COLUMBUS, Ohio-Jackie Barto, Ohio State women's hockey head coach, today announced Katelyn Sershen has signed a National Letter of Intent to attend Ohio State and play hockey beginning in the Fall of 2002. Sershen, a 5 foot, six inch defenseman and native of Woodbury, Minn., attends Woodbury High School and plays club hockey for the Minnesota Thoroughbreds.
