Going for Back-to-Back Gold

U.S. Women’s Hockey Team Advances to Gold Medal Game

The United States women’s hockey team took the gold medal back in 2018, and they had to beat Finland in the semifinals to get there. Monday’s semifinal featured a meeting with the Finns once again, and the same result. The Americans won (4-1) thanks to goals from Hilary Knight, Abby Roque, Cayla Barnes and Hayley Scamurra. The USA will face rival Canada in the gold medal game on Wednesday (11:10 pm ET). The Canadians beat the U.S. 4-2 in the preliminary round, but now the gold is on the line.
