Team Usa Women's Hockey Score
The United States women's hockey team made history in 2018 when they beat Canada in the gold medal game at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The game went into overtime, and it was Team USA's Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson who scored the winning goal. This victory was particularly sweet for the US team, as they had lost to Canada in the gold medal game at the previous two Olympics, including a heartbreaking loss in Sochi in 2014 where they surrendered a two-goal lead in the final minutes of regulation.
The Road to the Gold Medal Game
The US team's journey to the gold medal game was not an easy one. They opened the tournament with a decisive 3-1 victory over Finland, and then faced off against the Olympic Athletes from Russia (OAR) in their second game. The US team dominated the game, outshooting the OAR team 50-18, but were unable to find the back of the net and ultimately lost in a shootout.
Despite the loss, the US team bounced back in their next game, a must-win contest against Canada in the preliminary round. The two teams played a hard-fought battle, with Canada taking the lead early in the third period. The US team tied the game with just over six minutes left in regulation, and then Lamoureux-Davidson scored the game-winning goal in the sixth round of the shootout to secure a crucial victory for the US team.
The US team then faced Finland in the semifinals, and once again dominated the game. They scored two goals in the first period and added two more in the third to win the game 5-0 and advance to the gold medal game.
The Gold Medal Game
The gold medal game was a rematch between the US and Canadian teams, and it was a tense, back-and-forth affair. Canada struck first, scoring a power-play goal in the first period. The US team answered back in the second period, with Monique Lamoureux-Morando scoring the equalizer on a breakaway.
The remainder of the game was a defensive battle, with both teams playing cautiously and trying to avoid making mistakes. The score remained tied at 1-1 through the end of regulation, and the game went into overtime.
Overtime was a nerve-wracking affair for fans of both teams. The US team had several close calls, including a shot by Hilary Knight that hit the post, but ultimately it was Lamoureux-Davidson who scored the game-winning goal with a dazzling move that left the Canadian goaltender sprawled on the ice.
Celebrating the Victory
The victory was a historic moment for the US women's hockey team, and for women's sports in general. It was the first time the US team had won the gold medal in women's hockey since 1998, and it came after years of hard work and dedication by the players and coaching staff.
The team returned home to a hero's welcome, with fans lining the streets to cheer on their heroes. The players were also invited to attend a number of high-profile events, including the ESPY awards and a visit to the White House to meet with President Donald Trump.
Overall, the victory was a shining moment for women's sports, and a testament to the hard work and dedication of the US women's hockey team. It was a moment that will live on in the memories of sports fans around the world, and a reminder of the power of teamwork, determination, and perseverance.
