With these three, Ohio State should be an amazing club. That's the making of an outstanding recruiting class and Reily is easily one of the top D that MN has ever seen and Nelson is great too!!!

CONGRATS TO Kilpatrick, Nelson, Riley & Ohio State!!! It appears that many of our top players will be playing outside MN!!!

Sucks for our Gophers, but congrats to Keys & Co. @ Ohio State!

Buckeyes shock U

From news services

Former Cretin-Derham Hall standout Erin Keys scored both Ohio State goals as the Buckeyes defeated Minnesota 2-1 on Saturday at Columbus, Ohio, to earn a split of their women's Western Collegiate Hockey Association series.

Keys opened the scoring with a goal at 4:42 of the first period.

Gigi Marvin tied the score with a goal at 17:04 of the third period. The sophomore forward tipped in a slap shot by Anya Miller for her fifth goal of the season. Brittany Francis started the play when she passed the puck out from the slot to Miller.

Ohio State (3-5-0, 1-5-0 WCHA) regained the lead with Keys' second goal, with 1:08 remaining.

The No. 6-ranked Gophers (4-3-1, 3-2-1) pulled goalie Brittony Chartier for an extra attacker but were unable to convert.

Ohio State, which has the nation's No. 1 power-play unit, was unable to score in 13 opportunities with a man advantage.

The Gophers play No. 5 Minnesota-Duluth next Friday and Saturday at Ridder Arena.
