Homecoming for hockey, too

Today is Minnesota State's homecoming, and a lot of the focus will be on the football game. But the Mavericks women's hockey team also will be playing this afternoon, kicking off their regular season at 2 p.m. at the Verizon Center against RPI. The two teams also will play at 2 p.m. Sunday.

The Mavericks played an exhibition game a week ago against a Canadian college, British Columbia, and won 2-0, getting second-period goals from senior Jordan McLaughlin and freshman Brooke Bryant. Three goalies split time in goal with freshman Abigail Levy preserving the 2-0 lead with 12 saves in the third period.

Minnesota State has won its last two regular-season openers. The Mavericks are hoping to improve on a 5-28-1 record last season. RPI is coming off a 9-19-6 season.
