NADINE MUZERALLHEAD WOMEN’S HOCKEY COACH4TH SEASON2018 WCHA COACH OF THE YEAR

After three years at the helm for the Buckeyes, Muzerall has a .572 winning percentage, good for the third highest among current WCHA coaches.

With the success on the ice last season numerous Buckeyes earned individual honors, headlined by Jincy Dunne earning WCHA Defensive Player of the Year and All-American First Team honors. Including Dunne, seven Buckeyes earned WCHA indi-vidual honors with goaltender Andrea Braendli leading the pack with 8 con-ference nods.

Muzerall led the Buckeyes to new heights in just her second year as head coach, making the NCAA tour-nament and NCAA Frozen Four for the first time in program history. Along the way, the Buckeyes set new program records for wins (24) and WCHA wins (14), while posting an 11-5-1 record against top-10 ranked teams. Thanks to her efforts on the bench, Muzerall earned the first WCHA Coach of the Year award in program history.

Off the ice, 20 student-athletes have achieved WCHA All-Academic Team honors while an additional 12 have been named OSU Scholar-Athletes. Five current players are WCHA Schol-ar-Athletes including senior Rebecca Freiburger who is the only player to receive consecutive nominations.

Muzerall coached Canada’s U22 National Team in a three-game series against the USA U22 Team in August, and at the 2017 Nations Cup. In 2016 she was an assistant coach for a three-game series against the Unit-ed States that took place in Calgary (during which Canada took two of the three games), and she has served as a camp coach at Canada’s National

Women’s Under-18 Team selection camp. Back in July of 2016 she was named to the coaching staff for Can-ada’s National Women’s Development Team.

A two-time All-American and two-time national champion as a player at Min-nesota, Muzerall spent five years be-hind the bench as an assistant coach with the Golden Gophers. The first women’s hockey player to be inducted into her university’s hall of fame, she helped guide her former team to four national championships and five-con-secutive spots in the title game. During her tenure she coached five Olympians (Mira Jalosuo, Megan Bozek, Amanda Kessel, Anne Schleper, and Lee Steck-lein), none of whom had made Olympic rosters prior to Muzerall’s arrival.

While serving as a member of the Golden Gophers staff, Muzerall’s teams accrued a record of 182-14-8, including a perfect 41-0-0 record during the 2012-13 season. 13 Minne-sota team records are held by squads the she either coached or played for.

Prior to her return to Minneapolis, Mu-zerall made a couple significant career stops. She spent two seasons playing for Hockey Club Lugano in Switzerland, skating on the first line and leading her team in both points and goals. During her tenure, the team won a Swiss National Championship and advanced to the European Cup, where they won a bronze medal.
