 While the Beavers women's hockey team hits the road for a trip out east this weekend as they take on the Providence Friars for their second match-up of the season. Last week the Beavers had a competitive showing in their two losses against top ranked Clarkson out shooting them in both games but a few defensive lapses ended up costing them. Providence finished second in the hockey east regular season last year and should provide another challenge for BSU. Very good team we know that some really really talented players again they got a new coach but he's been around and you know it was a big part of the USA's gold medal winning women's team last year as part of that staff and we know it's going to be a you know a challenge for us but it's a great another great opportunity and a chance to get going as far as the wind column. We have a good team we can play with any team in the country I mean yeah the score didn't really show what we had hoped for this weekend but I do think we definitely had times where we were owning them in their zone and just keeping them in and they weren't getting too many chances we just need to limit our odd man rushes that we give up. A lot of our goals that we got scored against us were on rushes just breakdowns sometimes it was actually girls coming back too hard that they they left girls behind them so just being aware of your surroundings been working a lot on that. These teams split their last series back in 2012. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland news please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
