Canada is going for bronze medal. Home team was going two on one and RHIANNA KURIO scores for the second time during this game. Zuzana Tomcikova was not able to stop this great chance by team Canada. Assisted by Silvia Traversa, Amanda Kean.
Wonderful shot from the right circle and it is fourth goal for team Canada. And they probably will take bronze medals. It is power play goal when AMANDA KEAN scored and Zuzana Tomcikova had no chance to make a successful save. Assisted by Michelle Marsz.
After the video review, referee said it is goal and Canada leads 3:0. Big complications for Slovakia team before the last period of this game. The goal was scored by Canadian player named RHIANNA KURIO. Unassisted.
Lucky goal for team Cananda and Slovaks have to be sad right now, because they have been good in the second period. JAMIE LEE RATTRAY made nice move infront of the net of Zuzana Tomcikova, sending the ball to the net after ground. Canada leads 2:0. Assisted by Sarah Francis and Tara Swanson.
We did not have to wait a long time for a first goal of the game. Team Canada scores in the second minute of the game when LEE JAMIE RATTRAY was ready to tip the ball on the crase. She did it and Tomcikova had no chance to make a good save. Asisted by Amanda Kean and Tamara Pickford.
Slovakia played great at the beginning of this championship. But then some games were not good for them. For example against team USA in regular women's group. And probably the worst memories they will have for semi-finals against team Czech Republic. Home team won in federal derby 2:0 and went to the final again. Are Slovaks gonna take a bronze medal and celebrate in the end?
Probably the biggest surprise of women’s group at this Ball Hockey Championship in Pardubice. Team Canada won gold medals in Zug (Switzerland) two years ago and they were the greatest favorites again. But for the first team in ball hockey champioships history, Canada will not play in final and will not get gold or silver medals. Although Canadians lost just one game in regular group, in semi-finals they were not able to beat rival from United States of America. Canada had a lead 1:0 and also 2:1 during this important game, but in the end lost 2:3 when Rebecca Dobson from USA scored in the last minute of the match. So Canada wants get at least bronze medals in Pardubice.
