Kirsten Simms (Wisconsin) scored the only goal of the game as the United States edged Canada, 1-0, in overtime in the preliminary round of the 2024 IIHF Women's World Championship in Utica, N.Y.
Simms connected on a wrist shot less than four minutes into the extra session at the Adirondack Bank Center. Assisting on the goal was Caroline Harvey (Wisconsin), while Aerin Frankel (Northeastern) earned the shutout for Team USA with 26 saves, and was also named Player of the Game.
The U.S., which is seeking its second straight Worlds gold medal, finished 4-0-0 in the preliminary round, the best record in Group B. The Americans will begin quarterfinal play on Thursday against an opponent to be named.
