The University of Wisconsin women’s hockey ream fell to the Ohio State Buckeyes Sunday in a closely contested affair.
“It’s going to come down to one play,” Badgers head coach Mark Johnson said after the game. “They made the play. They win the game. And it hurts.”
That play came with 7 minutes and 12 seconds remaining in the final period, as freshmen Joy Dunne fired a shot from the right circle past Badgers’ goaltender Ava McNaughton to take the lead. This would prove to be the lone goal in the matchup, propelling the Buckeyes to their second NCAA Championship in three years.
