BEIJING — Once more, the United States women’s hockey team will go for gold. Once more, they’ll have to go through Canada to snare it.
The American women, defending gold medal champions following their dramatic shootout win in 2018, earned their way into the 2022 gold-medal game against Canada with a grinding, gritty 4-1 semifinal victory over Finland Monday night.
"To be able to say our next game is a gold medal game is pretty special," Alex Carpenter said.
The game marked the second meeting between the two nations during these Games and 10th overall. Team USA had beaten Finland 5-2 earlier this Olympics.
