caught out of position. They weren't layered correctly, and that results in Providence getting a great opportunity and scoring. So, it's just little things like that that we just got to continue to work on, and so we'll take full advantage this week to do just that.
