Canada loses to United States at women’s U18

Two goals by the United State’s Natalie Snodgrass spelled the downfall for Canada at the IIHF U18 Women’s World Hockey Championships on Friday night, as the Canadians lost 3-2 in overtime. Goals by Jaime Bourbonnais and Daryl Watts had Canada up 2-0 five minutes into the second period, but Alex Woken put the Americans on the board at 15:20 to cut the lead to one. That lead remained until eight minutes into the third period when Snodgrass scored to tie the game at two and eventually force overtime. Snodgrass would seal the victory for the United States one minute and 47 seconds into the overtime period. Saskatoon’s Sophie Shirley scored three goals in the tournament.
