    A great nerve racking game. Canada took a 1-0 lead in the first period on a short handed penalty and then played tremendous lockdown defense that shut down a high powered USA team. With roughly 2 minutes left in regulation time, USA pulled its goalie and scored the equalizer on a great deflection off a wrist shot from the blue line by Knight.



    Then, in overtime… Heartbreaking loss for Canada. Ecstasy for USA

    Actually Knight deflected the wrist shot from Laila Edwards. She is a native Clevelander and is friends with the Kelse brothers, who helped fund her family to travel to Milan to watch her play. She is the first Black player to make the Senior Women's National Team.
