Today's game was more competitive as I expected, but the Buckeyes were able to complete the sweep with a 4-1 win. Ohio State struck first with two goals in the opening frame from Lexi Templeman and Emily Curlett. Both of those were their first goals as Buckeyes! The teams went into the first intermission with the Buckeyes up 2-0. The Tommies got a goal from Abby Promersberger early in the second period to cut into Ohio State's lead, but the Buckeyes answered less than a minute later to regain their 2-goal advantage at 3-1. Later in the period, Gabby Rosenthal scored a shorthanded goal to give Ohio State a 4-1 lead. Neither team was able to light the lamp in the third period and that is how it ended. Ohio State outshot St. Thomas by a wide margin for the second night in a row, 52-15. Tommies netminder Alexa Dobchuk stopped 48 of the 52 shots she faced. Amanda Thiele got the start for Ohio State and stopped 14 of the 15 shots she faced. The Buckeyes will travel to Minneapolis next weekend to take on the Gophers. St. Thomas will return home and take on Bemidji State next weekend.
