Brianna Decker leads United States past Canada 5-3 for Four Nations gold
JARVENPAA, Finland — Ignoring details cost Canada the gold medal at the Four Nations Cup.
Brianna Decker scored and added two assists as the United States downed Canada 5-3 on Saturday to the Four Nations Cup final. The Americans’ victory came a day after Canada closed out the round-robin portion of the tournament with a 3-2 triumph over the rival United States, winning three straight to open up the event.
According to head coach Laura Schuler, the difference between the two games was obvious.
“We didn’t execute some of the little things that we’ve been working on all week,” said Schuler. “Some of the things we did really well in yesterday’s game we ended up not doing today.”
