Box Score

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The No. 2 Ohio State women's hockey team earned a 2-1 overtime win over St. Thomas Friday night at the OSU Ice Rink. Junior forward Jocelyn Amos tallied the game-tying and game-winning goal to help the Buckeyes (22-3-0, 16-3-0 WCHA) earn two conference points against the Tommies (10-15-0, 5-14-0 WCHA).

How it Happened

Both teams were scoreless after the first period Friday night in Columbus. The Buckeyes dominated puck possession in the opening frame and outshot the Tommies 12-3 in the first 20 minutes of play.
A game misconduct and five-minute major penalty for head contact was called on Mira Jungåker with 2:29 on the clock in the first. Ohio State killed off the penalty and held St. Thomas without a shot on the five-minute player advantage, returning to full strength with 17:29 to play in the second period.
St. Thomas scored the first goal of the game at 11:11 in the second period to take the 1-0 lead. Ohio State continued to pressure Tommie goaltender Julia Minotti, but she stopped all 16 Buckeye shots in the frame.
Jocelyn Amos put Ohio State on the board at 7:58 in the third period, knocking a rebounded shot from Hilda Svensson into the St. Thomas net.
The game went to overtime tied 1-1 at the end of regulation and Amos, Dunne and Matthews started the 3-on-3 extra period for the Buckeyes.
The trio needed just one possession to win the game. Dunne fed the puck to Amos in front of the Tommies goal and Amos skated around Minotti for the wide-open goal, lighting the lamp 38 seconds into overtime.
