The Lynx claimed three regular season conference championships and one playoff title (all in the WWCHL), and qualified for five ACHA National Tournaments, highlighted by a second-place finish in 2019.

[2] The nearly-one-year lead time paid large dividends, as first coach and director of hockey operations Craig Buntenbach landed a gigantic 15-player freshman class that helped ensure the team's immediate competitiveness.

The diverse inaugural group included future stars like Americans Ashley Dietmeier and Alexandra Brown, Canadians Blake Fuller, Maddy Millar and Jessica Moon, and New Zealand's Firth Bidois.

Jaylene Anderson and Delaney Peters, both of whom came over from perennial ACHA Division 2 contender Rainy River Community College, provided an immediate veteran presence, while big Alaskan Alahna Stivers joined the roster late in the season.

Hannah's tenure could not have started better, as the Lynx bolted out to an early 9–0–0 record and jumped from 14th in the rankings (LU–B began 2015–16 exactly where it closed 2014–15) all the way up to eighth - in position to receive an invitation to the ACHA National Tournament - by the end of October.

LU–B's shutout win over the Buffaloes on third-period goals by Stivers, Dietmeier and NCAA Division III transfer Hayley Winker[10] at the end of January clinched the WWCHL regular season championship, the first conference title in program history.

The standard airtight 60 minutes between the Lynx and Gophers followed, with LU–B getting the final word in the season series and holding on late for a 3–2 victory on the strength of goals by Winker, Fuller and Nikole Day.

[13] The Lynx did manage to close out their time at the tourney on a high note, rallying from a 4–1 hole after one period to pick up a stirring 6–4 win over Michigan, the program's first ever at ACHAs.

While LU–B mostly struggled in those outings with a 1–5–2 record, the win was a huge one: a come-from-behind 4–2 result at Liberty on December 3, the Flames' first ACHA loss at their home LaHaye Ice Center since Rhode Island upended LU on November 16, 2014 (the unbeaten stretch spanned 20 games).

[17] The National Continuous Game was part of an extremely dense scheduling stretch linking the end of the regular season and the WWCHL playoffs, beginning with a three-game sweep of Colorado State from February 10 through 12th.

An 8–3–0 start (with two of the three losses to perennial contender Liberty) seemed to be a step in that direction, but an even bigger one came on November 17, 2017, when the Lynx beat two-time defending national champion Miami at Goggin Ice Center by a 3–1 score.

Michelle Coonan made 33 saves to keep the potent RedHawks at bay, while Michaela Read both opened and closed the scoring, and Kate Tihema also added a third-period marker.

Tanya Candido (who would end up transferring to Adrian after the season) scored twice on the power play in the last 12 minutes of the third period to help LU–B rally from a 3–1 deficit before Fuller won it in overtime.

[22] Entering the WWCHL playoffs as co-favorites (after the conference moved to a divisional format), the Lynx looked the part through the pool stage of the tournament, defeating Arizona State 3–0 before a 13–1 demolition of hosting Midland that saw 14 different LU–Belleville skaters collect points, including hat tricks by Millar and Kate Tihema.

[23] However, for the second straight season, the Lynx were bounced from the conference semifinals by Colorado, as Maura Kieft's second-period power play goal provided the margin in a 2–1 contest.

The disappointment continued at the ACHA National Tournament when an LU–B team that seemed ready to take another step forward instead ended up in the same place as the year before, after they were quickly swept out of the quarterfinals by Miami.

The new generation of Lynx was highlighted by an outstanding freshman class, including goalie Hannah Stone, blueliners Tessa O'Connor, Jessica Walker, and Mackenzie Drost, along with big center Dakota McAlpine.

Sophomores like Read, Marissa Delry, and Lindsay Gillis took on an increasing role, while Dietmeier, Williams, Lugar, Katie Stelling, and Jamie Riselay remained to bridge the gap between the two groups.

The deciding contest then saw GVSU rally with two third-period goals to force overtime, but Dietmeier ended things quickly in the extra period to survive the upset bid and advance to the semifinals.

[27] The semifinal round, surprisingly, would prove less stressful, as LU–B jumped out to a 4–0 lead on second-seeded Adrian into the last ten minutes of the game before the Bulldogs found the net twice in the late going, one of those coming with 30 seconds remaining.

The early part of the 2019 offseason brought the disastrous news of the cessation of Lindenwood–Belleville's athletic program due to Lindenwood's system-wide restructuring,[1] making 2019–20 the Lynx's final season.

Lindenwood–Belleville, along with five other top programs (Liberty, McKendree, Midland, Minnesota, and Minot State), formed a new ACHA conference, Women's Midwest College Hockey (WMCH).

Three LU–Belleville players have been selections for the senior national teams of their home countries during the IIHF World Women's Championships, including Michelle Coonan and Kate Tihema for Australia and Firth Bidois for New Zealand.

The victory came in dramatic fashion, as Australia dropped its opener to Mexico in a shootout, then recovered to win four straight, edging out Spain by a single point.

While that version of the team was unable to repeat 2017's podium finish, losing in overtime to Japan in the bronze medal game, Stone was one of the tournament's best goaltenders.

In April 2017, Lynx goalie Libbey Breaker competed for Team USA in the World Deaf Ice Hockey Championships (WDIHC) in Amherst, New York.

Tihema, for her part, scored twice against Great Britain (what would turn out to be the Mighty Jills' only tallies of the round robin) and was named Australia's player of the game.

Both Tihema and Coonan participated in the 2014 Challenge Cup of Asia, although the Mighty Jills struggled that time out as well, dropping three pool games and then an overtime decision to South Korea for the bronze medal.

However, things heated up quickly beginning with the 2016 WWCHL playoffs, when Elle Dice scored twice and CU blasted LU–B 7–0 in the pool round opener for their first win ever against the Lynx.

[13] On the other side, LU–B has earned two of the most important wins in program history against Liberty, including a 2–1 victory in the team's inaugural 2014–15 season that represented its first result that resonated across the ACHA.
