Parsons Scores Twice at 4 Nations Cup

Dartmouth sophomore Sarah Parsons (Dover, Mass.) netted two goals for the United States at the Four Nations Cup as Team USA earned the silver medal in Leksand, Sweden.

Parsons tallied her first of the tournament against Sweden in a 4-0 win for Team USA. She got the scoring started for both the United States and Finland midway through the first period in the 2-1 win for Team USA.

Team USA made it to the gold medal game to face their neighbors to the north and Canada completed the two-game sweep of the United States with a 2-0 win. The two faced each other earlier in the tournament and Canada defeated Team USA 6-3. Finland defeated Sweden, 1-0, to earn the bronze medal.

For Canada, Gillian Apps '06 recorded a goal and an assist, all coming against the United States in the 6-3 win. Former Big Green skaters, Katie Weatherston '06 and Correne Bredin '02 competed for Canada, while Kristin King '02 joined Parsons on Team USA.

The Big Green will welcome back Parsons this coming weekend as Dartmouth travels to Brown on Friday for a 7 p.m. face-off and Yale on Saturday for a 5 p.m. start.
