COLUMBUS, Ohio - Lexy Parenteau (Franconia, Minn.) scored her first collegiate goal Friday night, but it wasn’t enough as No. 10-ranked Ohio State defeated the Bemidji State University women’s hockey team 6-2 at OSU Ice Rink in Columbus, Ohio.

The redshirt freshman notched the first goal of the game 8:49 into the opening period. Monica Rawlings (Maplewood, Minn.) and Annie Bauerfeld (Woodbury, Minn.) assisted on the goal. This was the first game of the season that the Beavers (0-6-1, 0-6-1 WCHA) were the first team to score.

The Buckeyes (4-3-2, 3-2-2 WCHA) scored six goals from four different players before Bemidji State was able to score again. Jenna Kilpatrick, Hayley Klassen (2), Erin Keys (2) and Mallory Peckels all scored goals for Ohio State. Nine different Buckeyes assisted on the six goals.

Eva Schwaerzler (Dornbirn, Austria) picked up her second goal of the season with less than three minutes remaining in the game. Her goal was the first power-play goal of the year for BSU, and it was assisted by Erin Cody (Roseville, Minn.) and Ashley Leopold (Afton, Minn.).

The Beavers have five goals on the year, and Schwaerzler has two of them.

Emily Brookshaw (Webster, Wisc.) took the loss after playing the first two periods. She saved 24 shots and allowed four goals. Jennifer Bauer (St. Catharines, Ontario) played the third period, saving 15 shots while allowing her first two collegiate goals. Liana Bonanno played 44:14, and recorded the win after allowing one goal and saving 12 shots. Jill Mauch went the rest of the way in net for the Buckeyes and allowed one goal while saving nine shots.

Bemidji State is off to its second-worst start in school history. The last time the Beavers went seven games without recording a victory was the first year of the program, 1998-99, when they started the season 0-9-0.

The series finale between the Beavers and Buckeyes will take place at 7:07 p.m. Saturday at OSU Ice Rink.
