United States 3 - Canada 2 (OT)
 

Jocelyne Lamoureux opened the scoring, making it 1-0 for the United States at 16:56 in the first, but Gillian Apps (Unionville, Ont.) took a nice shot off a pass out front to tie it up in the last eight seconds of the period.

In the second period, Jenny Potter stickhandled the puck to her backhand and put it into the back of the Canadian net at 12:05 to regain a 2-1 lead for the United States. Canada tied it up again in the third, with Rebecca Johnston (Sudbury, Ont.)  letting a quick shot go at 16:04 in the period.

A fast-paced overtime period ended in favour of the United States, with Hilary Knight netting the game-winner and the United States winning gold at the 2011 IIHF World Women’s Championship.
