The 2020-21 freshmen still have a "COVID year" available to them in 2024-25. So we're not quite there yet.

Talk about karma. Losing to the Badgers last year 1-0 and beating them this year 1-0

Didn't have a horse in the race. So I got to just enjoy good women's hockey. I expected a high scoring shootout, but instead got to enjoy great defensive performances. Thanks to both teams for an exciting well-played game.
I usually ignore trolls, but funny, they were all wearing Ohio State sweaters and looked like Buckeyes to me. Also talked to some parents this weekend and found out OSU wasn't the only WCHA school that was trying to get these players. Seems like a bunch of sour grapes that they picked OSU instead of the others.
Lindsay, thank you! Always nice to see classy posts over here from other fans, rather than the incessant whining/trolling because our coach knows how to work the transfer portal and outworks the other coaches when it comes to that.
Well, there was a game played earlier today. Woody Hayes always said "Anything easy ain't worth a damn." This was a hard-fought game that for a while, looked like it would require extra time, or as us fans like to call it, "bonus hockey." Enter first-year Buckeye forward Joy Dunne. Joy took a feed from Hannah Bilka (Cayla Barnes also got an assist on the play) and sent a rocket up and over Wisconsin goaltender Ava McNaughton's right shoulder for the game-winner with 7:12 left in the third period. Buckeye netminder Raygan Kirk and her teammates made it stand and completed the shutout to win the 2024 National Title. The Buckeyes outshot Wisconsin 28-26 in this one. Raygan Kirk stopped all 26 shots she faced and was named the Frozen Four MOP. Ava McNaughton stopped 27 of the 28 shots she faced for the Badgers. The all tournament team was as follows.
F Kirsten Simms Wisconsin
F Makenna Webster Ohio State
F Joy Dunne Ohio State
D Cayla Barnes Ohio State
D Caroline Harvey Wisconsin
G Raygan Kirk Ohio State
Wisconsin finishes their season 35-6, the Buckeyes finished 35-4. Now begins the long offseason, but it's not so bad when your team is the one that won the last game of the season.

Pretty sure upon close examination that there was a significant deflection on Dunne's shot by Badger backchecker- Wheeler I believe. Looks like McNaughton would have been all over the initial trajectory of the shot had that deflection not occured. Either way- tough bounces can go either way and that's usually how these games tend to go.

Hopefully everyone made it home safely from a fabulous weekend. Shelton and I made it back to Columbus, home of the 2024 Women’s Ice Hockey National Champions, around 6 pm. It was good seeing everyone one. Meeting lots of new folks.

The Blue Jackets have posted a video on FB crediting coach Muzerall of creating a dynasty of woman's hockey at Ohio State.

Let's hold off on the word "dynasty." We all know what happened to another in-state hockey program that began throwing that word around too loosely.

#10 There's Got To Be A Morning After
It's long drive from Durham, NH to Columbus, OH. It's even further to Madison, WI. But I'll leave the Badger experience for others to describe.
The need to celebrate extended my Sunday evening. But eventually I did start the trip back, making it as far as Hartford, CT. Waking up Monday morning, I was still experiencing the warm afterglow of the title win.
Didn't take time at that point to start the Memories List. But I couldn't resist a quick check of the USCHO Women's Hockey Home Page, along with putting up a short post. In that quick check, I found Nicole Haase's Feature Article. In the short post, I highly recommended it.

Nicole interviewed all the right people and got all the right quotes. Not only was it professionally written, it truly captured the essence of the event. In a word, the article was authentic.
Haase's Badger Heritage must have made the job a little more challenging. But she was more than up to the task.
On the previous evening's drive, I had decided that "Redemption" would be one of the themes of my List. Nicole beat me to the punch, but I don't mind a bit. Hope my comments on Redemption resonate when I get to that. But just remember, Haase said it first!
Breakfast with USCHO? Complete. SW CT awaited. And the Hudson River. Next, crossing the Delaware. And then the LONG drive across PA. But my batteries were recharged, thanks to the great article.
Yes, there was a morning after. It was good.

I'm not worried that things will drop off. As long as Nadine Muzerall remains our coach I stand by she has indeed created a dynasty here that will continue.
