USA Tops Canada in Overtime, Take Gold.

Kamloops B.C - Canada and the United States have met in every final of the 17 women's world championship. The 2016 final would be no different, Canada won the first eight, but momentum has shifted south of the border with their arch rivals taking seven of the last nine.
Boston College Senior, Alex Carpenter crushed Canada's hopes of reclaiming women's world hockey championship gold with an overtime winner for the United States in a 1-0 win over the host country Monday in Kamloops, B.C.
"It got pretty quiet, so I wasn't really sure if it went in," Carpenter said. "I've had some chances throughout the tournament and I guess this was just the right place at the right time. I would have given up any other goal at any other point for this one."
The U.S. went undefeated in the tournament this year en route to a third straight world title outscoring their opponents 23-2 in the tournament. The lone two goals came against the Canadians. In the final the U.S outshot Canada 33-32 and that last shot was the most important.
Canada had plenty of opportunities to take home the gold, but failed to convert on six penalties on the night and two of which came in overtime. "We had some great chances, we just didn't put the puck in the net and that's what it comes down to," Canadian Defenseman Meaghan Mikkelson said.
For team Canada it is the sixth time they have finished second in the competition, while the U.S claimed its seventh Gold medal.
