APPLETON, Wis. -- The Lawrence University women's hockey team got back on the ice for the first time in almost three weeks, and the Vikings dropped an 8-0 Northern Collegiate Hockey Association decision to Adrian College.
    This game was postponed two weeks ago, and the site of the game was swapped to Appleton as part of a three-game set for both teams. Lawrence will face Marian University on Friday and Saturday, and Adrian travels to Finlandia University for games the next two days.
    Lawrence hadn't played since a nonconference game on Jan. 1.
    Adrian (8-5-1, 5-0-0 NCHA) jumped on the Vikings early and scored just 2:54 into the game. The Bulldogs added another goal midway through the period and then picked up a third score late in the period and led 3-0 after one.
    The Bulldogs then scored three times in the first 10:49 of the second period. Lawrence (0-12-0, 0-5-0) held the Bulldogs scoreless for a stretch of 19:45 before they scored two times in the middle of the third period to close out the scoring.
    Brooke Schembri, Kaleigh Cadorette and Sydney Daversa had two goals apiece for Adrian.
    Charlie Prior made the start in goal for Lawrence and picked up 36 saves in the first 30:49. Maeve Tallman stopped 29 shots in the final 29:11 for Lawrence. Denisa Jandova made seven saves to get the shutout.
    Lawrence is back on the ice quickly and faces Marian in a rare Friday afternoon game at the Appleton Ice Center.
