The University of North Dakota women’s hockey team sent its seniors out in style Saturday afternoon in Ralph Engelstad Arena, claiming a 3-2 Western Collegiate Hockey Association win over Ohio State University on Senior Day. Emma Nuutinen, Kayla Gardner and Charly Dahlquist scored for the Fighting Hawks (14-14-6 overall, 11-12-5 WCHA), while Maddy Field and Lauren Boyle had goals for the Buckeyes (13-16-5 overall, 7-16-5-2 WCHA). Annie Chipman and Lexie Shaw combined for 15 saves in goal for UND, while OSU’s Kassidy Sauve stopped 26 shots. UND, which finished fourth in the WCHA, hosts Ohio State (fifth) on Feb. 24-26 in the first round of the WCHA playoffs. (Check out more photos from Russ Hons here.)
