Ohio State women’s hockey advances to the Frozen Four for the third year in a row after beating Quinnipiac, 5-2, in the NCAA quarterfinals.
For the second year in a row, the Buckeyes clinched a Frozen Four berth by winning a quarterfinal game against Quinnipiac at the OSU Ice Rink, where they hosted the Bobcats on Saturday as the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, just as Ohio State was last year when it went on to win the national championship.
Ohio State goalie Amanda Thiele made 11 saves in the first period of play, but Quinnipiac’s Logan Angers stopped all 10 of Ohio State’s first-period shots on goal, including a pair of breakaway shots by Emma Maltais and Paetyn Levis that looked like prime opportunities for the Buckeyes to get on the board.
Ohio State dominated the action throughout the second period, outshooting Quinnipiac 24-3 in the middle 20 minutes. Emma Peschel added to the Buckeyes’ lead just over eight minutes into the third period when she fired a shot past Angers into the left side of the net to give Ohio State a two-goal advantage with less than 12 minutes to play. Maltais and Levis were both credited with assists on the goal.
