 How it Happened

Graduate student Mackenzie Heldberg found a Cordingley cutting across the middle of the fan, and she scored on a left-handed shot. Senior Keegan Barger followed with a free position goal with just nine seconds remaining to make it a 6-3 game at the break.
• Hopkins pulled within two early in the second half when freshman Eliza Bowman beat Jillian Rizzo on a quick-stick off the Maeve Barker feed. Liza Hernandez then sandwiched a pair of goals around a Hurlbrink free position goal and Ohio State led 8-5 with 18:52 to play.
• Junior Claire Mills collected a pass from Cordingley in the middle of the fan and beat Rizzo from in-tight to spark a 5-1 Blue Jays' run to end the game. Cordingley followed with three straight unassisted goals and Hopkins led 9-8 with 3:31 on the clock. It was the first time the Blue Jays' had led since it was 1-0.
• Jamie Level answered on the other for the Buckeyes, scoring on the run six yards out and tying the game with 2:49 to go. Hopkins won the ensuing draw but Rizzo came up with the stop to give the ball back to Ohio State. The Blue Jay defense forced a shot clock violation and took over with 32 seconds.
