If you're a UMD women's hockey fan, tonight's puck drop is the one to watch. The Bulldogs face No. 1 Ohio State without four key players, who are at the IIHF World Championship. Ohio State has beaten UMD six games in a row.

  • Friday: puck drop at 5 p.m. Central in Columbus
  • Saturday: second game of the series
  • UMD's goal: first Columbus win since September 2024
  • Kraemer and Gascon: expected back next weekend vs. Minnesota State

The absences have given the freshmen room to play. Defenseman Renee Lapointe scored her first two collegiate goals against second-ranked Minnesota, and sophomore Rae Mayer says, "We may be short on numbers, but we have so much passion and so much heart."
