Buckeyes in a Nutshell

Friday's game is the Buckeyes' first on home ice in 54 days. The last time the team played at home, it earned a split against No. 1 Wisconsin. Ohio State enters the weekend following a road series against the Badgers in which the team fell 6-0 in Madison but responded with a shootout victory outdoors at Wrigley Field.
The Buckeyes are 5-3-1 this season at home with ranked wins over No. 1 Wisconsin, No. 2 Minnesota and No. 6 Cornell.
Joy Dunne leads the Buckeyes with 26 points (13G, 13A) on the year. She is in the top 10 nationally in goals per game (.62) and top 20 in points per game (1.24).
Emma Peschel joins Dunne, Jenna Buglioni (24) and Jocelyn Amos (23) with 20 points this season. Her 16 assists lead the Buckeyes and tie her career high for assists in a season.
Jordyn Petrie scored the team's first goal of the season just 1:39 into the game and recorded the team's first tally of 2025, scoring only 49 seconds into last Saturday's game against Wisconsin. The rookie has scored four of her 10 goals on the year in the first five minutes of the game with a goal 4:08 into the 1-1 shootout win against Minnesota (Oct. 12) and another goal 2:38 into the 5-1 win at St. Cloud State (Oct. 18).
Ohio State is tied for first in the country with four shorthanded goals on the year. Buglioni is tied for first nationally with two shorthanded goals this season. With five shorthanded goals for her career, the Buckeye captain is one shy of tying the program record of six.
