Wisconsin women's hockey beats Ohio State to win record seventh national championship
The Wisconsin Badgers women's hockey team is now the winningest program in NCAA history. With a 1-0 win over Ohio State on Sunday, the Badgers won their seventh national championship, which is a new record.
In its journey to the title game, Wisconsin took down Long Island University, No. 3 Colgate and No. 2 Minnesota. The championship matchup against the defending champion Buckeyes wound up being a low-scoring defensive battle, and Badgers freshman Kirsten Simms tallied the game's only goal 13:28 into the first period.
Wisconsin head coach Mark Johnson sang Kronish's praises after the game and credited her for making the most of her opportunity at the end of a long career with the Badgers.
"I give a lot of credit to Cami, our goaltender," Johnson said, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "I mean, she came up big. She took the torch this year. She has worked hard for five years and this is the first year she really got an opportunity to play. She wanted the baton, she took us to the end and today she was the difference in the game." When the final seconds ticked off the clock, the Badgers rushed Konish and celebrated a record-setting championship.
