2018, UM beats OSU and UW to win WCHAs and gets dominated by UW a week later;
2017, UMD beats UM in 2OT and loses 1-0 a week later on home ice.
Of course, there are plenty of the other examples, like 2019, UW beats UM in the WCHA final, and then does the same thing in the NCAA final two weeks later."... And lose, and start again at your beginnings

Could be a bumpy road from here on out for the "storied" programs.

We need to have stronger seasons and not lose to teams we shouldn't lose to, but I believe the traditionally strong programs of the conference will find getting past us will become harder.

I think OSU's women's program has made great strides to be able to compete with the likes of Minnesota and Wisconsin, not dominating them on the ice by any means but be capable of getting some key wins.
With a Frozen 4 and a conference title under our belts and another NCAA tournament Coach Muzzy has a good foundation to continue building on.Last edited by Hockeybuckeye; 03-10-2020, 06:52 PM.

Originally posted by Offsides Guy View PostWell, you arguably have the strongest returning squad in the conference next season so I expect next year OSU will be at least as successful as they’ve been this year. No incoming freshman are going to replace the likes of Roque, Rooney and Potomak and goaltending will very likely be down at MN and WI as well.
I hope OSU will show the customary appreciation to Coach Nadine with the proper raise and bonus for this seasons milestones. Keeping a good coach for an extended length of time here has been problematic for the stability of the program and she's a keeper!
Minnesota did an excellent job in developing her and her expertise!Last edited by Hockeybuckeye; 03-10-2020, 09:57 PM.

Originally posted by Hockeybuckeye View PostI certainly didn't mean to give the impression that OSU will be the dominate program in the WCHA, just that we've reached a level of reasonable parity in the conference and that it will be sustainable.
We need to have stronger seasons and not lose to teams we shouldn't lose to, but I believe the traditionally strong programs of the conference will find getting past us will become harder.It's a great day for hockey!
