Box Score

Huskies fall 4-2 in series finale

COLUMBUS, Ohio. – No. 2 Ohio State scored four straight third period goals en route to a 4-2 win to earn the series sweep over No. 11 St. Cloud State Women's Hockey (4-6-0, 1-5-0 Western Collegiate Hockey Association) on Saturday afternoon at the OSU Ice Rink in Columbus, Ohio.

The Huskies jumped out to its first lead of the series halfway through the first period when freshman defender Maélie Pion (Sherbrooke, Quebec) intercepted a deflected OSU pass and scored a wrister while skating through the high slot. SCSU held its one goal lead through the second period and into the second, before extending it to 2-0 1:54 into the third period after going the length of the rink. Graduate defender Grace Wolfe (Owatonna, Minn.) passed it to junior forward Sidney Jackel (Ann Arbor, Mich.) in the neutral zone who passed it to freshman forward Julianne Labbé (Wendake, Quebec) who had just skated through the final two Buckeye defenders and beat the goaltender one-on-one.
