Buckeyes' Historic Season Ends in NCAA Semifinal Overtime

I suppose the storybook season had to come to an end sometime. The women's hockey Buckeyes were eliminated in the NCAA semifinals by defending national champ and No. 1 seed Clarkson. Ohio State fell 1-0 in overtime.

The squads dueled through two goalless periods. The back-and-forth battle brought scoring chances for both sides. Clarkson's were of a little higher quality but the Golden Knights couldn't get any of them past Kassidy Sauve.

The Buckeye goaltender was brilliant. Sauve made difficult saves look routine. She bailed the Bucks out of a bad situation late in the second period when Clarkson had them hemmed in their own end for more than two minutes.
