Just needed a little challenge.

Beat Minnesota on Friday night and tied last night (shoot out win).

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

Back up to #2. Wiscy is 1, and Minny drops to 4. As usual, the conference and national titles will be a battle between those three with everyone else playing for 4th place.

Saturday will be interesting. Badgers killed the Buckeyes 6-0 in Madison last night. They're starting to look the way Ohio State looked last year as the hands down best team in women's hockey with everyone (meaning Ohio State and Minnesota) fighting for second place.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Up 3-2 and headed to the power play with 16+ minutes left in the 3rd.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Damn, Bucks fail on 3 power plays including two off the crossbar and Bucky ties it up with 6 minutes left.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Bucks win in the shootout!

 

[BB73]

1-0 in the 7th round of the shootout! Jenna Buglioni scored. Nice to score in the bottom frame of the shootout, instant celebration. Amanda Thiele stopped all 7 attempts in the shootout.

Go Bucks!

Two games on the Frozen Confines in 2 days, 2 satisfying Buckeye wins!

Post-game quote from Coach Nadine Muzerall:

”We played with the relentless pursuit that we have, and we did it as a unified front. There was no way we were gonna walk away from here with a loss. We were adamant to make sure that we held the elite status that the Buckeyes expect from their athletics”.

Nice.
