OXFORD, Ohio<\/strong> —\u00a0No. 11 Miami topped No. 17 Ohio State 2-1 on Saturday. The win marks three straight for Miami and finishes off a sweep during the home-and-home against the Buckeyes.<\/p>\n

Ohio State played a strong first period and finished the frame up 1-0. The Buckeyes’ lone goal came from the stick of Anthony Greco on a rebound given up during a five-minute power play.<\/p>\n

Buckeyes captain Tanner Fritz said he felt good headed into the second.<\/p>\n

“Our first period was really good,” Fritz said. “I thought we had a lot of jump and we had a lot of chances; 10 or 11 shots in the first, but after that we couldn’t generate much.”<\/p>\n

The next two periods were all Miami. The RedHawks outshot the Buckeyes, 62-20, including a 25-shot second period. Miami freshman defenseman Louie Belpedio opened the scoring for the RedHawks with a shot from the point and traffic in the slot past OSU goaltender Christian Frey, who said Miami was big in front of the net.<\/p>\n

“They had a lot of traffic in front,” Frey said. “On the first goal, I didn’t even see the puck.”<\/p>\n

“Their goalie played really really well,” Wideman said. “Obviously, 60 saves so he was doing something right. […] Not every game is the goalie going to play like that.”<\/p>\n

Wideman had the game-winning goal in the second period on a rebound, which he took behind the net for a wraparound, beating Frey to the far post. He finished the weekend with two goals and one assist.<\/p>\n

Ohio State coach Steve Rohlik said a goaltender like Frey is the best defense when you give up 62 shots.<\/p>\n

“One, put a goalie in like Frey and let him make the saves,” Rohlik said. “Secondly, you have to try to take time and space away. They have a lot of skill and once they got going they had confidence.”<\/p>\n

Despite the one-sided shot count, the game ended with Ohio State within one.<\/p>\n

Miami coach Rico Blasi admitted the game was still close.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, their goaltender played extremely well,” Blasi said. “We did a lot of good things tonight, but it was exciting there at the end for sure.”<\/p>\n

Fritz said he felt the game was still winnable.<\/p>\n

“It was a 2-1 game,” Fritz said. “We were right there. In the end, there could have been a bounce here or a bounce there.”<\/p>\n

Jay Williams picked up his third win of the season. He moves to 3-0 on the season, only allowing four goals in his three appearances.<\/p>\n

Rohlik said his team will “break the bad habits” and that they will “figure it out.”<\/p>\n

“For us obviously we need to look in the mirror and get better defensively, and I think that’s the biggest thing for us,” Rohlik said.<\/p>\n

Blasi said he will enjoy the win, but not for too long.<\/p>\n

“I’m pleased; I think we’re pleased as a team that we got better this weekend,” Blasi said. “We’ll enjoy it tonight and then we have to get ready for another opponent next weekend.”<\/p>\n
