slot with 9:43 left overtime to boost the U.S. Women’s National Team to a 3-2
victory over Canada in the 2017 IIHF Women’s World Hockey Championship in
Plymouth, Mich. The win marked the seventh time in the last eight years that
the U.S. earned the tournament’s gold medal.
Kacey Bellamy (New Hampshire) scored America’s first
two goals on the evening at USA Hockey Arena, while Nicole Hensley (Lindenwood)
made 28 saves for the U.S. Meghan Agosta (Mercyhurst) and Brianne Jenner
(Cornell) tallied goals for Canada, while Shannon Szabados (MacEwan) stopped 37
shots. The U.S. outshot Canada, 40-28, before 3,917 on-lookers.
The two squads are expected to meet again at the 2018
Olympic Winter Games in South Korea in February.
