Agosta Leads Canada Over USA At Olympics

As rivalries go, it doesn’t get any better than Canada versus USA in women’s hockey. That became apparent with another edition last night, as Canada edged the USA 2-1 in an Olympic Games round robin game.

Former Chatham hockey player Meghan Agosta was integral in Canada’s win, scoring the opening goal in the second period. Agosta potted a power play marker, with assists from Natalie Spooner and Brianne Jenner.

Agosta was also a physical force in the game, taking a body checking and roughing penalty in her 4th Olympic games.

Agosta also helped Canada open the Pyeongchang Olympics with a pair of wins over the Olympic Athletes from Russia, collecting an assist in the 5-0 victory, and scoring a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over Finland.

Canada’s 3-0 round robin guarantees they’ll be playing for a medal, as they’ve advanced directly to the semi-finals, which take place February 18 and 19.
