This weekend, Ohio will face Liberty following its 6-1 victory against Drexel last Saturday. The win against Drexel was a powerful one and showed “that it could still be a formidable presence in the national tournament.”
Ohio currently sits at No. 8 in the ACHA M1 Ranking. Ohio is placed a spot above Niagara and a spot below its upcoming opponent in Liberty. That being said, the Bobcats will be one of the 24 teams in the ACHA National Championships this season, which begins at the beginning of March.
The game this weekend will be the last before nationals, giving a challenging test for the Bobcats with a team that has been hard to beat this season.
