COLUMBUS, Ohio – Six different Buckeyes tallied a goal as the No. 1/2 Ohio State women’s hockey team earned a 6-1 win over St. Thomas Friday night at the OSU Ice Rink. The Buckeyes (26-3-2, 21-3-1 WCHA) had 11 players record a point and held the Tommies (8-22-1, 3-21-1 WCHA) to just 15 shots on goal in the victory.
How it Happened
- The Buckeyes were quick to take the lead, scoring just 35 seconds into the game. On Ohio State’s first possession in the St. Thomas zone of the day, Makenna Webster collected a pass from Jenna Buglioni in the slot and finished stick-side high on the Tommies’ Saskia Maurer. Emma Maltais earned the second assist on the goal.
- Not even 10 seconds into the Buckeyes’ first penalty kill of the day, Maltais skated the puck from the Ohio State zone all the way to the Tommies’ goal. Her initial shot was saved by Maurer, but the Burlington, Ont. native immediately knocked the rebound into the back of the net to put Ohio State up, 2-0, at 4:49.
- Thomas added a goal with just under 3:00 to play in the first period, making it a 2-1 Buckeye lead at the first intermission.
- Ohio State went on to score four unanswered goals, two in each the second and third periods.
- Paetyn Levis tallied her team-high 20th goal of the season with a goal at 1:41 into the second frame. Ohio State regained the puck at center ice, with Webster sending it to Levis, who carried it into the St. Thomas zone. The Rogers, Minn. native took it to the goal herself, finishing top-right on Maurer.
- Gabby Rosenthal added her third goal in as many games by doing what she does best – scoring on rebounded shots in the goalie crease. Rosenthal’s goal came at 15:10 in the second period with assists going to Lauren Bernard and Buglioni.
- The third period scoresheet belonged to the Buckeye freshmen. Freshman forward Emerson Jarvis tallied her first career goal on home ice, scoring at 10:33 in the third frame. Freshman defenseman Emma Peschel recorded the Buckeyes’ final goal of the game with 1:19 left to play and fellow freshman Sloane Matthews added an assist. Brook Bink, Maltais and Ramsey Parent earned assists on the goals.
