Canada Wins 2022 U18 Women's Gold

Boston University commit Mari Pietersen made 29 saves, and Team Canada held on to defeat the United States, 3-2, on Monday night in the gold medal game of the 2022 IIHF Women's Under-18 World Championship in Madison, Wisc.

Canada jumped out to a three-goal lead before the U.S. responded with back-to-back goals late in the second period. The final 20 minutes were scoreless, giving Canada its second U18 gold medal in seven years, and sixth all-time.

Pietersen is slated to suit up for BU starting this fall, according to eliteprospects.com. The Terriers went 12-15-6 overall last season, and finished sixth in the Hockey East standings.
