A Shot With Panache

Sanni Vanhanen smoothly backhands a shot past the Penn State defender during the 1/3/26 game at THE OSU Ice Rink. THE Buckeyes 🧹🧹 the Nittany Lions in the first series of the new year. Bucks won this game 4-1 with Kaia Malachino, Sloane Matthews, Mira Jungåker, and Jocelyn Amos scoring goals.

Ohio State begins its 2026-27 season at Penn State on September 24th.

We’re Gonna Win It Next Year…

Was the answer Coach Muzerall gave to at the
OSU2UColumbus event, when asked what the outlook is for next season for THE Ohio State Women’s Ice Hockey team.

Of note, there was no hesitation in her answer.
