After falling to the eventual national champions in last season's Frozen Four, former Ohio State women's hockey goaltender Kassidy Sauve has decided to join them herself.
The Clarkson University women's hockey team announced Thursday that Sauve, who earned second-team All-American honors and broke Ohio State's saves record in 2016-17 and allowed only 1.88 goals against average in 2017-18, is joining the Golden Knights as a graduate transfer.

Clarkson defeated Ohio State in last season's Frozen Four semifinals, 1-0, in a game in which Sauve made 33 saves before relinquish the contest's only goal in overtime. The Golden Knights went on to defeat Colgate, 2-1, in the national championship game.
Following Sauve's departure, the Buckeyes now have two goaltenders on their roster for 2018-19, both sophomores: Amanda Zeglen, who made 134 saves and allowed just 13 goals in seven games in 2017-18, and Lynsey Wallace.
