COLUMBUS, Ohio – Sixty minutes wasn’t enough to decide the WCHA Final Faceoff champion on Sunday afternoon as the third-ranked Ohio State women’s hockey team appeared poised to write another thrilling chapter in the story of its 2020-21 season. A goal by Wisconsin’s Lacey Eden, however, just 42 seconds into overtime lifted the second-ranked Badgers to a 3-2 victory at Ridder Arena in Minneapolis.
“We battled. There were no excuses, it’s playoff hockey,” said head coach Nadine Muzerall. “You sell out and do everything you can and need to do. We did that. We had an opportunity to get the puck out twice – it bounced over a stick and then hit off a skate badly that kept it in. It’s unfortunate but Wisconsin capitalized on that.”

MADISON, WI (WSAU) â The Badger menâs hockey team skated to a 5-5 draw with Notre Dame.
The Badger men trailed 1-0 early before Ty Pelton-Byce closed out the first period with a power play goal to send the teams to the first intermission deadlocked at 1. Cole Caufield and Roman Ahcan each found the back of the net in the second, and Wisconsin led 3-1 after two.
Both teams would then combine for six goals in the final 20 minutes including two tallies from Linus Weissbach and Pelton-Byce to help the Badgers keep pace. Pelton-Byceâs goal came with less than 30 seconds remaining to force an overtime period.
