Buckeyes in a Nutshell

Both Ohio State and Wisconsin enter the match up coming off a bye week. Prior to the break, Ohio State won twice at St. Thomas, earning a 5-1 victory and 1-0 overtime win over the Tommies in Mendota Heights, Minn.
Jocelyn Amos, Jenna Buglioni and Joy Dunne lead the Buckeyes with 11 goals on the year. The trio is tied for second nationally in the category.
Buglioni's 22 points pace the team. She hit the 20-point mark 14 games into the season with a three-point performance in the game one win at St. Thomas (Nov. 1).
Dunne and Buglioni are on team-high seven-game point streaks. Buglioni has tallied a goal in six of the last seven games. The players are two of seven players across Division I with 20-plus points this season.
Emma Peschel leads the team with a +20 on the year. The mark is good for fifth in the country. The Edina, Minn. native helps lead the Buckeye blueline that's held opponents to under two goals and 20 shots per game.
Ohio State leads the country with three shorthanded goals. Buglioni has scored two to tie for first nationally. The Port Moody, B.C. native has five shorthanded goals for her career, one shy of the program record.
On the faceoff, Buglioni and Amos rank top two in the country in wins with 201 and 197, respectively. Amos leads the Buckeyes with a .741 win percentage at the dot.
During the bye week, Dunne was one of 10 collegiate players who took the ice for Team USA in the November Rivalry Series games. She played in two games last weekend and recorded an assist in the United States' 7-2 win over Canada in game one.
