CAREER RECORD

105-59-17

After five seasons at the helm of the Buckeyes, Muzerall has a .612 winning percentage and is a two-time WCHA Coach of the Year (2018, 2020).

Muzerall led the Buckeyes to their first WCHA title in 2020. With the success on the ice during the 2019-20 season, numerous Buckeyes earned individual honors, headlined by Jincy Dunne earning AHCA First Team All-American and WCHA Defensive Player of the Year for the second year in a row, while Emma Maltais was named AHCA Second Team All-American and a Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award Top 10 Finalist. It marks the first time since 2012 that a Buckeye has received the honor.

Muzerall took Ohio State to new heights in the 2019-20 season as the team posted its third-straight, 20-win season and tallied eight wins against Top 10 opponents, including six Top 3 upsets. The Buckeyes also won their first ever WCHA Championship in just their second conference championship appearance. In the Final Faceoff, Ohio State defeated Minnesota and Wisconsin in overtime to give the Buckeyes their first automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.

In her second year as head coach, Muzerall and the Buckeyes made the NCAA tournament 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, 16 student-athletes have achieved WCHA All-Academic Team honors while 10 were named WCHA Scholar-Athletes. 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 threegame series against the United 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 Canada's National Women's Development Team.

A two-time All-American and national champion as a player at Minnesota,

Muzerall spent five years behind 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-consecutive spots in the title game. During her tenure she coached five Olympians (Mira Jalosuo, Megan Bozek, Amanda Kessel, Anne Schleper, and Lee Stecklein), 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. Thirteen Minnesota team records are held by squads the she either coached or played for.

Prior to her return to Minneapolis, Muzerall 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.
