The Ohio State women’s hockey team is two wins away from defending their national title. On Friday, the Buckeyes will take on Northeastern in St. Paul. This is Ohio State’s second-straight Frozen Four appearance, and fourth in program history. Minnesota and Wisconsin join Ohio State and Northeastern in this year’s Frozen Four, with the winners of the semifinals squaring off for the title on Sunday.
To advance to the Frozen Four, Ohio State beat Quinnipiac 5-2 in Columbus. After five of the first six meetings between the schools were decided by a goal, it felt like another tight matchup was in the cards.
