Ohio State Upsets Minnesota in Women's Hockey

The No. 2 ranked Gophers women's hockey team faced a challenging start to their WCHA season, suffering a 4-3 loss and a shootout defeat against No. 5 Ohio State. Freshman forward Jordyn Petrie scored for Ohio State, and despite a late equalizer from Minnesota's Josefin Bouveng, the Gophers could only secure one point from the series. Meanwhile, No. 12 Penn State achieved its first sweep of the season, defeating Union 4-2 and 5-3, with standout performances from Tessa Janecke and goaltender Lauren Barbro. In the first game, Janecke scored two goals, leading the Nittany Lions to victory after a tightly contested match that included several penalties. The following day, Penn State capitalized on its offensive momentum, scoring early and maintaining control to secure the series sweep. As the Gophers prepare for a matchup against top-ranked Wisconsin, the Nittany Lions look to build on their recent success.
