Late rally pushes Team USA ahead in medal count

By Max Calderone | Sports Writer

It was a good week for the Americans in PyeongChang, South Korea, as they added nine more Olympic medals since the Lariat’s last update.

This late charge has moved Team USA ahead to fourth place with 21 total medals, including eight gold, seven silver and six bronze in the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Perhaps the most notable win was the American women’s hockey team, which claimed the gold medal title after defeating Canada 3-2 after as shootout in the tournament’s championship round.

It was redemption for the Americans, who had previously lost to Canada earlier in the Olympics.
