Ohio State Finishes Sweep of Notre Dame
Even though the Buckeyes completed a weekend sweep of Notre Dame with a 5-3 win on Saturday, Ohio State coach John Markell saw much room for improvement. “We’re not playing the defensive side of the puck in the second game,” said Markell.

Buckeyes Keep Hard-Luck Irish Reeling

Western Michigan Extends Ohio State’s Slide
It was a game that could have been an exciting, high-scoring, back-and-forth affair, but instead Western Michigan’s 3-1 win over Ohio State on Friday was a slow-moving, careful, lullaby of a game.

Cornell Edges Ohio State In ‘Weird’ Game
After the Big Red beat the Buckeyes 6-5 in overtime, Cornell head coach Mike Schafer said what everybody was thinking. “It was a really weird hockey game.” Eleven goals and a lead that changed hands more times than laundered money.
