ANGOLA, Ind. -- The Lawrence University women's hockey team saw Trine University break open a close game with three third-period goals Saturday in a 4-0 setback to the Thunder at Thunder Ice Arena.
    Trine led just 1-0 headed to the third period, but the Thunder scored twice in the first eight minutes to pull away. Trine added another goal later in the period for the final margin.    
    Lawrence (3-22-0, 2-14-0 NCHA) had a 27-26 edge in shots, but the Vikings couldn't get the puck past Trine goaltender Casey Frank. Frank made 27 saves for the Thunder (10-15-0, 6-10-0), and senior Maeve Tallman stopped 26 shots for the Vikings.
    Lawrence had numerous chances but went 0-for-7 on the power play. Trine was 0-for-3 on the power play.
    The game was scoreless until Payton Hans scored for Trine at the 6:27 mark of the second. The score stayed that way until Ellie Warhoftig scored 4:42 into the third period. Hans scored again at the 7:29 mark for a 3-0 lead, and Hans scored at 13:28 for the final margin.
