Wrapping up another busy week in Buckeye athletics …
For the fourth time in school history and all under the direction of coach Nadine Muzerall, our women’s hockey team is heading to the Frozen Four. The Buckeyes begin defense of their 2022 National Championship Friday in Duluth against Northeastern.
A fine, 25-7 season for our women’s basketball team has earned it a No. 3 seed and the opportunity to host games this weekend at Value City Arena. The team will play James Madison at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
