On March 25, 2023, Barnes announced that she would be transferring to Ohio State University for the 2023–24 season.[3] In her lone season with the Buckeyes and her final year of NCAA eligibility, Barnes recorded 36 points in 39 games, and her +71 plus-minus led the league. In the finals of the national tournament, Barnes had an assist on the championship-winning goal, scored by Joy Dunne, capping off her six-year collegiate career with her first NCAA national championship.[4]
