Sarah Potomak, Patti Marshall, Grace Zumwinkle, and Taylor Heise faced off in the three-game Under-22 Series between the United States and Canada.

CALGARY, Alberta -- Four members of the University of Minnesota women's hockey team took the ice this weekend as the United States Under-22 Select Team, coached by Gophers associate head coach Joel Johnson, and Canada's National Women's Development Team met for the annual Under-22 Series between the rival nations. Sarah Potomak represented her native Canada while Patti Marshall, Grace Zumwinkle, and Taylor Heise skated for the ice for the Red, White, and Blue at the Markin MacPhail Centre – WinSport Arena in Calgary.
 
Game One: USA 4, Canada 1
Taylor Heise scored twice in the second period, breaking a 1-1 tie and extending the U.S. lead to two, and Grace Zumwinkle sealed the win with an empty-net goal as the U.S. took game one of the three-game series on Thursday evening. 
Game Two: USA 3, Canada 1
The U.S. rallied from a one-goal deficit with three goals in the third period to take a 2-0 series lead over Canada with a 3-1 win in game two on Friday night. Heise picked up her team-leading third point of the series with an assist on the third goal of the game, an empty-netter with 34 seconds remaining.
Game Three: USA 2, Canada 1
Zumwinkle assisted the game's opening goal in the final minute of the first period before Canada tied the game at one in the second period. The U.S. then scored the game-winning goal with inside seven minutes remaining.

For the series, Heise led all players with three points and two goals in the three games while Zumwinkle (1g-1a) finished with two points. Marshall and Potomak played in all three games as well.
