MINNEAPOLIS - Alumni Megan Bozek, Gigi Marvin, and Anne Schleper earned gold with the U.S. Women's National Team, and Sarah Davis and Sarah Potomak took home silver with Canada's National Women's Team as the 2015 Four Nations Cup concluded Sunday in Sundsvall, Sweden.
All seven players with Maroon & Gold ties took home medals as Gopher alumni Noora Räty and Mira Jalosuo earned bronze with Finland. Both medal games required overtime; the U.S. defeated Canada and Finland defeated Sweden, both by scores of 3-2 in overtime.
United States 3, Canada 2 (OT)
Canada led 1-0 and 2-1, but the United States forced overtime, and Hilary Knight scored the game-winning goal for the Red, White, and Blue just 36 seconds into extra time. Bozek, Marvin, and Schleper all skated on the U.S. blue line, while Davis was in the lineup for Canada as a center. Potomak did not play in the championship game.
Finland 3, Sweden 2 (OT)
Finland led 2-0 late in the second period before Sweden rallied to tie the game and force overtime. Jenni Hiirikoski scored the game-winning goal for Finland at the 2:15 mark of the overtime period. Jalosuo was in the lineup for Finland, while Räty backed up Meeri Räisänen (17 saves).
