Sweden came away with a convincing win over Japan during Sunday’s action in Utica.
Quarterfinal implications were aplenty in Sunday’s slate of Women’s World Championship, as group favorites proved they are ready for the knockout round, while others battled to avoid relegation.While Canada had won its first two games at the Women’s Worlds, it had not put its opponents away like in the past. That changed on Sunday as the powerhouse beat Czechia 5-0.
O’Neill was named player of the game for obvious reasons. The line of her, Serdachny and Julia Gosling has been an exciting one to watch through the first few games of the tournament. Sarah Nurse registered a pair of assists for Canada as well. Canada prepares for a heavyweight matchup with the United States to determine who will win Group A. Czechia will close out group play on Tuesday against Switzerland.While Japan kept things close against the group favorites, Sweden’s depth ended up being too much, as Damkronorna improved to 3-0 with a 6-2 win on Sunday.
However, Japan bounced back early in the second period. Linköping product Haruka Toko notched her first at the Women’s Worlds in two years just over two minutes into the frame, thanks to a feed from captain Shiori Koike. Less than a minute later, on the player advantage, a great tip from Makoto Ito led to her second of the tournament to tie the game at two.
Sweden has a chance to clinch Group B with a win over Germany on Monday, while Japan has a day off before a must-win game against Denmark on Tuesday night.Though Denmark nearly gave away a victory, they bounced back to earn two points in a 2-1 shootout victory over China. The Danes hunkered down in the third period, seemingly safe with protecting the lead. They were doing a great of just that, but with under two to go in regulation, Kong Minghui found a rebound and knocked in her second of the tournament to tie the game.For the second time in the tournament, China went into overtime. However, just like when they faced Japan, a shootout was needed to find a winner.
