Closing out Ohio State’s women’s hockey season with some fun numbers

Even though the Buckeyes lost in overtime to Wisconsin on Sunday afternoon, they still had an amazing season that deserves to be recognized.
Ohio State’s women’s hockey team put forth a valiant effort on Sunday in Minneapolis, but they ended up falling short of their second straight national championship, losing to Wisconsin 4-3 in overtime.
Despite the loss, it was still an amazing season for the Buckeyes. There is no question head coach Nadine Muzerall is one of the brightest hockey minds in the country, as evidenced by how she has turned the Ohio State women’s hockey program into one of the best in the country in her nine seasons in charge in Columbus.
I thought as a way to put a bow on the women’s hockey team’s season, we’d look at some interesting numbers related to the Buckeyes. When looking at these numbers, it only amplifies just how good the team has been.
Despite not winning on Sunday, Ohio State still gets stick taps for winning two national championships over the past five years.
The Buckeyes and Badgers are in a class by themselves. The two programs have met in each of the last three national title games, with Wisconsin winning two of those battles.
The differences in each of those matchups have been razor thin, with each of those three games being decided by a goal. The 2023 and 2024 games were each 1-0 battles, while this year’s game went into overtime.
Each year it seems like the games between the two teams are ramped up, and this year is no different. Ohio State handed Wisconsin their only regulation loss during the season, beating the Badgers in Columbus. Then they played a classic outdoors at Wrigley Field in early January, with the Buckeyes eventually winning in a shootout.
Unfortunately for Ohio State fans, Wisconsin can now claim two national championship wins in the last three title games.
Maybe this will end up being like the Warriors and Cavaliers in the NBA Finals when they met in four straight years, although Buckeye Nation won’t be as happy as Cleveland fans were with one championship.
Leading the charge for Ohio State this year was Joy Dunne, who recorded 62 points, setting a program record for points in a season. Dunne became the first Buckeye to hit the 60-point mark in a season.
The forward from Missouri got even better late in the season, scoring at least one goal in each of Ohio State’s last 10 games. The efforts by Dunne were recognized nationally, as she was named a Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award Top 10 Finalist.

What’s scary is Dunne is already this good and she is only wrapping up her sophomore season. It helps that Dunne has her sisters to lean on when it comes to life at Ohio State and what Coach Muzerall expects, since both Jessica and Jincy are both Buckeye alums.
There’s no doubt Dunne is already going to be one of the best returning players in the country next season, and will be leading an Ohio State team that will be hungry for another title.
If you watched any of the national title game, you could see that the Buckeyes were more than willing to put their body on the line if it resulted in the team bringing home a championship. Emma Peschel recorded the most blocked shots on the team this year, stepping in front of 42 shots throughout the season. Peschel’s all-around play was recognized nationally, as she was named a CCM/ACHA Second Team All-American.
Peschel was on Ohio State’s top defensive pair, doing her part to help the Buckeyes allow just over two goals per game. Had it not been for the penalty shot that Wisconsin was awarded with just under 30 seconds left which allowed them to tie the score, Peschel’s slap shot goal 10 seconds into the second period would have been the game-winner.
Expect an even bigger season out of Peschel next year for the Buckeyes since she is just finishing up her junior season.
Whenever Ohio State needed a big faceoff win they called on Jocelyn Amos, who finished the year with 516 wins on the dot. Amos was just one of three players in the country to record at least 500 faceoff wins during the season. By winning two-thirds of her faceoffs, it was tough for opponents to get the best of the Buckeye center.

Much like Joy Dunne, Amos is just finishing up her sophomore season in Columbus. The Ontario native finished with 27 goals this season, two goals shy of Dunne’s team lead. Amos had two games where she recorded hat tricks this season, and she actually had a four-goal game against Bemidji State in January.
Along with her goals, Amos added 25 assists to total 52 points. This season the combination of Dunne and Amos almost led the Buckeyes to a title, so they’ll have some unfinished business to take care of in the 2025-26 season.
One position Ohio State will have to fill next year is goaltender. Senior netminder Amanda Thiele finishes her Buckeye career with a school record 74 career wins, obliterating the previous program record of 57 wins. Thiele also recorded 20 wins this year, marking the second time she has had 20 wins in a season.
The 2025-26 season is going to have a different feel since Thiele became a fixture between the pipes for the Buckeyes. Even though there were some goalies in college hockey who put up better goals against average numbers and save percentages, it was hard to top Thiele when it came to playing at a high level in big games.
Imagine what Nadine Muzerall’s record would be if she didn’t have to square off against Wisconsin in the NCAA Tournament. Of Muzerall’s four losses in the NCAA Tournament as head coach of the Buckeyes, three of them have come to Wisconsin.
In her ninth year in charge of the program in Columbus, Muzerall has posted a 225-81-22 record. Despite the Badgers being the clear top team in the country this year, Muzerall had her team ready to play on Sunday, and they were just 30 seconds and a questionable call away from winning their second consecutive national championship.
Seeing how Muzerall has turned Ohio State into one of the premier women’s hockey programs in the country is exactly why the athletic department made the smart decision back in May to ink the head coach to a contract extension that will keep her in Columbus through the 2028-29 season.
Despite Ryan Day leading the football team to a national title this year, it’s hard to argue that there isn’t a better coach at Ohio State right now than Muzerall.

Back in the day, used a cheap brandy to deglaze (all I could afford). Gave chicken a different depth of taste. I deglazed my mouth as I cooked with a Sauvignon Blanc.....
