Photos of Ohio State women’s ice hockey’s national title win

Enjoy the reflection. #GoBucks

In case you missed it, the Ohio State women’s ice hockey team beat the Wisconsin Badgers on Sunday to win the program’s second title in three years. 

It was a nip and tuck affair, with one lone goal meaning the difference between winning and losing for the Buckeyes with a 1-0 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers and further cemented OSU as the nation’s top women’s ice hockey program at the moment.

The win set off quite the celebration on the ice and the game made for some pretty amazing high-resolution photos that we’re sharing with you. Check out some of the best pictures from Ohio State’s national-title winning performance vs. Wisconsin in the Frozen Four over the weekend and reminisce being on top of the college hockey universe.

 

Ohio State women’s ice hockey to take part in fourth-straight Frozen Four Friday

Another shot at a title for the women’s ice hockey program. #GoBucks

It’s easy to get spoiled with the recent run of the Ohio State women’s ice hockey team, but it’s the last thing anyone on the team should be thinking about after the Buckeyes secured their fourth-straight trip to the Frozen Four with a decisive 9-0 win over Minnesota-Duluth over the weekend.

The Buckeyes will now travel to Durham, New Hampshire, on Friday to begin its quest for a second national title in three years as the No. 1 overall seed with a 33-4 record. OSU will face No. 4 seed Clarkson Friday at 4 p.m. ET and then will take on the winner of No. 2 seed Wisconsin vs. No. 3 seed Colgate if it gets into its third-straight national championship game. The Badgers beat the Buckeyes in last season’s national title matchup.

The national championship game is set for 4 p.m. ET in Durham, New Hampshire, as well on Sunday, March 24.

Head coach Nadine Muzerall has turned the OSU women’s ice hockey team into the best program in the country and we should all continue to take notice and root the ladies on towards a potential national championship.

Ohio State women’s hockey loses national championship game to Wisconsin

Still a good season and one to remember! #GoBucks

Despite a memorable season and a rather easy path into the NCAA Women’ss Hockey Frozen Four, it wasn’t meant to be for the Ohio State women’s hockey team. The Buckeyes fought hard but fell to the Wisconsin Badgers 1-0 in the national title game on Sunday afternoon in Duluth, Minnesota.

The type of game that unfolded wasn’t what one would expect from two high-scoring teams, but Wisconsin used a defensive approach that frustrated Ohio State and didn’t lead to many high-quality scoring chances for the Buckeyes. It was a stark contrast to OSU’s semifinal matchup win against Northeastern when the Buckeyes seemed to camp out in their own offensive end.

For Wisconsin, the chances didn’t come too often either, but the Badgers were able to make good on a quality shot by Kirsten Simms in the slot at 13:28 of the first period to set the tone.

And that would be all of the scoring in the entire game. Ohio State outshot Wisconsin 31-22 for the contest, but couldn’t generate much in sustained offense because of an inability to carry the puck through the neutral zone. Many of the shots were from a distance away from the net or with significant resistance from the Badgers.

Despite the loss, Ohio State still has plenty to be proud of. It was the program’s third-straight trip to the Frozen Four and a season in which the Buckeyes were ranked No. 1 for most of the season. There’s also a first-ever regular-season WCHA championship to remember.

Now, with a veteran nucleus of players moving on from the program, it’ll be interesting to see how OSU turns the page into the future.

Ohio State women’s hockey advances to Frozen Four national championship game

Moving on for a shot at back-to-back national titles! #GoBucks

The Ohio State women’s hockey team will get a chance to defend its national championship thanks to a win over 3-0 win over Northeastern in a Frozen Four semifinal Friday.

The Buckeyes drew first blood just 1:56 into the contest when Sloan Matthews stuffed in a rebound out in front of the goal. Just like that, Ohio State quickly had the advantage in an all-important first goal with massive stakes on the line.

Neither team was able to get one into the back of the net the rest of the first period, but OSU struck again in the second with Makenna Webster’s one-timer from the slot to make it 2-0.

Hardley Hartmetz made it 3-0 late in the second period with a screened slapper from inside the blue line, and all of a sudden the Buckeyes could begin to feel what was coming. The last period was about shutting things down and making the Huskies work for contested shots, and OSU held on without giving up a goal to move on to the national championship game on Sunday.

Ohio State will play at 4 p.m. Sunday against the winner of Minnesota and Wisconsin with a shot at a back-to-back national championship.

Ohio State women’s ice hockey team advances to Frozen Four

In case you missed it, the OSU women’s ice hockey squad is on to the Frozen Four! #GoBucks

The Ohio State women’s ice hockey team is on schedule to defend its national championship from a year ago after beating Quinnipiac 5-2 in a first-round NCAA Tournament matchup on Saturday for a spot in the women’s Frozen Four.

The Buckeyes join Northeastern, Wisconsin, and Minnesota in Duluth, Minnesota, and will be making their third-straight appearance in the Frozen Four. The way Ohio State did it on Saturday took a little bit but ended up much more decisive than previous runs.

Quinnipiac got on the board first just before the first period ended and took a 1-0 lead into the second stanza. OSU would bring things even though on the power play halfway through the second period on a goal by Gabby Rosenthal. That was followed up quickly thereafter by another goal at 16:00 by Lauren Bernard to give Ohio State a 2-1 advantage entering the third period.

From there, the floodgates opened a bit with the Buckeyes scoring three more goals en route to a comfortable 5-2 win.

OSU will now face Northeastern in the first game of a single-elimination, four-team format. The game against the Huskies is set for 3:30 p.m. on Friday. A win would advance Ohio State to the national championship game against the winner of Wisconsin vs. Minnesota next Sunday, March 19, at 4 p.m. ET.
