After a well-fought first stanza with seven shots on goal between the two teams, the game was scoreless.
UW’s Meghan Hunter scored her 13th goal of the season and the first of the game at 2:22 in the second period. The assist went to Stephanie Millar. Despite outshooting the Badgers in the second period, the Buckeyes were unable to put a point on the board.
At 16:07 in the second period, Badger Sis Paulsen capitalized on a deflection off OSU defender Lindsey Steblen’s (So., Clayton, N.Y./Immaculate Heart Central) stick. Kerry Weiland earned an assist on the power-play goal.
For the eighth-consecutive game, OSU outshot its opponent. OSU outshot UW, 22-20. April Stojak (So., Kent, Ohio/Shattuck-St. Mary’s) played 58:43 and stopped 18 Badger shots. UW goalie Jackie MacMillan tallied 22 saves for the win.
OSU went 0-for-4 on the power play, while UW converted 1-of-4 opportunities.
“I thought we played very well,” Jackie Barto, OSU head coach said. “The game was up and down, it was an exciting and well-played hockey game. We’re both aggressive teams. [Meghan] Hunter scored a beautiful goal, but we had our chances. The game could have gone either way. If you paid your admission tonight, you got your money’s worth.”
The Buckeyes return to action Saturday night for the series finale. OSU will face off against UW at 7:05 p.m. at the OSU Ice Arena.
