Ohio State women’s hockey had never made the NCAA Tournament when Nadine Muzerall was hired. Eight years later, the Buckeyes are two-time national champions.
Ohio State women’s hockey had never made an NCAA Tournament when Nadine Muzerall became the Buckeyes’ head coach in 2016. Eight years later, the Buckeyes are now a two-time national champion.
Now, however, Ohio State is firmly established as one of the elite programs in the sport. A program that had been one of Ohio State’s least successful teams for most of its history has now become arguably its most successful, winning its second NCAA championship in three years on Sunday when theMuzerall expressed gratitude to Ohio State during her postgame press conference for believing in her ability to turn the Buckeyes into an elite program.
Yet Muzerall and the Buckeyes still felt like they had a lot to prove entering Sunday’s national championship game.
“As much as I took a chance on Ohio State, Ohio State took a chance on me ... A lot of people at Ohio State believed in me and what I could do.”The testimony of players like freshman forward Joy Dunne, who scored the only goal in Sunday’s national championship game after earning the national rookie of the year award last week, should only make more top recruits want to join the Buckeyes going forward.
