After starting the hockey season with a home series at Baxter Arena (for the first time), the Mavericks travel to Columbus, Ohio to take on (The) Ohio State University. The Mavs are 2-0-0 to start the season, sweeping Alabama Huntsville. The Mavs beat the Chargers 6-1 on Friday behind Isaiah Saville and 5-0 on Saturday with Austin Roden posting the shutout. OSU is 1-0-1, winning the Icebreaker tournament. The Buckeyes tied Western Michigan 2-2 and won a shootout to play RIT in the championship game. OSU beat RIT by a score of 3-1.
Buckeyes head coach Steve Rohlik was one of Coach Mike Kemp’s original assistants when he started the program in 1996. Rohlik would have still been on the staff when Coach Mike Gabinet was recruited as a player, but Rohlik moved on to the University of Minnesota-Duluth the year Gabinet first laced up his skates as a Maverick in the 2000-2001 season.
UNO is 17-13-5 all time in games versus the Buckeyes, and the Mavs have won their last five games against OSU. However, OSU is currently ranked #12/13 nationally. Last year, the Buckeyes won the Big Ten regular season and advanced to the NCAA tournament, where they lost to Denver.
There was no Weekly Media Availability posted this week. We’re not sure if it will return this season. (We asked @OmahaVID on Twitter but didn’t receive a response.) Stay tuned.
