STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – The Ohio State field hockey team managed to end its regular season on a high note Saturday thanks to Sarah Charley, who scored in overtime to lift the Buckeyes to a 3-2 win over No. 15 Penn State. The Buckeyes are 5-8 and will now turn their attention to the Big Ten Tournament, which begins on Wednesday vs. a familiar foe: Penn State. The Buckeyes and Nittany Lions (7-6) square off in a quarterfinal game on April 21 at 5 p.m. in Iowa City, Iowa.
The Buckeyes picked up Saturday’s hard-fought win thanks to pair of first-half goals from Mckenzie Allessie – both on penalty strokes – and then the game-winner early in the overtime period by Charley. Allessie now has 11 goals and three assists for 25 points in her last seven games. Charley’s goal was her third of the season and gives her nine points (three goals, three assists).
