The No. 6 ranked Michigan Wolverines are scheduled to officially begin the 2022 season this Friday and Saturday against the Lindenwood Lions. The Lions are currently 0-2 on the season after being swept last weekend by No. 2 ranked Minnesota.
It’s hard to imagine a more difficult start to Lindenwood’s maiden Division 1 season, but it appears the Lions are embracing this trial by fire scheduling. In their first game against the Golden Gophers, Lindenwood accrued 33 (!!) penalty minutes, were outshot 34-16, and blanked 4-0 by Minnesota.
In the second game, they were vastly improved; offensively, at least.
