Ohio State women’s hockey will play for a national championship for the first time in program history.
The Buckeyes earned a berth in the national championship game with a 2-1 victory over No. 5 seed Yale on Friday night in the Frozen Four semifinals, marking the first time Ohio State has ever won a Women’s Frozen Four game.
After a scoreless first period, Yale scored the first goal of the night less than two minutes into the second period when Bulldogs defenseman Tabea Botthof collected a loose puck in front of the net and knocked it past Ohio State goalie Amanda Thiele.
