Game day today. We took on Australia in the first semi of the tournament. Now it shouldn't be a surprise we played Australia. It seems like every major tournament involves us matching up with Australia at some point. They are a very strong team with great shooters, team speed, versatility and goalie play. Despite all that, we played a great game. Had a little adversity at the end there that gave Australia a chance to tie the game on a penalty with one second left in regulation. They hit it to send it into overtime. In the OT our girls came together in a big big way winning OT 2-0 for a 11-9 final and a huge win to send us into the gold medal game on Thursday! Seriously a team effort with incredible moments and characteristically strong team play. So proud of the big win, one more. We get a second shot at Spain after our tie in the group play. Incredible win.
Thumbs up for the "W".
