Ohio State Women's Hockey 2025-26

The scoring spread was impressive, I must say. I keep hoping for a drop-off, but it looks like it's not happening.

Having now seen them in person at tonight's home opener, our first-years are amazing. Coach has had some great recruiting classes, but this one might be her best recruiting class ever here at tOSU.

Ohio State scored three goals in the first five minutes of tonight's game against the Bemidji State Beavers and never looked back. Scoring early for the Bucks were Sanni Vanhanen, Jocelyn Amos, and Sloane Matthews. Jocelyn Amos would get her second goal of the night later in the first period to send the home team into the first intermission with a 4-0 lead. Ohio State would get goals from Jordyn Petrie and Sara Swiderski to give the Buckeyes a 6-0 lead heading into the final intermission. Neither team found the back of the net in the final frame. Ohio State was dominant in the D-zone, holding the Beavers to 9 shots on goal for the game. The Buckeyes had 42 shots on goal. Buckeye backstop Hailey MacLeod stopped all nine shots she faced to get the win. Kaitlin Groess and Ava Hills combined to stop 36 of the 42 shots they faced for Bemidji. One other thing of note, the Buckeyes were without Joy Dunne and Emma Peschel in this one as they just returned from Team USA camp earlier tonight. The two teams will be back at it tomorrow with game time at 3:00 pm EST.

Buckeye Women Were Great; Fan Forum Not So Much​

Chrissie Hynde wasn't Pretending. OK, My City of Columbus isn't "gone." But two full seasons of Buckeye Women's Hockey Posts Are Gone. No '24 Title; No '25 Run. Ay, Oh, Way To Go Ohio.

I know this old news. Took a normal Summer Break. Learned of this development about a month ago. Had intended to resume posting. Instead, I've been gone from the Forum until now. Just very discouraged.

Don't get me wrong. I'm all for civility in posting. And I was, in fact, getting pretty disgusted with how low the posts on USCHO were sinking. So I suppose something had to be done. But everyone's guilty, meat-axe everyone?

I do realize that USCHO never intended to permanently archive posts. After a period of years pass, you anticipate that your posts will be deleted. If you have some favorite posts, print hard copies for yourself. All understood. But you should be able to revisit posts from recent seasons. With that material now vaporized, I'm left with a strong feeling of "Why Bother."

For now, my only positive answer is the players and coaches have been so great, they deserve whatever small kudos I can give them. So I carry on.

Three Stars of the Game:
Opinions? Yes.
Fun? Not So Much.​

Bemidji Honorable Mention: Senja Leeper
Strong, determined play by the Freshman from Chaska, MN. The Buckeyes never scored when Senja was on the ice.

Ohio State Honorable Mention: Hilda Svennson
Hilda's 9 Shots on Goal led all players.


#3 Star: (tie) Maxine Cimorani, Ohio State; Brooke Disher, Ohio State; and Sanni VanHanen, Ohio State
All were +3 for the game; the top +/- number posted Friday.

#2 Star: (tie) Sara Swiderski, Ohio State; and Mira Jungaker, Ohio State
The Dazzling 'D' Pair Delivered the best goal of the evening. Fine passing ultimately led to the successful Swiderski shot.

#1 Star: Jocelyn Amos
The four goal first period went a long way toward winning the game for OSU. Jocelyn bagged two of those goals, including the breakaway off a Bemidji turnover.


Next Stargazing: 3:00 PM Saturday for the Rematch.

Good story in The Lantern on the girls.

From Runner-Up to Resolute: Women’s Hockey Reloads

The scoreboard read 18.9 seconds, and the Buckeyes could practically feel the championship trophy in their hands. Moments later, Wisconsin lined up for a penalty shot, and the rest became history. The Ohio State women’s hockey team ended up losing the game and the national championship title in...

I'm all for civility in posting.

I'm sorry for your lost posts; I can imagine that you put a lot of time and effort into them. And not only your more formal write-ups, but the other posts around seasons to remember. IMO, the takeaway for all of us is to do better moving forward. None of us can control how other posters are going to behave and what lines they may cross. When things went up in smoke during the offseason, I thought of you and osualum86, and thought that you long-time fans and posters deserved better than some were treating the Buckeyes. Just because sins have been committed that shouldn't mean everyone should quit trying to be considerate. Post for the best example of your rivals, not the poorest.

It would be greatly appreciated if those who are not Ohio State fans to not come here and bring up the same subjects that made our original thread so toxic that the moderators felt compelled to delete the whole thing.

Got the sweep which is the best way to start conference play. Today we had 52 SOG and only scored twice but it was enough to secure the win. We had 95 total shots to Bemidji's 17

The Buckeyes held off a game Bemidji squad today by a final score of 2-1 to get the sweep. The Beavers took a 1-0 lead on a power play goal from Hailey Armstrong. Later in the period, Emma Peschel got the equalizer for Ohio State and the teams went into the first intermission tied at 1. Ohio State would take the lead on a goal from Hilda Svensson to take a 2-1 lead into the final intermission. Neither team could find the back of the net in the third period. The Buckeyes outshot the Beavers 52-10 in this one but could only manage two goals against Bemidji backstop Ava Hills, who stopped 50 of the 52 shots she faced in this one. Ohio State netminder Hailey MacLeod stopped 9 of the 10 shots she faced to get the win. Things will get much tougher for the Buckeyes as they travel to Minneapolis next weekend to take on the Gophers. The Beavers will travel to Mankato on 10/31-11/1 to take on Minnesota State.

Ps. Anyone know why Coach Muzerall was not at today's game? We're not the same team when she is not there.
