Princeton freshman defenseman Sasha
Sherry and her teammates won gold at the IIHF Under-18 Women's
World Championship this weekend in Calgary. The U.S. team went 5-0
in the tournament and defeated Canada in the title game.
The team breezed through pool play with 11-0 wins over Russia and
Switzerland and a 6-2 win against Sweden. That put the U.S. into
the semifinals where it downed the Czech Republic 8-0 before
meeting Canada in the title game. In that title game, the U.S. team
jumped out to an early lead en route to a 5-2 win over the host
team.
Sherry appeared in all five games for the U.S. team and notched a
goal in the team's opening win over Russia and picked up a pair of
assists in the tournament, one against the Czech and one against
Sweden.
Sherry, the lone collegiate player on the U.S. roster, will rejoin
her teammates on campus this week and will be back in the Princeton
lineup when the Tigers resume their schedule on Jan. 29 at
Quinnipiac.
