PREVIOUSLY ... Finlandia Homecoming ... |
| Finlandia University, in Hancock, celebrated their 2010 Homecoming in February, with a number of campus events, including Bon Fires, Tugs of War, and sports events.Besides Men’s and Women’s Varsity Basketball games against St. Norbert College and Gogebic Community College, respectively, a pair of weekend varsity Hockey games were played against Lawrence University. Here, Finlandia’s Lions goal tender makes a save in the first period, with FU leading 2-1. | |
The Lions take the action to Lawrence’s end, with a shot from the far side that misses the net, but is shot back out to No. 8 from the corner, who sees an open net. | |
And the opportunity isn’t wasted, as he slams the puck home past the out of position goaltender and defender to make the Lions lead 3-1. | |
The cheerleaders and the Lions congratulate No. 8. |
