USA…..12
\nCanada…9<\/p>\n
\tTeam USA kept a capacity-plus crowd on edge Tuesday night in their game against Canada. Coach Guy Baker and company trailed, 8-7, late in the game but outscored Canada 5-1 in the fourth quarter to pull off the 12-9 win.
\n\tThree-goal nights by Brenda Villa and Coralie Simmons didn\u2019t hurt, either.
\n\tThe U.S. tied the game on a penalty shot by Simmons with 5:11 to play in the game. It took Team USA all of 1:02 to go ahead, courtesy of a goal by Gubba Sheehy, her only score of the day. Sheehy\u2019s game-winner was proceeded by goals from Heather Moody, Villa, and another by Simmons to give the U.S. the 12-9 victory.
\n\tGoalkeeper Bernice Orwig had seven saves for the U.S., including a pair of crucial stops in the game\u2019s final minutes.<\/p>\n
Kazakhstan….7
\nNetherlands..12<\/p>\n
\tWorld champion Netherlands opened up action in this year\u2019s Holiday Cup with a 12-7 win over Kazakhstan. Six different players got into the scoring column for the Netherlands, including Karen Kuipers, who scored three.
\n\tKazakhstan fell behind, 1-0, within the game\u2019s first two minutes, and was not able to catch Netherlands for the duration. Netherlands capitalized on six of its eight 6-on-5 opportunities for the game.<\/p>\n
Australia…13
\nRussia……10<\/p>\n
\tEight different players scored for Russia, but Australia\u2019s duo of Simone Hankin and Bridgette Gusterson combined for seven goals as the Aussies went on to get the better of a high-scoring affair, 13-10.
\n\tRussia scored on six of its twelve power plays, but were unable to recover from an early deficit. Russia\u2019s Elena Smourova scored three goals, while Australia\u2019s Gusterson and Hankin had four and three, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
