Agosta-Marciano Scores Twice In Birthday Win

Meghan Agosta-Marciano celebrated her birthday in style, scoring twice in the third period of Canada’s 3-2 round robin win over the USA in the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

Agosta-Marciano, who hails from Ruthven, Ontario, is a former member of the Chatham Outlaws and Chatham-Kent Cyclones.

After falling behind in the second period, Canada, lead by Agosta-Marciano, fought back in the third period to take a 3-1 lead.

The occasion was extra special for Agosta-Marciano as she was celebrating her 27th birthday.

The USA would score with just over a minute remaining, with the goaltender pulled and an extra attacker, but could not even the score, despite a late Canada penalty for too many men on the ice.

Agosta-Marciano was named the games first star. She is the reigning Olympic MVP.

Canada will now move on directly to the semi-final February 17.
