Ohio State Women's Hockey 2025-26
- Thread starter robertearle

The Dunne's are from O'Fallon, MO (St. Louis area). We will be without Joy Dunne (USA), Mira Jungaker (Sweden), Jenna Raunio (Sweden), Hilda Svensson (Sweden), and Sanni Vanhanen (Finland). When you recruit well, as your program does, too, it's to be expected. Hopefully, we still have enough firepower and D to win some games next month. It would be nice if the NCAA could just take a break like the professionals do (PWHL and NHL), but that's probably never going to happen. Several WCHA teams will be without key players next month so we will find out how deep our teams are. We will still have some girls who can score goals, and as much as it has been tough without Emma Peschel, it was probably a blessing in disguise as she had a legit shot at making Team USA's roster before she got hurt. Hopefully we get her back soon.
Onto today's game ... the Buckeyes completed a sweep on the road at St. Cloud, winning today's game by a final score of 5-1. St. Cloud struck first on a goal from Sofianna Sundelin to make it 1-0. Ohio State was not able to answer in the initial frame, so the teams went into the first intermission with the Huskies leading 1-0. The final periods were all Ohio State as the Bucks scored three goals in the second period to take a 3-1 lead into the final intermission. The Ohio State goals were scored by Mira Jungaker, Kaia Malachino, and Maxine Cimoroni. Sloane Matthews scored for Ohio State in the third period to give the Buckeyes a 4-1 lead. Joy Dunne would add an empty-netter to make the final score 5-1. The Buckeyes outshot the Huskies 49-23 in this one. Nice to see Genny Klein get the start in net for Ohio State. Genny had a solid game, stopping 22 of the 23 shots she faced in the win. JoJo Chobak got the start in net for St. Cloud and stopped 44 of the 48 shots she faced. Ohio State will be on the road again next weekend, traveling to Mankato to take on Minnesota State. St. Cloud will travel to Duluth to take on Minnesota-Duluth.

Could have sworn I tapped the e before hitting post. Oh well.
No clue. I honestly am not sure what is going on with Jenna or Sara. Grace McCoshen was missing in tonight's game, as was our normal starting goaltender, Hailey MacLeod. We did have Emma Peschel back, so that was good, but it would sure be nice to have enough D's that we didn't have to move our best player over to D. Funny thing, the Minnesota State announcer kept commenting on how amazing it was for a D to have 20+ goals. All I could think was "Tell me you don't follow women's hockey without telling me you don't follow women's hockey." Most people are well aware that Joy Dunne has been a forward for her entire career at Ohio State except for the last couple weekends. She did score four goals tonight, so I guess it's not a bad thing. I did read that Joy did play some D growing up, so the position is not completely foreign to her.
That is a good segue to tonight's game. It was not always pretty, but the Buckeyes took game one in Mankato by a final score of 7-4. Jordyn Petrie opened the scoring to give Ohio State a 1-0 lead over the host Mavericks. Mercury Bischoff scored for Minnesota State to tie it at 1. Jocelyn Amos scored the next two goals for the Buckeyes to put them up 3-1. Ayla Puppe scored late in the first period for Minnesota State to send the two teams to the first intermission with Ohio State clinging to a 3-2 lead. Mercury Bischoff would get her second goal of the game early in the second period to tie things up at 3. Joy Dunne would score the next two goals to put Ohio State up 5-3 heading into the final intermission. Joy would then open the scoring in the third period to put Ohio State up 6-3 and give her a natural hat trick. Minnesota State's Sophie Stramel would get a goal for the Mavericks to get them within two at 6-4. Joy Dunne would add another to give Ohio State a 7-4 lead and that is how it ended. The Buckeyes outshot the Mavericks in this one 36-15. Genny Klein got the start in net for Ohio State and stopped 11 of the 15 shots she faced. Hailey Hansen got the call in net for Minnesota State and stopped 29 of the 36 shots she faced. The two teams are back at it tomorrow with game time at 4:00 pm EST.
Ohio State completed the sweep against Minnesota State earlier today by a final score of 4-1. Kassidy Carmichael opened the scoring in the first period to give the Buckeyes a 1-0 lead at the first intermission. Emma Peschel and Hilda Svensson scored for Ohio State in the second frame to put the Bucks up 3-0. Taylor Otremba would get a goal for the Mavericks to cut the lead to 3-1. Joy Dunne would score her 5th goal of the weekend to give the Buckeyes a 4-1 lead heading into the final intermission. Neither team lit the lamp in the final period, so that is how it ended. Ohio State outshot Minnesota State 35-17 in this one. Taylor Kressin got the start in net for the Buckeyes and stopped 16 of the 17 shots she faced to get the win. Hailey Hansen stopped 31 of the 35 shots she faced for the Mavericks. Minnesota State will host Minnesota-Duluth next weekend. Ohio State will return home to host St. Thomas.
