On the Nov. 12, 2025, edition of the PodKaz, USCHO.com's weekly look at women's hockey, hosts Nicole Haase and Todd Milewski start with a look back at a 0-0 tie between No. 7 Quinnipiac and No. 11 Clarkson. It was the Golden Knights' second shutout of the weekend; they lost in overtime to Princeton on Friday.

There were a few upsets to note: RIT beat No. 13 Colgate on the road and Bemidji State exited last place in the WCHA with a 2-1 win over No. 14 St. Thomas.

A series between No. 8 UConn and Boston College left each team with a win on the other's home ice, while No. 9 Northeastern stayed at 100% in Hockey East points with two wins over Vermont.

We also reflect on the first two games of the Rivalry Series, 4-1 and 6-1 wins for the U.S. against Canada. Minnesota's Abbey Murphy took her NCAA scoring pace to the international game with a hat trick in the opener.

Then we had some thoughts on Hockey Hall of Fame inductees Jennifer Botterill of Harvard and Brianna Decker of Wisconsin.

A look ahead to this week's games included a home-and-home series between No. 4 Cornell and No. 14 Colgate and two games between rivals Boston College and Boston University.

At the end, we look forward to Nicole's upcoming appearance on "Jeopardy!" Check TV schedules for the Thanksgiving episode.
