Ohio State women's hockey advances to Frozen Four national title game
The Ohio State women's ice hockey team will be playing in its fourth-straight Frozen Four National Championship Game after disposing of Cornell by a 4-2 margin inside the OSU Hockey Rink on Friday night. If the Buckeyes can pull it off, it'll be their third national title in four years.
To get there though, OSU had to rebound from a comeback rally by Cornell. The Buckeyes went up early by a score of 2-0 because of goals by Makenna Webster at the 2:24 mark and Brooke Disher with 13:23 remaining in the first period. Ohio State took that lead into the first intermission, but the second period belonged to the Big Red. Cornell got on the board with a power play goal with 6:46 remaining in the period followed by another mark just over a minute later to tie things up at 2 goals each. Suddenly, it was game on.
But champions find a way to get it done and Ohio State picked itself back up off the ice and scored the final two tallies of the game.
Joy Dunne scored the go-ahead goal, the one that would eventually go down as the game-winner with 16:23 left in the game. For good measure, Dunne added another with 12:38 left, and the Buckeyes' defense and goaltending held on from there to polish off the win and head into the Women's Frozen Four title game in Minneapolis at 4 p.m. ET Sunday. OSU will play the winner of Wisconsin and Minnesota. If the Badgers win, it will be an all WCHA final.
