Lindenwood men's hockey lost 8-4 Sat. at 5th-ranked Minnesota-Duluth. Lions (9-11) trailed only 3-2 after 2 periods in what was a pretty even game. But things game got away from them after a series of penalties - including a 5-minute major. Minnesota-Duluth had 4 power play goals

Last night's #stlblues game against Chicago marked the 6th time since late Oct. that Blues have had a chance to reach .500 (in points %). They have lost all 6 games by a combined score of 30-12. So basically this team has been running in place for 2 1/2 months.

Big, big win for the Billikens.
SLU with a huge win, beating VCU 71-62. SLU saw a 14-point lead vanish, and then closed with a 10-0 run to get the victory
