Enright's goal helps Wisconsin beat Ohio State 3-2 at Frozen Four, win
program's 9th championship
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (AP) --- Claire Enright scored the go-ahead goal in the
third quarter Sunday, Ava McNaughton had 34 saves, and No. 2 seed Wisconsin
beat top-seeded and defending national champion Ohio State 3-2 at the Frozen
Four to win the national championship.
Wisconsin (35-4-2) all NCAA programs with nine NCAA titles --- which includes
four of the last six (the 2020 Frozen Four was canceled due to COVID) --- and
21 Frozen Four wins.
The Badgers and Ohio State have faced off in each of the last four championship
games and combined to win six consecutive national titles.
Enright, on the right side, darted toward net along the goal line and
ricocheted a shot off the back post into the net to cap the scoring with 6:18
left in the game.
Kelly Gorbatenko had a goal and an assists, Laney Potter also scored a goal,
and Adela Sapovalivova had two assists for Wisconsin. Gorbatenko has 50 goal
contributions (28 goals and 22 assists) this season.
Kassidy Carmichael and Jocelyn Amos each scored a goal for Ohio State (36-5-0).
Hailey MacLeod had 31 saves.
Gorbatenko opened the scoring almost 1 1/2 minutes into the game with a wrist
shot from a few feet inside the blue line and Potter slammed home a pass from
Gorbatenko to make it 2-0 about six minutes later.
Carmichael redirected a shot from the right side by Mira Jungaker past
goaltender Ava McNaughton's glove side to get the Buckeyes on the scoreboard
with 16:28 left in the game and, just more than two minutes later, Amos rammed
in the rebound of a shot by Emma Peschel to tie it at 2-2.
