A thrilling weekend of women’s college hockey came and went to start February, as Clarkson, Cornell and Colgate all played each other within the puck paradise of upstate New York.
Here’s a look at how NCAA.com correspondent Jordan Menard made sense of these high-stakes meetings in her latest Power 5 rankings.
No. 1 Ohio State (Previous: 1) — The Buckeyes swept Bemidji State. Jenna Buglioni earned her first hat trick and Jenna Gardner showed off with some incredible stick work.
No. 2 Wisconsin (Previous: 2) — The Badgers took a sweep over No. 10 St. Cloud, where Saturday’s overtime game-winner was scored by none other than K.K. Harvey, who is earning a reputation for blue line to blue line cellies. Laney Potter scored twice in Sunday’s win.
