Detroit goaltender Annelies Bergmann recorded a 25-save shutout for Team USA in a historic 7-0 victory over rival Canada on Thursday at the IIHF Under-18 Women's World Championship at LaBahn Arena in Madison, Wisconsin.
The victory marks the first time the U.S. has blanked Team Canada in the history of the tournament. The U.S. heads into the playoff round as the top seed with a 3-0 record in preliminary-round play and earns a bye to the semifinal round on Sunday.
“I thought we just played really well all over the ice,” U.S. head coach Katie Lachapelle told usahockey.
