COLUMBUS, Ohio – For the seventh time this season, Ohio State’s Sophie Jaques has earned the WCHA’s Defender of the Week award.
Jaques tallied five points for the Buckeyes last week. In the first game of the series against Bemidji State, she led the team with two points on two assists. The senior added three points in Ohio State’s 8-1 win over the Beavers on Saturday on a goal and two helpers. In the Buckeyes’ game at St. Cloud State, she tallied three blocked shots.
A civil engineering major from Toronto, Ont., Jaques became the 14th Buckeye to record 100 career points and just the third Ohio State defenseman to hit the milestone last weekend. She owns the program record for season points by a defenseman with 52 points on the year.
Ohio State concludes the regular-season schedule at home this weekend against Wisconsin. The Buckeyes and Badgers meet at 6 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. Saturday. Admission to Ohio State women’s hockey games is free.
