Well, France do get one more goal and it's Passard with a one-time slapper that's deflected by ATHENA LOCATELLI in mid air. Power-play goal.
Assists: Emmanuelle Passard, Gwendoline Gendame.
The Austrian power play finally cashes in, though it's far too little, far too late. Altmann with the initial shot, then ANNA MEIXNER picked up the rebound at the side of the net and went upstairs over the shoulder of Baldin. Power-play goal.
Assist: Denise Altmann.
On a 2-on-1, Rihet shot the puck, Marchhant stopped it, but LORE BAUDRIT won a battle for the rebound and forced it across the goal line for the 6th French goal.
Assist: Morgane Rihet.
This is becoming a rout now. A turnover at the Austrian blueline leads to LARA ESCUDER walking in and firing a wrister that beats Honrich on the near side.
Unassisted.
The difference in this game has been power plays, no question. France is 3/4 and Austria is 0/4.
Shots on goal in the 2nd period (and game): FRA 11 (18), AUT 5 (19).
Quality scoring chances: FRA 5 (6), AUT 0 (3).
3rd period beginst at 14:30 CEST.
Their first goal at even strength, as JANE VIX carried the puck through the neutral zone and fired a wrister from the high slot that beat Hornich inside the near post.
Assist:
Another power-play goal for France. They had pressure around the net and captain MARION ALLEMOZ put in the rebound. Power-play goal, and they continue on the power-play for another 1:23.
Assist: Estelle Duvin.
15 seconds the first time, and this time 16! Again, Lea Parment with the big slapper from the point. Marchhant stopped it, but EMMANUELLE PASSARD was right there to put in the rebound. Power-play goal.
Assist: Lea Parment.
This time, the Austrians have to be shaking their heads about the missed chances on the power plays -- three of them, including two 5-on-3s. France, meanwhile, took only 15 seconds to score on their only power play.
Shots on goal in the 1st period: FRA 7, AUT 14
Quality scoring chances: FRA 1, AUT 3.
2nd period starts at 13:44 CEST.
That didn't take long. The French got control off the faceoff, and Boutez-Andrieu sent a cross-point pass to LEA PARMENT, who scored on a slap shot to tie the score. Power-play goal.
Assist: Virgninie Boutez-Andrieu.
The Austrians go right back to the attack. Baldin makes a couple of saves but finally it's too much and JANINE WEBER.
Assist: Julia Kainberger.
