Starting on Thursday, Nov. 3, the Missouri State Ice Bears embarked on a difficult three-game slate including one game against reigning National Champion and No. 10 Lindenwood University and back-to-back games against the fifth ranked Iowa State Cyclones.
The weekend didn’t get off to a great start, as the Ice Bears dropped the first contest against the Lions 8-1. MSU played strong against Lindenwood in the first two periods, as the Ice Bears trailed just 3-1 after 40 minutes of play.
But the Lions capitalized in the third period, scoring five times to squash any comeback attempt.
