It took all of regulation and then some in overtime, but the Buckeyes couldn't quite come out on top against Minnesota-Duluth, as they fell in the first round to the Bulldogs, 3-2 in overtime. That will effectively end the Buckeyes season, as they had a successful season, but couldn't pull one out in the tournament.
