After a strong 5-2 showing against Canada over the weekend, Team USA struggled to keep up on home turf tonight. Team USA scored a single goal in a 5-1 loss to the Canadians at Agganis Arena, giving up too many goals on odd man rushes while being unable to score on Canada’s Geneviève Lacasse.
Team USA dominated in possession time, but defensive breakdown led to a number of great scoring chances for Canada and Lacasse’s stellar play kept the US goals to a minimum. Team USA’s only goal came from BC’s own Emily Pfalzer, whose terrific individual effort resulted in a goal off of her own rebound.
