Urgh. #7 BC women's hockey loses 4-2 in a tight, hard fought game with #5 St. Lawrence.
The first half of the game was a track meet, and BC showed their superior speed, with Fardelmann and Thunstrom scoring great breakaway goals. Then the game started getting physical and chippy, and BC couldn't quite make the adjustment.
Marianne Locke, the #1 star, took over the game for SLU. On a power play with 8 mins. left in the second, Locke got a rebound and roofed it over Schaus's right shoulder, the prettiest goal on a night full of very good goals. She then scored the winner on another power play in the 3rd, a rifled wrist shot from the right faceoff circle.
The game started to get VERY chippy in the third and I expect it will be a very physical rematch tomorrow. Should be interesting.
I really like SLU's Appleton Arena. At first I thought the wooden benches looked kind of dinky, but it has a very unique and intimate feel while not feeling old or rickety. It's a nice little place and it seems like it would get very loud when full - I'm looking forward to tomorrow's SLU-Clarkson men's game.

We're pretty fortunate in that we'll be watching three of the best rivalries in college hockey in three consecutive weeks: Maine-UNH last week, St. Lawrence-Clarkson this week, and BC-BU next week. Plus BC women square off against UNH the week after that. Hockey season has begun in earnest.
