Section: Womens Sports
WHO:Minnesota State Mavericks (10-17-1, 9-14-1 WCHA) at Ohio State Buckeyes (12-15-3, 7-14-3 WCHA)
WHEN:Friday - 7:07 p.m., Saturday - 4:07 p.m.
WHERE: OSU Ice Rink - Columbus, Ohio
PREVIEW: The Mavericks enter their biggest weekend of the season coming off their 100th victory in program history. They face Ohio State this weekend, who they swept earlier this season at All Seasons Arena.
FORWARDS: The third line of Lisa Edman-Nina Tikkinen-Christina Lee contributed 10 total points last weekend, including a hat trick by Lee Saturday. With the emergence of the third line, MSU now has three very good scoring lines. Kala Buganski extended her team-leading, five-game scoring streak over the weekend with an assist Friday and goal Saturday. Maggie Fisher is on a four-game scoring streak.
DEFENSE: No MSU defensemen had a point over the weekend, but the team played physical with BSU and wore them down. Holly Snyder is tied for second on the team in assists with nine. Freshman Amy Udvig was plus-4 on the weekend.
IN NET: Kehler will most likely start Friday for the Mavericks, tying her for all-time games played by a goaltender with 103. She gave up three goals over the weekend and over the last two weeks has increased her save percentage to .907. She is 10-16-1 on the season.
SCOUTING THE BUCKEYES: Senior defensemen Tessa Bonhomme leads the WCHA in scoring by a blue-liner, with 29 points on the season. MSU could take advantage of an offensive-minded defensemen in the series with some odd-man rushes.
UP NEXT FOR MSU: The Mavericks will close out the season with a home series against North Dakota next weekend at All Seasons Arena.
