Buckeyes, Bulldogs Set for Ranked Hockey Series
No. 11 Minnesota Duluth visits unanimous No. 1 Ohio State for a women’s hockey series in Columbus while missing four players who are representing their countries at the 2026 IIHF Women’s World Championship. The absences leave UMD with just 16 skaters, but coach Laura Schuler said younger players are eager for the added ice time. The Bulldogs are coming off two narrow losses to No. 2 Minnesota, while Ohio State enters at 11-1 overall and atop the WCHA after sweeping Bemidji State. The teams are scheduled to play Friday and Saturday at the OSU Ice Rink.
